Grateful for your financial support...

Camp Lemieux is a registered charity (​#119013142RR0001​). While camper registration fees cover a portion of camper costs they do not cover operational and maintenance costs. Camp Lemieux would not be able to operate each season without the generous support of our community. PayPal Giving Fund Canada ensures that Camp Lemieux receives 100% of all donations made and that donors receive an emailed income tax receipt.

Our PAST

Welcome to Camp Lemieux
Camp Lemieux began in 1950 with a vision of Reverend Richard Lariviere to provide a summer camp for Catholic youth in the former Diocese of Gravelbourg. Camp Lemieux is located on the west shore of Lac Pelletier south of Swift Current, Saskatchewan.  As a Knights of Columbus sponsored camp, Camp Lemieux was lovingly run by the KofC for many years before leading the process of forming the inaugural Camp Lemieux Board in 2010 that now includes KofC representation with members-at-large. 
We nurture the faith of youth through a Catholic Christian community, participation in the sacraments, and new experiences in an outdoor setting. Our program has a balance of friends, fun, recreation, life skills and faith teachings. Campers are challenged to worship and love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and strength. 

Our PRESENT

Crossroads
Between 2012 and 2017 registrations at Camp Lemieux consistently fell below 100 campers per summer, with ever increasing reliance on sponsorship to attend camp. Our historical model of only employing summer staff is no longer sustainable. We also have an aging infrastructure that is in need of some tender love and care. In response to this need, the Camp Lemieux board made the bold decision to embarked on a journey of revitalization for Camp Lemieux and return us to our humble roots as the go to summer location and home away from home for your families.  With the hiring of an Executive Director and the renewed efforts of many of you, the 2018 and 2019 camp seasons saw our camper numbers slowly grow to approximately 200 per summer while we began the large task of updating our programs, facilities and offerings.​ With your help, we are reflecting on current practices, responding to changing ministry needs, and changing the way we run. Our strategies may change but our mission remains the same...all to ensure a future for the next generation of faith and fun at Camp Lemieux.

Our FUTURE

Sharing our Faith, Securing our Future
The Sharing our Faith - Securing our Future campaign has been established to increase Camp Lemieux’s capacity ensuring our presence for future generations of youth. This campaign will focus on the following goals until the summer of 2020.​
  1. Provide year-round formation opportunities for youth and young adults
  2. Strengthen relationships with parishes and communities served by Camp Lemieux
  3. Camper Sponsorship
  4. Grow to full capacity and registrations of 300+ youth per summer​
  5. Capital plan to grow and maintain the camp for future generations.​

Sharing our Faith, Securing our Future 2
How Can YOU Help Us Do God's Work?
The Sharing our Faith - Securing our Future campaign is looking to secure $100,000 by December 2020. These funds will allow Camp Lemieux to maximize its capacity as a Catholic Camp and fill each of our camp offerings EVERY summer.  An increased number of campers will in turn generate additional revenue for our future administration and capital costs.
