Camp Information

Camp Odyssey in Cranbrook is based out of the Cranbrook Alliance Church. Days will be spent in the Cranbrook Community Forest, with possible visits to the splash park and Joseph Creek. Indoor washroom facilities may not be available every day and campers will learn how to use bush bathrooms.

Happy Hikers, ages 7-12
This group is perfect for keen walkers who want to explore a little further away from “home base”. This group can expect to walk approx. 4-6 km each day, with plenty of stops for exploring and activities.

Nearby Naturalists, ages 5-8
This group will stay closer to “home base”, walking significantly less and doing more crafts and games at and around the church.
