We are situated in Squamish, BC on more than 7 acres of pristine lawns, gardens and trees surrounded by majestic views of mountains and waterfalls.

I have been teaching in China for 4 years now, two years at Yang-En University in Fujian province and currently I am at Sanda University in Jiashan, Zhejiang province. I very much enjoy teaching university-age students and over the years, have formed many wonderful and lasting friendships. I’m excited about being a camp teacher and counselor at ACE Canada this summer in Squamish, B.C.
I was born and raised near Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Before moving to China in 2004, I lived in western Canada for 15 years. Prior to teaching, my major employment field was Human Resources. I have lots of business knowledge and experience to share with my students.
I believe ACE Canada is an excellent way for students to experience beautiful British Columbia Canada while improving their English skills. The camp offers a number of fun and exciting adventures in both the vibrant city of Vancouver and beautiful rural Squamish. I look forward to sharing my wonderful country with our camp students.
If you would like to contact me directly with any questions, please email me at dave@acecamp.ca and I will get back to you.
