Our central building which includes the dining hall, kitchen, bathrooms and 11 hotel rooms was constructed in 2016.  Its spacious design will suit the needs of any group large or small!  The dining hall will accommodate 225 people and is equipped with rectangular tables and chairs.  The dining hall also includes the washrooms with showers.  The modern kitchen facilities have all you will need host any event!  The kitchen is equipped with a microwave, walk in cooler, 2 stand-alone coolers, 2 upright freezers, gas griddle, gas range, electric range as well as kitchenware, tableware and utensils for the use of renters.  The dining hall is home to a small stage as well as a sound system that can be utilized by the renter.

We have two summer buildings that are furnished with bunk bed frames and mattresses.  The buildings are typically utilized for large groups (ex: school groups and summer camps) but could also be used to accommodate families or small groups.

We have the beautiful Holy Eucharist Catholic Church, which was moved from Pelly, Saskatchewan to its new home at St. Michael’s Camp in 2007.  The wooden pews are stacked with Ukrainian Catholic Liturgical Books as well as Hymn Books to be used for any services held.

We have a private dock which can be used to enter the water on a canoe or kayak, however the shallow, treed area is not suitable for boat launching or swimming.

We have 3 canoes along with kayaks and paddleboards that can be rented by groups using the facility.    We also have an asphalt surfaced, enclosed tennis court for recreational use.  In the centre of camp is a fire pit area that can be used by rental groups.  Firewood will be provided.
