Summer 2025 Adventure Trips

Experience camp in a new way!

Embark on an adventure you’ll never forget!
Hike, canoe, fish, rock climb, try geocaching, and so much more!
Bring a friend and discover the incredible Peace Region backcountry!

Please note that all Adventure Trip participants will be sleeping in tents, cooking meals over the fire, and spending most of their time outdoors, fully immersed in nature. You’ll experience everything the wilderness has to offer, all while being supported and supervised by our experienced and skilled staff. Be sure to pack appropriately for this exciting outdoor adventure!

What is Adventure Trips?

Adventure Trips is perfect for those who want to experience a more “traditional” style of camping. Think meals cooked over the fire, sleeping in tents or lean-to shelters, and traveling to your campsite by foot or canoe… and that’s just the beginning!
Depending on the trip, you might spend the night at our main site or deep in the wilderness. Some trips will have you staying at the same campsite each night, while others will take you on a journey where you set up camp at a new spot every day.

Each trip is led by a trained and qualified guide, along with other camp staff, and has had a reconnaissance trip done before hand to ensure a safe trip. 
*Due to the nature of Adventure Trip programs we are unable to provide special food for different diets. Because of this, we’re unable to accept campers with specific food needs.*

Adventure Camps for 2026 will be dependent on volunteer availability. Please contact the Camp Office for more information for these camps.

Our camp staff will be reaching out to your camper before the trip to make sure they understand what kind of adventure they’ll be joining and that they’re excited for the experience. This is a great opportunity for us to answer any questions they might have and help them feel prepared and confident for the journey ahead!

Hiking is your chance to explore awesome trails, discover hidden spots in nature, and enjoy breathtaking views! It’s the perfect way to challenge yourself and have fun with friends while breathing in the fresh air. Every step you take is a new discovery—so grab your boots and get ready to hike!

Learning outdoor survival skills is your chance to master building shelters, starting fires, and finding your way in nature. It’s not just about surviving—it’s about thriving in the great outdoors! You’ll gain confidence, learn valuable skills, and have a blast with others while discovering what it takes to live off the land. Ready to become an outdoor expert? The wild is waiting!

Ready to hit the water? Canoeing is the perfect adventure for exploring lakes and rivers while having tons of fun! Paddle through calm waters, challenge yourself with rapids, and enjoy the peaceful nature around you. Grab a paddle and get ready for an unforgettable journey!

Registration Deadline

It’s always best to let us know as early as possible if you’ll be attending camp, so we can prepare properly. However, registration will close 5 days before each camp. This gives us time to prepare gear, food, and staff, and to connect with each camper to make sure they’re ready for the trip ahead.

In some cases, we may need to cancel a camp if there aren’t enough campers. Be sure to invite a friend so you can both join in on the adventure!

Can Parents Come on Trips?
In previous years, we’ve had parents join trips not just as participants, but also as leaders! If you’re interested, there will be some paperwork to complete.

Contact the office, and we’ll be happy to answer any questions and help you get started on joining this amazing adventure!

Does my camper need to have any special skills to come?
 

Trailblazer Camps: All you need is a love for adventure and a great attitude!

Pathfinder Camp: To join this camp, campers must have completed a Trailblazer Camp.

Our staff will teach campers the basic skills they’ll need before the trip starts and will help them build on those skills throughout the adventure. However, if your camper didn’t enjoy out-trips at Moberly Lake or family camping trips, this might not be the right program for them, as every night involves an out-trip.

Where do the campers sleep?
 

Your camper will be spending the nights in a tent, either at Moberly Lake or in the beautiful front/back country of the Peace River Region. This will be an exciting opportunity for them to experience camping in a more adventurous setting, surrounded by nature. They’ll have the chance to sleep under the stars, enjoy campfire meals, and fully immerse themselves in the great outdoors. Please make sure they’re ready for this authentic wilderness experience!

Meet our Full Time Team

Glenn and Shirley Rozsmann

We’re thrilled to welcome Glenn Rozsmann as Interim Director and back to the Peace River area.

Glenn is passionate about camp as a place where kids get to see God in action—through His beautiful creation and through the love and care shown by staff. He’s excited to use the outdoors as much as possible to introduce kids to Christ and to teach the truths of the Gospel, making full use of the incredible location and facilities God has blessed Camp Sagitawa with—for His glory and His will.

This season isn’t “just a job” for Glenn & Shirley, but a ministry God is clearly directing them to be part of. They may be familiar faces to many of us and in his younger years Glenn worked at Camp as a cabin leader, program director, and was involved in the board. Glenn brings both heart and hands-on experience to leadership development and creative growth in our camp ministry.

We are so blessed to have the Rozxmann’s on our team, allowing the Lord to use the gifts he has given them both for the work here at Camp Sagitawa.

Jocelyn Woodburne

Jocelyn is the Administrative Assistant at Camp Sagitawa and she will likely be the friendly voice on the phone or behind the office emails when you reach out to Camp Sagitawa—and the smiling face that greets you when you arrive at camp. And if she’s not in the office, you might find her enjoying the lake, lending a hand at archery or taking pictures!

Jocelyn is passionate about camping ministry. Having grown up attending a Christian camp for nearly a decade, she knows firsthand the foundation of faith that camp can foster in young people and her own experiences at camp are important seeds of her faith. Beyond faith, she recognizes the benefits of camp on child development, offering opportunities for social development, exploring nature, and other practical skills that are often lacking in today’s world and is excited about the opportunity to help provide these kinds of formative experiences for young people.

We are blessed to have her administrative abilities in helping camp run smoothly and care for the youth who come visit Camp Sagitawa this coming year.

Pippin
Pippin is our (unofficial) Head of Security.  You may spot him checking the property perimeter, searching staff for treats, or issuing trespassing citations to birds.  Despite his sometimes gruff demeanor he actually really likes people and is only upset that he can’t greet everyone who visits.

Volunteer for Projects

HOW DO I VOLUNTEER?

There are so many opportunities to volunteer, and so many who come and help us in one way or another. We appreciate all.

Some projects cannot be done while camp sessions are in process. Others can.Our Property Chair is responsible to manage camp property projects.

We may have 2-3 ongoing projects at a time. We have three thoughts regarding volunteers.

  • Volunteers may help with basic upkeep as needed – i.e. mowing lawns, stacking firewood, etc.
  • Volunteers may help with current projects – these are prioritized by the Property Committee.
  • Volunteers may offer to begin another project on the condition that they finish what they start and that they do it to camp standard. What is done well is safer and saves on maintenance in future years.

For each of the above, please let us know by contacting the office. We will either provide the information or pass you on to our Property Chair.
