CAMP CADICASU
The past few years have presented many challenges to the many families and friends of Camp Cadicasu. It has been a time when we have experienced closing the camp down for not just one, but two successive summers while construction was being completed on the new facilities in Kananaskis. We had many difficult construction issues to deal with that presented us with many tough decisions,that in the end necessitated closing the camp for the summer.
However, that was then, and this is now!
In the summer of 2010, we are very excited about the re-opening of Camp Cadicasu for a full seasonal camp operation for the children and youth in the Calgary area. We invite you to register for camp as soon as possible. Camp Cadicasu will contiue to provide a sense of self worth and spirituality in the Catholic tradition from experiences in a natural outdoor environment wherein we endeavor to open people’s eyes to themselves, to others and to the world around them!
Everyone's welcome at the Camp Cadicasu
We are inclusive. And that's not just talk. We live that philosophy by welcoming children and youth regardless of race, religion, socioeconomic status. Camp Cadicasu is committed to coeducation, providing opportunities for boys and girls to grow together.
Nature is in our nature
When kids get to learn how beautiful their world is--they can make it even better.
We emphasize fun ways to explore nature and learn how to protect it. Whether in the inner city or in a camp, the environment provides a perfect laboratory for discovery, curiosity, compassion and concern. Youth are at their best when they can embrace these traits.
Kids can change the world. It is our goal to show them how to begin.

We need your help!!!
I know we are nearing the end of the year and you may be looking for some last minute tax receipts to push you over the top in your charity giving!!!
Unfortunate circumstances caused us to not open as planned this past summer due to some construction problems.
With the delays, we lost the revenues for the summer and it has caused us some really significant issues related to keeping the camp going until we can open next summer…… which, be very confident will happen!!!!
However, I write to you today to ask if you have any spare change at all….
Even a donation of $25.00 will help us, because collectively, it will add up!!!
We can issue tax receipts, so your donation will not go unrecognized by any means.
