About US
HiStory
Camp Meywasin was founded by a group of Scouters from Camp Woods. These Scouters, known as The Order of the Grey Goose, came from all parts of Alberta. In 1943 they toured Lake Wabamun by canoe. Camp Meywasin opened in 1945 as an "OPEN CAMP" for Scouts from the north half of Alberta (Red Deer North). The Order of the Grey Goose was incorporated in 1945/06/07 as non-profit.
Then in 1968/01/01 the MCSA (Meywasin Community Service Association) was incorporated as charity to operate the camp which was then opened to any organized youth group. In 1945 the camp was incorporated under the Societies Act, with the aim of "promoting fellowship though outdoor camping" for low income organized youth groups.
Camp Meywasin is subsidized by volunteer service and fundraising. Our purpose is to provide facilities to ensure that all children and youth are provided with the opportunity to enjoy the outdoor camping experience.
The volunteers of the Meywasin Community Service Association are here to provide youth groups with a subsidized camping experience. Without our hard working volunteers, maintaining the camp and fundraising, we would not be able to offer this affordable camp. If you are interested in joining us on our quest to promote fellowship through outdoor camping “please contact us for volunteer/membership information.
