Looking beyond Your Summer

Although our main focus is the summer season, Camp Nakamun seeks to build program and connection throughout of the year-round months as well. Here you will find other ways to connect with the camp community.

SEPTEMBER TO JUNE

Year-round, we host all sorts of groups. There are also a few key events that we host and program for our community.

Look below to check out some of the events we host each year.

Please note: if you are looking for Family Camps, including our Single Mothers Family Camp, those can be found on our Summer Camps page.

    • Event Details

    Our Taste of Nakamun event has been happening every June for the past decade and it has seen many changes throughout its existence.

    We wanted an opportunity for campers, parents, families, and volunteers to come to camp before the summer begins and become familiar with our site, our activities, our staff, and just some of the logistics of summer camp. Taste of Nakamun gives you the opportunity to practice before your big week!

    • See how long it actually takes to drive here!
    • See how high the zipline tower is in person, and how the equipment actually feels to wear.
    • See what kind of accommodations your kids will be sleeping in during their stay, and where the closest bathrooms are.
    • See where you line up for food if you have dietary restrictions or allergies.
    • See the merch and coffee bar options to look forward to during drop-off and pick-up.

    We want you to feel comfortable and confident when you send your kid to camp. Come get a taste of what Nakamun has in store for your family this summer!

    This year, Taste of Nakamun will take place on June 8th, 2025 from 2:00pm – 7:00pm at Camp Nakamun.

    This is a free event to addend! Our activities will be up and running (weather permitted) all completely free of cost. This includes our zip line, climbing wall, king swing, archery/pea shooting range, barge rides, and swimming pool. We’ll have a concession with food and snacks to purchase, and our coffee bar and merch bar will be open and stocked.

    Bring your family to get a taste of what Nakamun is like in the summer!

    Register for Winter Youth Retreat today!

    We are so excited to host our annual youth retreat January 3rd-5th! Here’s some information on the event and how to register:

    Winter Youth Retreat is designed to give youth groups the opportunity to get away from regular stresses and distractions, spend time laughing and growing with each other, and deepen their relationships with God. The event will begin on January 3rd at 6:30pm and will end on the 5th at 2pm.

    During the weekend there will be hang out time, winter activities, chapel sessions, worship, games, and lots of tasty food. This year, we’re excited to have Josh Ginn from St. Albert Alliance as our speaker for the event!

    As this event is for youth groups, we will not be accepting individual registrations. If you are currently in grade 7-12 and are interested in this event, we encourage you to reach out to a local church with a youth group and encourage them to attend!

    Cost for this event is $110 +GST for students, and $50 +GST for leaders (age 18+). This includes accommodations for two nights, 5 meals, 2 snacks, and access to the entire event program! We keep this cost as low as we possibly can because we don’t want it to be a barrier for youths to attend. We do not provide supervision, so we require groups to provide a minimum ratio of 1 leader per 8 students to attend.

    Finally, this event fills up fast! Registration will be open until December 9th, or until it’s full so get your registration in quick! When registering your group, please do not overestimate how many youth will attend! We can usually be flexible with adding a few more beds, and would far rather do that than end up with less people than expected. This helps us get as many youths here as possible!

    Once you register Tiffany will reach out to you. If you have any further questions about the event, email tiffany@campnakamun.com

Through the weekend there will also be a ton of free time to play board games, engage with the community, drink tasty coffee, read a book, or do whatever you need to just relax.
    Registration for this event is open! The cost for this event is $110 +GST per young adult, and we are offering deals to group registrations:
    A group of 4 people will get 1 registration for FREE! A group of 20 will receive 2 free registrations, and a group of 30 will receive 3 free registrations!
    We encourage you to take advantage of these group rates! If you aren’t a part of a young adults group, invite 3 other friends and split the cost! This is a great opportunity to spend time with each other and meet plenty of new people!
    Registration will close on January 6th, or when the event fills. If you have any questions, you can email tiffany@campnakamun.com or send us a message on social media!
