My daughter loved this camp! Located centrally in Calgary with very friendly and caring staff, who took time to make sure kids were having a great experience. I loved how the whole camp week was outdoors, exploring, playing, learning. Will definitely sign my daughter next year again! (As per her request)

YMCA Camp Riveredge is the perfect outdoor summer camp, located in the heart of Calgary. What sets Camp Riveredge apart is the engaging and wonderful staff team and the exciting programs on site. With activities like the challenge course, low ropes, archery, the animal game, shelter building and the 2 speciality programs (Art and Bike Camp), there is something for everyone at Riveredge. Throughout the year, school bookings get to experience these wonderful programs as well as have a hands on approach to learning about the environment.

YMCA Camp Riveredge is an amazing outdoor experience right in the middle of Calgary! They have programs for children aged 5-16 and even a bike camp too!!

I volunteered with my daughter's grade 6 class for a 4-day day camp. What an AMAZING experience! The staff were phenomenal--you can tell they all love their jobs and care about the kids. So many fun team-building exercises and outdoor activities! Beautiful setting. And I was very impressed with the safety protocols. All 55 kids LOVED it and had a fantastic time! Thank you, Camp Riveredge!!!

For kids summer camps, the facilities need to improve. At minimum running water to wash hands before meals, and flush toilets. But this was not available; no running water and no flush toilets. To make things worst the porta-potties were disgustingly gross and unclean.
The instructors were good and energetic. Great program as well.
However the sanitary facilities need to improve.Christopher P.August 2019
Camp Riveredge is not just your usual summer camp. It is an extraordinary place where memories that will last a lifetime are made. All of the staff genuinely care for their campers and want to have an amazing day playing all sorts of awesome games, building forts and exploring the great outdoors with them. Their BIKE CAMP does some of the coolest things around Calgary.
