Camp Raj Yog - History of Land

History of Land

This area of the Sunshine Coast was originally inhabited
by the Shishalh people of the Coast Salish First Nations.

The area was chosen for its mild climate and abundance of fresh water and natural food (fish, shellfish, berries and roots). The Shishalh tribe became known as the Sechelts, a derivation of she'shalt, meaning the people. Roberts Creek formed the boundary between the Sechelt people to the north and the Squamish people to the south.

For several years, the 10 acre property that is now Camp Raj yog, was owned by 2 developers who had turned it into an outdoor adventure camp ground called Big Rock Resort.

After heavy landscaping and preparation of the site, their plans changed and they decided to sell the land. We are so grateful to be the caretakers of this sacred land of the Shishalh people and for all the work that the previous owners put into developing the land and making it the perfect home for Camp Raj Yog.
