Be part of our
by volunteering on Vancouver Island
Welcome to
Rock & Oak Acres
We are a family of six living in beautiful Cowichan Valley on southern Vancouver Island. With the help of volunteers from all over the world we are working on realizing our vision: to transform a former barn into a multipurpose event location with the help of international volunteers. Inspired by the surrounding nature, our passion for crafting and a sense of community, we are creating a cozy venue that many guests will feel comfortable in. Started in 2017, this place is constantly developing. A few years from now we will hopefully be able to have weddings, retreats, and other unforgettable events taking place in our beautiful multipurpose venue.Â
That’s what we need your support for. Help us creating our dream by volunteering on Vancouver Island, join us in developing a unique place!
