Accommodations
|
Due to the forest fires of 2017, the Waterton Lions Leadership Camp is now being temporarily hosted at the Island Lake Retreat Center. Students will share the two main floor dormitories and central washrooms, as well as a kitchen and beautiful outdoor areas.
Most Camp activities will take place outside so students should check the packing list below for all the supplies they need to bring. All meals and snacks will be provided by the camp and students cannot keep any food in their dorm rooms or backpack due to the bear population that lives near the camp. Any specialty food items students bring will need to be stored in the camp kitchen. As well, if you have special dietary needs please be sure to make note of them on your medical form. |
