Church Groups
Youth Groups
We specialize in youth and will provide an atmosphere for them to be challenged spiritually, physically and socially! A youth
retreat at Salem Acres is a great opportunity for teens to deepen their relationship with God and with others in their community – these are the relationships that last a lifetime!
Family Camp
Bring everyone altogether by hosting a family camp! Whether you want to try a weekend or
a whole week in summer – we can help you create that experience that takes your church community to a whole new level! With activities geared towards kids and adults alike,
it is a time your church family will likely never forget!
Men's/Ladies Groups
Salem Acres has a variety of activities and meeting areas that are tailor-made for community building, and we are willing to
work directly with you to develop a weekend that will enhance the relationships in your home, church, and community life.
Pastors/Elders
We have all you will need to focus on the ministry of your church. Whether this is an area for reflective prayer time, team building, or meeting rooms to discuss planning and budgeting, we can help. Take a weekend to bring your team together and build them up so they can reach out for Christ in your congregation and community.
School Groups
We offer a unique location that allows us to partner with educators to provide a hands-on, outdoor education like no other! Our property, right on the banks of the Red Deer River, is a distinct location for kids to explore everything from dinosaurs to dragonflies! Teach about - geology, paleontology, bird/wildlife watching, water systems, plant life, or have some intense physical education with orienteering, canoeing, bouldering, or field sports. Whether you are looking to develop a structured learning module or have a fun sports day we would be happy to welcome your kids!
Custom Retreats
Are you a member of a group that would like to spend some quality time away from the hustle and bustle of life? If so, we would love to customize your time with us by helping to develop a program plan including things like meals, speakers, musicians, activities, experts, etc. If you can dream it – let's make it happen!
Weddings
Nothing says romantic like having the Red Deer River valley as a backdrop for your special day. Take a walk through fairy lights to a glowing campfire and spend the evening before your wedding with family and friends. We will work with you to create the indoor or outdoor wedding you have always dreamed of on a budget far less than you might think!
Reunions
There is no better way to reconnect than to spend a weekend hanging out. With activities for people of all ages, a reunion at Salem Acres will help your group to strengthen those
multi-generational relationships that matter. Wheelchair access to all our buildings ensures that every member of your group can take part in all the fun! Enjoy a unique experience that will leave everyone looking forward to seeing each other again!
