Camp Koolaree Celebrated its 90th anniversary

Over the past nine decades, Koolaree has served youth and families from across the West Kootenay by providing a safe, sustainable, and affordable summer camp experience. Gala organizers say their goals are to provide a fun and educational meeting for the community and help raise money to purchase a boat for the water-only-access camp.

“Most of all, we want to get people excited about the 2022 summer camp season,” says Nicole Cameron, a member of Koolaree’s board. “By supporting Koolaree, you are helping us continue to provide a fun and accessible camping experience for kids in your community for years to come.”
