Moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grandmas, and grandpas are invited to camp for the weekend as well. Scampers are between the ages of 5 and 7, campers must be 18 years of age or older and submit an original copy of a criminal record check with vulnerable sector check by June 1.
Check-in is between 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm on the first day of camp.
Pick-up is at 1:30 pm on the last day of camp.
Summer Theme: Rise Up
Our Summer theme for 2025 is “Rise Up”. Everything at camp will revolve around the theme; the games will narrate an epic story, the costumes and decorations transporting you to a different era, and the amazing soundtracks will get you to Rise Up.
Stay tuned in the spring for more information regarding the theme!
What to Expect
Wake Up
Around 8:00 we wake up the campers and start off the day with some short wake-up activities or games such as pillow fights, relay races, or other fun challenges. Campers are usually still a little drowsy but they wake up just in time for breakfast. For this age, some campers like to wake up super early, so we have bonus gym games with our morning watch staff for the early risers so the rest of the cabin can continue sleeping.
Activity Time
During this morning block of the day, campers participate in many of the different activities we have at camp. Anything from climbing, arts, archery, laser tag, just to name a few. Check out the rest!
Lunch & Tuck
After eating lunch in the dining hall it’s time for tuck – a shop with candy, drinks, camp clothing, and other cool stuff. Tuck usually happens in the afternoon after lunch, but sometimes we like to do special things for tuck and we move it around a little.
Beach Time
We head down to the beach while the afternoon is still young and spend a few hours in the sun. At the beach, campers can build sandcastles, play beach volleyball, frolic in the water, or just relax on the beach while having a great conversation with a friend.
Cabin Time
After the beach, there is time set aside for campers to hang out with their cabin and get a taste of the different things camp has to offer. All of the activities from the morning block (climbing, arts, games, etc) can be done as a cabin.
Supper
Once every week we have a theme meal. Keep your eyes open for when we announce our theme meals so you can put together a costume and come have a blast at supper!
Evening Event
Each night we play a big wide game with the entire camp participating. Our wide games follow a storyline throughout the week, which means every game is unique leading to an epic finale.
Mug Up
Mug Up is just a code word we use for an evening snack.
Evening Session
Everyone gathers for some time to worship together. The speaker will give a talk or someone will share their testimony during this time.
Lights Out
After some wind-down time spent hanging out and getting ready for bed, everyone hits the sack for the night. If you are an adult camper with your little scamper, it’s your bedtime too! You are a camper, just like your kiddo.
Frequently asked questions
-
All adult campers are required to submit the original copy of their criminal record check with vulnerable sector check. This must have been issued no later than January of the previous year. This is absolutely mandatory and must be submitted before the deadline of June 1. This is a simple process but it does take time. You’ll need to go to your local police station and ask for a Criminal Record Check with the Vulnerable Sector cleared. This may come with a fee (which you will need to cover), then it may take several weeks to process and you will need to pick up. Please mail the original to Gull Lake Centre, Site 1, Box 6, RR 3 Lacombe, AB T4L 2N3 or drop off at camp.
