Countdown to Camp Bonaventure!

FOUR Times The Fun!

Between Friends Camp Bonaventure Calgary is beyond excited to be back at Sandy Beach Park and Thorncliffe Greenview Community Association. New in 2026, we will be offering a 3rd location at Willow Ridge Community Association offering the same camp experience with even more FUN!

Between Friends Camp Bonaventure Red Deer has outgrown our previous space, and we’re excited to welcome you, this summer, to our new site at Gaetz Memorial United Church. Now with more room for friendships, FUN and fresh air!

Get ready for an incredible summer filled with laughter, adventure, and unforgettable moments. We’re bringing our unique blend of friendship, fun, and community closer to you. We can’t wait to connect with old friends, meet new ones, all while creating memories that will hopefully last a lifetime.

Age Groups

Campers are grouped to spark friendships and great social experiences, with activities adapted for all abilities so everyone can have fun, feel confident, and grow.

Ratios

Camp Bonaventure can accommodate campers with a 1:2 to 1:6 ratio with most groups organized into a 1:4 program leader to camper ratio. We use information collected on participant profiles to assist us in structuring ratios within our groups and in providing additional volunteer support as required. 

If your camper requires a 1:1 support ratio, they are welcome to attend camp with their private support aide. If you are unsure if your camper will require a private support aide, please contact our Office Team at info@betweenfriends.ab.ca

Camp Bonaventure Parent

We were thrilled to have the opportunity to have our son build relationships and experience a Summer Camp environment in the centre of the City. He was safe and enjoyed fantastic summer experiences whilst making new friends, all in the trust-worthy and compassionate hands of the great staff! This program is a God-send!!

Camp Bonaventure Parent

My son will be turning 20 this fall and he has attended Camp Bonaventure since he was 6 years old. Summer Camp is always something he looks forward to each year. The weekly planned schedules offer a variety of programming activities. The staff are engaged and supportive of every camper’s unique needs.
