Pioneer 13 Day Camp

Pioneer (14-15Y) campers come to camp for a 13-day session and stay in yurts near Deer Lodge (Mid-camp). Campers will learn about teamwork, leadership, responsibility, and develop personal strengths and self-confidence. Campers will participate in a variety of camp activities such as games, arts and crafts, archery, climbing and more.

These campers will participate in 7 days (total) of hiking or canoeing. These days are broken down into a day trip, and the longer backcountry expedition. These experiences give opportunities for campers to focus on developing leadership and outdoor living skills, as well as backcountry travel. Pioneer campers will be staying in a yurt near midcamp and will be based out of Hector Lodge. 

Campers must reach this age before December 31st, 2025. 

All overnight camps start at 2:00pm on the first day and end at 11:00am on the last day. Bussing to and from Shane Homes YMCA in Calgary will be available.
