About
Activities at camp include swimming, hiking, games, vespers, campfire
programs, great food, nature activities, sports, crafts, singing, etc.
In addition, teen camps include the activities of archery, wall
bouldering (on our low-level climbing structure), and a dance on the
last evening.
Each cabin has at least one counsellor who supervises the in-cabin
activities and sleeps there at night. During the day, the children are
divided into six family-like groups, each of which has two counsellors.
It is in these groups that the campers have GWG time (Growing With
God), do chores, and act as a team for activities. Meals are served in
the dining hall where the whole camp is together.
Most campers enjoy our food very much - we use a menu that follows
Canada's food guide and is prepared in a way that appeals to children.
(If your child has special dietary needs be sure to mention that on the
medical information sheet when you register.) We ask that campers do
not bring any junk food with them to camp. (Each camper gets tuck (a
reasonable portion of candy) every day, so their treat needs are met!)
Camp Shagabec is operated by The Camp Shagabec Committee, which is a
committee of Chinook Presbytery, of Saskatchewan Conference, of the
United Church of Canada. Camp Shagabec has been fully accredited by
both The Saskatchewan Camping Association and the United Church Camping
Standards.
We are a non-profit corporation and a registered charity, and we
welcome your donations! Registration fees are kept low thanks to the
generous donations of time, goods, and money given us by congregations,
UCW, and other groups and individuals throughout Southwestern
Saskatchewan. To ALL those who help us out, we extend a most sincere
"Thank You!"
