I went here for the first time last year and it was the most amazing summer of my life! I met so many new people and got to try a bunch of exciting things. The out-trip was probably the highlight of the week for me...pretty awesome experience. I can't wait to go back again this summer. The staff are pretty cool and fun and the bunks made me feel just like I was at home. The looked forward to the campfires and hot cocoa every night...seriously the best time of my life!!!
Absolutely incredible camp! Great staff and a great family atmosphere going on over there. Such a beautiful new location and they took full advantage of it. The facilities are top notch and the trails around the site are a lot of fun. You can tell they genuinely care for the kids and have an understanding of what it means to be a kid. On top of that they took in over 20 campers from high river last year free of charge! Can't say enough good things about Cadicasu.
I loved this camp, i want to become a C.I.T when i am older. I met new friends, and as other people would say camp is my home, i dont want to be anywhere else, i just want to stay here and enjoy the wonderful weather, we did daring stuff like, jump off a cliff, and hike 30 minutes to get to a site, nothing could be better, thats why i choose Camp Cadicasu!
Although I must admit, the facilities aren't as great as other camps' (Cadicasu doesn't have ziplining, a pool, horseback riding, etc.) that's not what really matters. The location of the camp is perfect, campers get the opportunity to visit nearby hidden areas for day and overnight trips that are pretty much unknown to the general public. I got to spend 2 nights sleeping right beside a beautiful lake in the middle of nowhere surrounded by mountains, and even got to climb a mountain! I've never even heard of that lake or the area, and this is the case with many of the places I visited while at Cadicasu, they're beautiful and unknown to most. It's obvious the staff is very knowledgeable about the area. I also made many great friends. The staff was fun and outgoing, and obviously loved working there. And don't even get me started on the food, it was delicious! I loved spending a week at Cadicasu!
This camp has a hidden religious agenda. You wouldn't know it from the website but my daughter was forced to take communion while a priest visited the campers on the second last day. She was told that if she read a prayer that they had on paper and was not "Catholic" that "God was going to be very angry."Hard to believe this happening at a public camp! Apart from that the camp facilities are a bit run down and the staff were not very friendly. Camp Chief Hector is a way better camp.
My daughters went to Camp Cadicasu for the first time. They both had an amazing time and couldn't wait to go back next year. They met new friends and did activities they hadn't tried before. They had a fantastic time and loved all the camp leaders.
There's not a day that goes by when i don't think about camp cadicasu. i used to hate going to summer camps but now i love to because camp cadicasu changed that. it's the best camp i've ever been to.
