Opened in 1998, West Coast Wilderness Lodge and resort was designed and intended for groups and retreats and workshops. Whether it's critical decision making or long term goal setting, we pride ourselves on offering customized packages for all shapes, sizes and ages.At the resort we endeavor to create an escape for you and your staff in an atmosphere that promotes team ship and sharing. We actively engage participants in building camaraderie.
Teams can accelerate their growth by engaging in outdoor pursuits; whether helping each other on a kayaking trip, exploring the wilderness on a zodiac wildlife boat tour or simply spending time together on a hike in the rain forest. All of us need to be able to connect with each other and the world we share.
Location
We believe location and your accommodation is the number one concern when planning to take your team or associates on a working retreat. Only three hours by car and ferry from Vancouver, 35 minutes by float plane from Vancouver, Victoria or Whistler, or one hour and 30 minutes from Seattle. The convenient location makes West Coast Wilderness Lodge the ideal place for a busy group of professionals or a simple getaway.West Coast Wilderness Lodge is located on the shore of Sechelt Inlet on the Sunshine Coast. The lodge has only the view and food for distractions, which means you can get the most out of your retreat. The natural beauty surrounding the lodge creates an environment where people and experiences have meaning.
