Testimonials

“My camper was very excited to go to camp every day. She found something new every day that excited her about being outdoors. She made lots of great new friends and enjoyed her camp counselors. We were grateful for the opportunity, for the kind counselors and the safety we felt in going to the camp every day. We will definitely return!”

“My two boys came home each day raving about the day’s activities.”

“I love that my son is able to spend time outside and in nature. He especially loves the opportunity to go fishing. He always leave nice and tired which is a huge bonus!”

“If you’re a family who enjoys outdoor activities and being outdoors, this camp is a great option. It’s difficult to find camps that provide new experiences like fishing & horseback riding. My kids really enjoyed the experiences and especially the blob water toy!”

Meet one of the inhabitants of Millican Reserve. He's a Sphyrapicus nuchalis, a medium-sized woodpecker species measuring between 19 and 21 cm in length. Did you know that these birds can peck a tree more than 20 times in one second? So, the next time you're on the trails, keep your eyes (and ears open) to catch a glimpse of this bird in action. 🌳 🐦
