About Our Camp

Camp Assiniboia is located on the forested banks of the Assiniboine River near Headingley, 16 km SW of Winnipeg. This vibrant summer camp offers week long sessions for children and teens and adults. It also offers day camp for children. The low staff to camper ratio contributes to the family feeling of this exciting camp.  

Campers grow in body, mind and spirit through the activity program. Horsemanship, ropes course, crafts, drama, archery and swimming build strength and skill. Nature study encourages campers to appreciate and care for their environment. An age-appropriate Bible exploration program provides moral teaching and spiritual growth opportunities. Music is an important part of camp life. Staff teach campers a repertoire of original  Camps with Meaning songs, as well as some camp classics. Campers bond in their cabin groups throughout the week, and they get to know each other even better during the weekly campout in the forest.

At Camp, everyone is encouraged to participate, regardless of ability or skill-level. Activities are taught in a way which maximizes cooperation and minimizes competition. Campers with special needs are integrated into the program. Campers in Grades 1 to 3 are offered a half week experience as an intro to camp. Trained staff provide physical and emotional care for all campers. The food, prepared by a qualified Food Services Coordinator, is healthy and delicious. Financial support is available based upon need.

The camp is owned and operated by Mennonite Church Manitoba, and is open to all campers. It is also available for year round rental for groups such as families, churches, and schools of up to 150 persons. There are also facilities for small groups, such as seminars and youth groups of 10-20.
