Forest Fire Update

For over 65 years, we have offered unique spring and summer camp experiences in Saskatchewan’s pristine wilderness to youth seeking adventure in nature. Today we urgently need your help to restore camp after the devastating Shoe Fire swept through our property in May 2025, destroying cherished spaces where young people learned, grew, and connected with nature. Please consider making a donation, big or small, to help us restore our property and equipment.

We are confident in our ability to run safe and enjoyable summer programs within the green area of our camp which was spared from the fire. We await direction from the province on timelines for the reopening of highways to our camp. Stay tuned for updates on impacts to summer programs.

Thank you for standing with us. Your support means more than words can express!

It's time to introduce our other co-director for Summer 2025, Sarah Hounjet!

Hello!
My name is Sarah Hounjet, and I’ve been coming to camp for 14 years. 9 as a camper, 3 on staff, and entering my second year as director. I’ve loved every minute of it.
Throughout the years, I’ve worked in various roles and pursued some education, but no matter where life has taken me, I’ve always found my way back to camp each summer.
Bosco holds a truly special place in my heart, and I’m so excited to return and bring the Bosco spirit full tilt! I can’t wait to make new memories with everyone as we navigate and embrace our “same but different” camps. Here to another unforgettable year.

Regardless of uncertain times, we continue to look forward to this summer and the adventures waiting to be had. With that in mind let us introduce 1 of our 2 incredible directors, Grace Hardy.

Hi, I'm Grace, one of the directors for Bosco 2025! I first came to camp in 2013 and completed ALE in 2016. After three years on staff, I followed my love of the outdoors to the TRU Adventure Studies program, eventually becoming a raft guide in Canmore and joining ski patrol at Lake Louise. In 2023, an injury led me to shift gears. I continued working in the ski patrol infirmary and later drove buses for the rafting company. I've since returned to Lloydminster, where I've been nannying, working as a trainer for the junior B team, volunteering at our local ski resort, and completing the Canadian Ski Patrol course. After six years away, I'm thrilled to be back at Bosco, the place where my love of the outdoors truly began.
