Description of Facilities

Sleeping accommodations range from cabins to teepees and are described in more detail below. For the most part, accommodations are shared: 2-4 person dorm-style rooms, 8-10 person teepees and 1-16 person cabin rooms. Anyone who wants more privacy is welcome to bring their own tent. A slide show of the Camp's facilities can be viewed here


As far as bathroom and shower facilities go, the Camp was renovated in 2010 so has lots of nice, clean washrooms and showers.

Note: there are no stores at or near the Camp so be sure to bring over everything you’ll need with you (camera, flashlight, batteries, diapers). We will send you a list of what to pack closer to the wedding date.

Bedding

There are a few rooms with bedding that we'll reserve for out of town guests, so most guests will need to bring their own sleeping bag and pillow. When you RSVP, we'll let you know where you'll be sleeping and bedding requirements. Don't worry if you don't have a sleeping bag: Mountain Equipment Co-op rents them. 

Craig Croft



This gorgeous 2 story building lies at the heart of the Fircom site.  There are 12 bedrooms, each with 3 beds. We'll have limited capacity to move beds around to make rooms of 2 or 4. We will primarily use this building for out of town guests because the Camp supplies bedding for these rooms. 



Teepees

Fircom has five prairie First Nation inspired teepees located throughout the site. Each tepee is large enough to accommodate up to 8-10 people on wooden sleep platforms are that built around a fire pit at the centre. Guests sleeping in teepees will need to bring their own bedding and a flashlight for night-time bathroom adventures to nearby buildings.  

Cabins


These classic cabins sleep up to 16 people in dormatory style bunk beds and will take you back to your childhood memories of summer camp. They have electricity but no bathrooms. 
Guests sleeping in cabins will need to bring their own bedding and a flashlight for night-time bathroom adventures to nearby buildings.


Tents


If none of the above facilities suite your fancy there is the option of bringing your own tent to set up on the site.  Please be sure to email us if you prefer to stay on your own and will be bringing a tent (the overnight fees will remain the same).
