Save the Date: Camp Oselia & Camp St. Basil Together Again This Summer
Published on: February 4, 2026

The Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Edmonton is pleased to announce that Camp Oselia and Camp St. Basil will once again join together to offer a united faith-based summer camp for children and youth at beautiful Pigeon Lake, Alberta.

Following the success of last year’s collaboration, this summer’s camp will continue to combine the strengths of both camps into one rich experience rooted in Ukrainian Catholic faith, community, and outdoor fun.

Camp Dates and Location

  • Dates: June 28 – July 11, 2026

  • Age: 7-14

  • Location: Camp St. Basil’s, Pigeon Lake, operated in partnership with the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Edmonton

Families will be able to choose camp sessions within this period (full schedule and age groups will be posted with the registration launch).

What Makes Camp Oselia & Camp St. Basil Special

This united camp offers more than just summer activities; it is a place where faith, friendship, and adventure come together.

  • Faith at the centre. Daily prayer, catechism, and participation in the sacraments help campers grow in their relationship with God in an engaging and age-appropriate way.

  • Life in God’s creation. Set on the shores of Pigeon Lake, the camp provides opportunities for swimming, games, sports, nature walks, campfires, and quiet reflection in a beautiful natural setting.

  • Ukrainian Catholic tradition. Children experience the richness of Byzantine worship, Ukrainian culture, and community life, while campers of all backgrounds are warmly welcomed.

  • Safe and supportive environment. Trained staff, clear supervision, and family-oriented policies ensure that campers are cared for in both body and soul.

Registration Opening Soon
