Camp He Ho Ha

Camp He Ho Ha Camp HeHoHa exists to provide safe and rewarding recreational opportunities for children and adults and the construction of a Medical Centre by Mr. & Mrs.

In the late 1950's, it was evident that there was a need for a recreational facility for people with disabilities. The Kiwanis Club of South Edmonton strongly supported the concept and spearheaded the project. A committee of Kiwanis members consisting of Bob Sewell, Dr. Ken Gordon, Walter Bates and Norm McBeth was formed to select a permanent site and to establish a camp especially suited to meet

the needs of children with mental and physical disabilities. In 1959, these committee members approached the Provincial Government with their project. It was approved in principle, and the Government directed them to a 107acre parcel of property located on Lake Isle that was accessible by boat only. This site was selected, and lease arrangements with the Department of Lands and Forests was drawn up. A plan was developed to attract other groups that were involved in work with people with disabilities to join in the effort to achieve the goal of the Kiwanis Club. The Alberta Council consisted of representatives from the Kiwanis Club of South Edmonton, the Associated Canadian Travelers Club of Edmonton, the Diabetic Association, and the Edmonton Cerebral Palsy Association. These organizations contributed varying amounts of money to get the project started, and with donation of buildings from Imperial Oil Ltd. Muttart, the Camp commenced operation in 1960. The Camp became an instant success! Today Camp He Ho Ha provides recreational opportunities not only for children with disabilities, but also for adults of all ages with every type and degree of disabilities. Camp He Ho Ha has emerged as a first-class facility providing first-class services. In the last 50 years, it has come a long way! It has grown from the old oilfield camp bunkhouses to a very modern facility consisting of 24 hotel-style rooms, 8 hostels, beautiful meeting rooms, and a wonderful dining room where delicious home-cooked meals are served. It boasts of an incredible wheelchair accessible indoor swimming pool, an 18 hole mini-golf course, a "state of the art" 3-sided 40 foot climbing wall, a high ropes course, a low wheelchair accessible ropes course, and much more.

❄️ Winter’s Embrace at Camp He Ho Ha ❄️

As the snow blankets our campgrounds and the quiet settles in, we can’t help but feel a little extra longing for the laughter and energy of our campers. The winter months remind us of the memories we’ve created together, and how much we miss the vibrant spirit each of you brings to our camp.

But with every snowflake that falls, we’re reminded that spring is just around the corner—a time of renewal, growth, and the joy of welcoming everyone back to our camp family. 🌱💛

We can’t wait for the warmth of spring to fill our grounds once again, to create new memories, and to share in the adventures that await us. Until then, we’re holding on to the love and connection we’ve built—looking forward to the day we can all be together again.

Are you as excited for spring as we are?

❄️ Our camp may be hibernating under a blanket of snow, but the sunshine reminds us that summer fun is just around the corner! 🌞
