About Us

Optimist Club Camp Picnic - June 29th, 2013.  Contact us for tickets and details.


The Vancouver Optimist Club is committed to "Bringing Out the Best in Kids".  The Vancouver club sponsors youth projects to serve our community for benefit of the young people.  Chartered in 1946, the Vancouver club is the oldest OI service club in the Pacific Northwest District of Optimist International.  Our goal has been and continues to be to make a difference in the lives of our children.

The Vancouver Optimist Club Foundation has a 43 acre youth camp on the Lewis River.  Any youth group (Scouts, Church Youth Groups and so on) may use the camp. The camp has been enhanced by several youth projects (Boys and Girl scouts groups, Eagle scout projects, etc) at the camp over the years.

We support a JOOI (Junior Optimist Octagon International) Club called the M.O.B. (Mentors of Boys).  Our membership enjoys our work parties at the youth camp with this great group of young men.

In addition to the youth camp, yearly events include local essay and oratorical contests, youth appreciation and respect for law.  We welcome new projects that can support the youth of our community.

We support Kids Day at Oaks Park which supports Childhood Cancer.  This is usually held in June.

There are many ways you can support us with your time and talents.  Please contact us, our Children Need Us. 

By Providing Hope and Positive Vision Optimists Bring Out the Best in Kids.
