OUR PAST:
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. 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 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:
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. With renewed efforts for the 2018 and 2019 camp seasons, 170-200 youth between the ages of six and seventeen were welcomed and invited to grow in their faith while creating lasting memories with their friends. With your help, we are reflecting on current practices, responding to changing ministry needs, and changing the way we run. All to ensure a future for the next generation of faith and fun at Camp Lemieux.

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.

WE CANNOT TURN TO OUR FUTURE WITHOUT YOU!
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
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. A higher number of campers will in turn generate the revenue for our future administration and capital costs.
