Kimberley Camps 2026

Welcome to Camp Odyssey in Kimberley!

At Camp Odyssey, we believe in nurturing connections with nature at an early age. We offer week-long and single-day camps during the spring and summer months, as well as Spirit Rock Climbing Center Pro-D day camps throughout the SD6 school year. The program offers a safe, structured, and fun outdoor environment for children of various ages.

 

2026 Updates

We’re making a few thoughtful changes to Camp Odyssey for the 2026 season! We’re returning to our roots by focusing on longer walks and more immersive adventures for our Happy Hikers (ages 8-11). Campers can expect to spend their days exploring new places, building confidence on the trail, and enjoying the journey as much as the destination.

To support these changes, we’ve adjusted our age groups and added an extra week of camp for our Nearby Naturalists (ages 5-8). This means more opportunities for kids who thrive on shorter excursions, while still making it possible for siblings to attend camp together.

 

Age Groups

Nearby Naturalists is our younger group, designed for kids 5-8 years old who don’t want to hike quite as far. We walk approx. 1-3km per day, visiting four different locations each week while leaving plenty of time for exploring, games and crafting.

Happy Hikers is heading back to its roots as the original Camp Odyssey group. The 8-11-year-olds will walk further and explore deeper across five different natural areas around Kimberley. Happy Hikers can be expected to hike 3-5km per day with stops for group games, instructor-led activities and exploring. 

Avid Adventurers is our newest Camp Odyssey group, designed for responsible and keen pre-teens interested in day hikes and bushcraft projects. This group is for 10-13 year olds who have enjoyed their time in Happy Hikers and are ready for something more involved and challenging. 

Please contact kim@wildsight.ca to ask questions about camp or discuss group suitability.

 

Open for Registration

Pro-D Day Camps

Wildsight Kimberley Cranbrook is partnering with Spirit Rock Climbing Center for another season of joint Pro-D Day camp this school year. The combo camp will have your kids climbing walls and trees in the same day!

Young adventurers will spend the morning inside rock climbing, then head outside for an afternoon of forest fun in Lois Creek. Working together, Spirit Rock and Wildsight staff will lead the group through practical skills, group games, and of course free play.
