Our camp is located in Banff, Canada and it is suitable for boys and girls ages 10 to 17.
Our summer camp begins and ends at our basecamp in Canmore, AB. We take our campers on awesome and fun adventures exploring the jaw-dropping views of the two most beautiful National Parks in Canada; Banff and Jasper. Beyond the fun and fresh air, Canadian Rockids teaches campers how to take calculated risks within our physical and mental limits, how to enjoy and respect mother nature to stay active and improve overall well-being and develop teamwork and leadership skills to become the next generation of world class leaders.
