Lone Prairie Camp Reviews 

Sending my children to Lone Prairie Camp has been a great decision. Both have learned independence in being away from home for a week and I feel good about them being in a safe environment. They’v... Read full review

We found out about Lone Prairie Camp through our church who supports this camp. We chose Lone Prairie Camp over other camps as the price is great for a week of camp in a good location not too far from home. I especially love...

My son loved climbing the rock wall, zipping down the zip line, and of course the tubing behind the speed boat. There was even one night they got the kids out of bed for a midnight game of Mission Impossible. He talked about...

I had both a son attend one week and my daughter attend the week after. At first, I was worried they weren’t attending the same week so they might feel alone, but was quickly put at ease the minute I arrived and there were ...

My then 8-year-old girl went to camp and saw the zip line and said no way was she going down that. By the end of the week, I heard all about how she went down and how much fun it was. I could see how she grew in independence...

I love how the counselors have a zest for life! They show God’s love by taking care of our kids for a week and helping them grow in courage, knowledge, and understanding of the Bible through their summer theme, chapel, camp...

I am so glad they have a list of things to bring on their website, I found it very helpful. We needed pretty much everything they suggested. Your Bible, some bug spray, sunscreen, a hat, rubber boots, sneakers… those of co...

My kids have always had fun attending this camp. They tell me stories for weeks about the field games, campfires, singing in chapel, canoeing, beach volleyball, and awesome counselors. Wonderful memories were made and my kid...

When my kids were getting ready to go to Lone Prairie for the first time they were nervous but also really excited. They were really looking forward to being able to try out many new activities and es... Read full review

I had not been aware of Lone Prairie camp before the summer my kids began attending. I had met the director and his family and getting to know them set me more at ease with the idea of sending my kids to overnight camp for the...

My kids have loved the wilderness activities. They have really enjoyed learning about fire building and being able to cook a meal on their fire. One of the highlights is the canoeing. I get to hear close to weekly about how mu...

My kids have really enjoyed making new friends each year. They have loved getting to see camp friends each year. Last summer two of my kids were able to be in the same cabin as a friend and I loved seeing how their acquaintanc...

My kids loved learning wilderness skills like fire starting. They did a fire starting course a few years ago and were thrilled to get to practice this skills. They were introduced to sports they had not played before and encou...

The communication prior to camp was extensive. I would be happy if the amount of emails were decreased as it was easy to loose important messages in all the confirmations. I did however like that there was clarification on how...

My kids really wanted to take snacks to share with their cabin which turned out to be completely unnecessary. There is so much food, snacks, and tuck that they ended up bringing their snacks home with them at the end of the we...

If you’re considering Lone Prairie I would encourage you to give it a try! It is a wonderful camp that is affordable compared to many other options and had great facilities without losing the camp feel from high-end accommod...

Prior to moving to Edmonton, we lived in Fort McMurry where we did not have access to a local camp. As a result, when we moved to Edmonton, we did not take the ability to attend camp for granted! Our ... Read full review

We are so grateful for our previous church community in Edmonton that recognized and continues to support the integral ministry of LPC. Being part of that church community from 2007-2012, LPC was a natural fit for our family....

At LPC, kids are given options to try activities they may not otherwise have the opportunity to participate in. While my kids really enjoyed Mission Impossible (a late-night wide game), they also enjoyed activities such as tub...

Experiencing camp "life" together holds the opportunity to form and further develop friendships amongst campers. Not only do kids rekindle relationships they made from the previous year, they also meet new kids that are outs...

As campers, my kids made leaps in their faith journey during their time spent at camp. I feel that because kids can really be themselves, while they learn about Jesus and the gift of salvation, their hearts are really open to...

I know that the administration at Lone Prairie Camp does the utmost to ensure the safety of campers and staff. I try to volunteer as a cook for a week of the summer and need to go through a rigorous process to ensure that my ...

The packing list is quite inclusive, given that the weather can change from day to day at camp. An extra pair of flip-flops is never a bad idea, in case other footwear gets wet and needs a chance to dry out ( and they don't t...

LPC is a camp with Christ at its heart, and campers and leadership training as its ministry. LPC is not a camp that has the best of everything. The lake is not great, the bugs are real, and counsellors aren't perfect. But, I ...

My daughters thoroughly enjoyed this camp. They were both nervous their first time attending as they had never stayed at an overnight camp before. Right away the staff made them (and me) feel comforta... Read full review

I originally sent my kids to this camp because I had been a staff member there when I was a teenager. Our church is affiliated with this camp and I was familiar with the safety standards they adhere to which was a top priority...

My two daughters have varying interests so I appreciated the diversity of activities this camp offered. My one daughter loved trying out new physically challenging activities like the zipline and the climbing wall. I felt safe...

One highlight of camp for both my daughters was making new friends. They enjoyed getting to know kids they were already familiar with in a deeper and more meaningful way. The staff fostered an environment of inclusion within t...

My kids gained independence in a safe and supportive environment. They felt proud of themselves for being away from their parents overnight. They learned lifelong skills like how to deal with personalities they clash with. The...

From our first interaction at check-in with all the staff (including junior staff in training), there was a real warmth and genuineness to them. The staff right away learned, and used my kids' names. By pick-up day even the ki...

I thought I was pretty well packed for each child but, didn't realize how wet and dirty they can really get! This year I plan on packing extra shorts and towels for my daughter who loves to get messy. My kids loved having ...

I would definitely recommend this camp, it is big enough that it feels exciting to the kids but, small enough that everyone is known and welcomed. I would encourage other parents to reach out directly to the camp if they have ...

I am so thankful for my time at camp. I learned many important leadership skills. It also deepened my faith as I came to know Jesus in a real way. I spent so many summers at camp, it does not really... Read full review

The essence is all about the community that is formed every single summer. The bond among the staff is something unique. When you live every day with the same people for potentially four months you become very close. It is u...

There are many experiences where I was pushed out of my comfort zone at camp. Like the first time I drove the boat but first needed to figure out how to back a trailer into a lake. The zip line and climbing wall are a great ...

I still have many relationships with people I met at camp. Some of my closest friends were also staff summers that I was there. It is so unique of everyone living together for in some cases 4 straight months. Oddly every su...

I gained so many skills at camp both physical and interpersonal. I learned how to fix a tractor and install a sink. I learned to back up a trailer and how to roof a house. But more importantly than those, I learned how to l...

I have many things I could write here. But I will keep it to the main thing. I wouldn’t trade my time at camp for anything. Looking back I would definitely do things differently, especially in my last summer. But I learne...
