Rising Costs Shouldn’t Cancel Summer: Overnight Camp Spaces Still Available for Edmonton Kids

As families across Alberta continue to feel the pressure of rising living costs, The Salvation Army is giving hope to parents that every child can experience summer camp, regardless of their family’s financial situation.

Registration is still open for overnight camps at Pine Lake Camp, with financial assistance available to help ensure cost isn’t a barrier to a summer filled with adventure, friendship, confidence, and lifelong memories.

“We know many families are facing impossible choices,” said Capt. Daniel Rowe. “No child should have to miss out on the opportunity to make lifelong memories because of financial hardship. If cost is a concern, we encourage families to reach out, we’re here to help.”

Located just east of Red Deer, The Salvation Army’s Pine Lake Camp offers children an unforgettable week of swimming, campfires, outdoor adventures, team activities, and new friendships in a safe and welcoming environment.

Edmonton families are encouraged to register. Up to 90% subsidies are available for families who need financial support.
