Each of our weeks is a little different but they all follow a similar schedule. We’ll start the day off with Breakfast at 8:00am. Morning worship will help us get the day off to the right start! Worship is followed by cabin or small group time, allowing time for reflection and Bible Study. Groups will move into an activity just before heading off to Lunch served at 12:00pm. The afternoon is a combination of scheduled activities and free time, including time at the beach! Then off to dinner at 5:30pm. Evening activities vary each day, but there’s never a dull moment and you’ll have a blast each day!
Each camp session has created their own policy regarding cell phone usage while at Lake Louise. Please refer to the Welcome Letter that you will receive before camp for more specific information. In general, campers may have their cell phones, but we leave it to their Counselor’s and Dean’s discretion to determine if it is becoming a distraction or hindrance to fully experiencing all that God has for them during their week of camp. Just for your information, Lake Louise is in an area where cell phone and internet service is extremely limited.
We understand that parents and campers may feel reassured by having this method of communication, but ask that as much as possible, cell phone usage be at a minimum and only during approved free time.
Generally, we advise parents/caregivers and other family members not to visit during the week simply because it will take their camper away from the activities and programs that make the week so unforgettable.
Lake Louise is happy to provide a tour of our camp facilities by one of our professional staff. Please call our office to arrange a date and time for your personalized tour.
Being accredited by the American Camp Association indicates that Lake Louise Summer Camp meets or exceeds industry-accepted and government recognized standards and best practices for our summer camp programs, facilities and staff.
