An introductory program for our youngest campers, Explorers are led through a variety of camp activities under the guidance of experienced staff members. We strive to ensure that campers have a great camp experience, setting them up for a life-long love of nature and outdoor activity. We offer a higher ratio of staff to campers for this younger group. Explorers stay in shared accommodations in mixed-gender groups.

Our Discoverers can expect to learn skills in activities such as archery, canoeing, challenge course elements, swimming, and hiking, among others. Camp-wide games, nightly campfires, and out-trip on Wednesday night are also featured throughout the week. Through these experiences, Discoverers develop a sense of independence, foster an appreciation for the outdoors, and return home with a week full of great memories. This program is gender-specific, with groups designated for boys or girls, and those who identify with each gender in those groups.

Our Prospectors program is designed for campers to challenge themselves during a wide variety of activities with the encouragement of their peers and guidance from their counsellors. They will have opportunities to try the most advanced elements of our high ropes course, go on an overnight out-trip, and enjoy many other traditional camp activities. Aspects of self-reflection through journaling and mindfulness will help Prospectors make the most of their experiences at camp. Campers in this program stay in the Hilltop Cabins, allowing for a more independent camp experience. This program is gender-specific, with groups designated for boys or girls, and those who identify with each gender in those groups.

Our Voyageurs program gives veteran campers and new campers alike a longer experience with 12 days of adventure and the opportunity to build stronger connections. Participants will enjoy programming such as our static course, an in-depth canoe lesson, and self-reflection through journaling and mindfulness, all while developing friendships and learning new skills. Voyageurs will use the skills they learn on a multi-night out-trip. Campers in this program stay in the Hilltop Cabins.

After a 7-year hiatus, we’re excited to bring back our Leadership in Training (LIT) program. This 2-week co-ed experience is designed for older campers who love camp life and want to grow their skills and confidence without necessarily becoming a counsellor. The program is split into two streams:

Modern Leaders (June 29 – July 10) For campers ready to level up their real-world skills. Through hands-on workshops in financial literacy, healthy relationships, public speaking, and more, participants will gain tools that support success beyond camp. They’ll also get a taste of independence with basic cooking lessons and a friendly cooking competition. To top it off, each participant will shadow a camp role, whether kitchen, counsellor, office or maintenance, to see how leadership works behind the scenes

Leaders in Wilderness (July 13 – July 24) For campers who feel most at home in the outdoors. Participants will dig into wilderness and survival skills, learning advanced shelter building, fire crafting, orienteering, and land-based learning, with plenty of classic camp fun along the way. They’ll head out on a 3-day backpacking hike in Nordegg where they can put their skills to the test, bond with their group and create unforgettable memories.

Our Counsellor In Training (CIT) programs returns in 2026! Participants spend their time preparing to lead children in the outdoors. The first week is a close mirror to our summer staff training, with additional information sessions around problem solving, behaviour management, and communications. The first weekend will be spent obtaining a standard first aid and CPR certification. The second week is the spent shadowing our experienced Counsellors for the first few days and experiencing different programs from a staff perspective. The second half of the week is spent bonding and reflecting as a group during a multi-day hike out trip. The third and fourth week are a complete shadow experience, working with one group each week and implementing lessons learned from the first two weeks of the program.
