The High Prairie Wilderness Camp is on the move after nine years at a site southwest of High Prairie near the Little Smoky River.
The Christian youth camp has been ordered by provincial government to relocate, camp director Aaron Harbidge says.
“About one week after camp was over, we received a call notifying us that the property lines near the camp had been re-evaluated and our camp was on government land instead of the private deeded land that everyone thought the camp was located on,” says Harbidge.
“We had until Nov. 1 to move everything off the site.”
Camp structures and possessions were moved by the deadline.“Our staff took time off work to work together to move the camp buildings into storage for the winter.”
Harbidge and staff look forward to finding a new home.
“We are excited about building a new location next spring.”
