The ultimate list of sleep away camps around Edmonton

I grew up going to sleep away camp every summer at Sylvan Lake. There were many sleep away camps at Sylvan Lake at that time. I started off with going for one week at 6 yrs old and eventually worked my way up to being a camp counsellor. Some of my most favourite summer memories come from camp.

Sleeping in a cabin, camp fires, camp songs, shopping at the tuck shop (read what that’s all about here) and one year I won the award for being the most water logged because I was the first one in the water and the last one out. We canoed across Sylvan Lake with a reward of ice cream from The Big Moo to celebrate and it’s where I learnt how to swim. If it was still around today, I would offer my children the chance to go as well.
