Junior Boys is a camp tailored to the interests and needs of boys aged 9-11. Archery, (air) riflery, horsemanship and riding, manly crafts, outdoor skills, mystery block, camp-out on the land, man tracker and water regatta are a few of the adventures that we use to introduce boys to the great adventure of the Christian life. Bible talks, worship, skits, silly campfire songs and all the rambunctious activities are purposefully planned to support and help boys understand the overall spiritual theme of the week. Boys will get dirty and may come home with a duffle bag of mostly clean clothes and a few REALLY filthy clothes (The pool is chlorinated, however!).

Our staff love this camp and the young men in our care and take their personal and spiritual development very seriously. We strive to love each boy in his uniqueness and show them that becoming a man should be a balance of increased responsibilities and also fun.

• Location:  Pioneer Lodge, Sundre

“Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.” 1 Corinthians 16:13

This eleven day camp (ages 12-17) connects you as a growing young man with inspiring older men, encouraging you at this critical time in your life. You will learn many outdoor skills leading up to a four or five day out trip.

• Location:  Pioneer Ranch, Rocky Mountain House
• 12 year olds have their out trip selected for them
• 13 year olds will go on a backpacking out trip
• 14-17 year olds will be able to choose their own out trip from hiking, canoeing or riding

You will play hard, work hard and learn a lot during these two weeks at APC! More importantly however, you will gain wisdom and guidance from your peers and leaders on how to be better men, modelled after the greatest man of all – Jesus. Commit these eleven days to engaging in new skills and activities all the while exploring the man you want to become. There is no doubt that you will be transformed and leave a better man!
