Welcome to Wynchemna!
Have you ever dreamed of visiting Canada’s beautiful Rocky Mountains? How about making friends from around the world? Do you have the travel bug? Want to experience an unforgettable summer of fun and adventure?
Wynchemna offers students the summer experience of a lifetime!
Students in both Calgary and Vancouver camps attend morning lessons in English or French with a certified language teacher. Class sizes are small, averaging 1 teacher per 8 students. Afternoons and evenings are spent enjoying a wide range of recreational activities such as canoeing, kayaking, rock climbing, ice skating, roller skating, learning to cook international cuisines, and more! Students also spend a week camping in the Rocky Mountains or on Vancouver Island, where they have the chance to hike up a mountain, to swim in a natural hot spring, to walk on a glacier, to go horseback riding, to gaze at the Northern Lights, to go whale watching, to explore caves, to zip-line through the tree-tops, and sometimes to photograph a bear!
Wynchemna welcomes international and Canadian students for 3, 4, or 5 weeks every summer.

History
In 1995, Wynchemna ran its first summer program. 25 students from Germany came to Canada to experience Wynchemna's first-ever summer camp. Since then, hundreds of students, ages 10 - 23, have traveled from across Canada and from around the world to participate in Wynchemna summer camps, in both Calgary and Vancouver.
Road Trip
2010 marks Wynchemna's 15th Anniversary. In celebration, Wynchemna introduced an exciting new 5-week camp. Students start in Canada, travel and camp through Canada’s Rocky Mountain National Parks, and finish in Vancouver.
