Accommodations and Itinerary

---

Cypress Hills Registration Home Instructors

Accommodations will be provided at Camp Harding Bible Camp.  The Camp is a wonderful balance of rustic and modern.  Food and cooking is provided, eating and group activities will occur in the large mess/meeting hall.

 The cabins are relatively small but will sleep 2 to 6 participants in ranch style bunk beds, all have electricity.  Some cabin sharing may be necessary depending upon special needs and numbers.

The camp is located within the Saskatchewan Cypress Hills Park, among the tall whispering lodge pole pines.  Deer, moose and other wildlife is regularly often seen right in camp.

The Cypress Hills Area is still wonderfully primitive, but there is a paved road to the Park and Camp Harding.  Some of the roads we will travel are 4 wheel drive when wet, so changes to the tours may have to be made in the event of inclement weather.  The good news is that we always have a plan B which will be equally interesting.
