The Lions Youth Camp has been developed over the years to provide facilities for youth groups to enjoy the outdoors and the fellowship that this brings. Our objective is to enable children of all ages to use the Camp at a cost that ensures that the largest number of children may participate regardless of financial means.

To this end the Camp is run as a non-profit enterprise and is financially supported in three ways:

• by fees charged to groups using the facility,
• by donations received from Lions Clubs and others
• and by donated labour and materials in maintaining the Camp. These are provided by individual Lions and by some very generous sponsors.

The Camp is located a few kilometers east of Cremona, Alberta on approx. 20 acres of woodland on the banks of Dog Pound Creek. It is easily found and accessible.

The Camp operates year-round and is supported by the Lions Clubs of District C-2 of Lions International located in Central and South Alberta.
