Upcoming Meeple Leaf Board Game Nights: April 26, May 12

What’s a board game getaway?

Meeple Leaf Board Game Getaway is a family-friendly event held at beautiful Canim Lake, for 4 days and 3 nights. During the day guests do outdoorsy activities, like kayaking, hiking and fishing, and in the evenings join us in the game room to play board games with the rest of the group. Or you can just play games all day, we won’t judge!

Guests stay at lovely South Point Resort, in their choice of lakeside cabin, condo, or campsite. Canim Lake is about a 5½-hour drive north of Vancouver. Yes it’s far, but that’s the point! Imagine the memorable experiences you’ll have enjoying this part of the province you’ve likely never been to, and making new friends while playing board games! Carpooling options will be available. Meals are not included; guests bring their own food and prepare it in their unit’s kitchen or on the grill.

The dates

  Morning Afternoon Evening
Thursday, May 30 Depart from home Arrive at Canim Lake, resort activities Board games
Friday, May 31 Resort activities Resort activities Board games
Saturday, June 1 Resort activities Resort activities Board games
Sunday, June 2 Resort activities Depart from Canim Lake Arrive at home

This is just a suggested itinerary, you can extend your trip on either end, and will have a choice of things to do throughout each day. For example, in the evenings you can hang out around the bonfire instead of playing games, and during the day if you just feel like relaxing and playing a game or two there will likely be someone willing to join you!
