Feb 24 & 25, North of Chetwynd

Level  1 – 4 (see page bottom)

BOOK EVENT

Cameron Lakes Lodge is an Outdoor Education Center owned by the School District just North of Moberly Lake. It is a stunning property on two small lakes surrounded by trails.

Saturday 1:00pm 

Join us at this beautiful location to celebrate winter by x-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing or winter hiking and then settle into the lodge for a delicious dinner, music and more. For those who like to watch winter from indoors we have Dreamers Macrame coming to do a macrame workshop in the lodge during the afternoon. 

Saturday night

Sleepovers are possible in the bunk style cabins. This means you bring your own sleeping bags and pillows and take yourself back to when you had a bunk sleepover at summer camp.

There are two bunk style cabins. One cabin will be available to rent on its own for a group of friends and the other will be up for grabs for anyone who needs a place to crash. Each cabin sleeps up to 20.

If a bunk style sleepover is not your idea of fun, grab a more private room in Hudson Hope at the Stillwater Inn. The hotel is just 18min from the Lake.

Sunday morning

Continental style breakfast will be served, and yoga will be practiced in the main lodge.

We will have electricity at the lodge but NO RUNNING WATER – this means you must use the newly renovated, high class outhouses.
