Our Goals

Raising $14.5 million to invest in the future of Camp Chief Hector YMCA

Continuing the Legacy of Camp

Camp Chief Hector is beloved by thousands upon thousands of Albertans who have paddled, climbed and hiked there.

 

Ask just about anyone who grew up in Calgary about Camp and you’ll surely hear just how special the experience was. Through building connections with many generations of children, Camp has and continues to teach problem-solving and resilience, leadership and independence, and created positive, character-building memories, stories and joy.

As we approach the hundredth anniversary of this special place, we are looking forward to the decades ahead and have developed a plan to ensure Camp can continue to provide transformative experiences for thousands more children each year.
