Circle Square Ranch is in east-central Alberta, overlooking a picturesque coulee in Paintearth County. We invite youth ages 6-17 into an adventure-packed week at our horseback riding camp. Campers try a range of activities in addition to riding horses, such as swimming, climbing, archery and hiking, alongside chances to explore their faith. With safety and health at the forefront, we are excited to once again welcome campers to have fun, make friends and grow with God.
Visit the InterVarsity Circle Square Ranch Halkirk website
Each day at camp is an action-packed adventure from horseback riding to archery, wall climbing to canoeing, exploring the hillsides to cooling off in the pool. Three delicious meals a day, meaningful discussions about faith, large group games, evening campfires, and a rodeo for family to watch to finish out the week. Our caring staff are with the campers every step of the day.

The Circle Square Ranch camps were founded in the 1970s as a program of Crossroads Christian Communications TV program, Circle Square. The popularity of the show created an initial interest in the camp programs, though in time the quality of the camps themselves were the draw independent of it. In 2011 Circle Square Ranch Halkirk was bought by InterVarsity, becoming one of nine camps that organization runs across the country. Begun 1929, the InterVarsity camps contribute to the goal of creating unique opportunities to bring young people together around the personal challenges that a camp setting can provide. At camp kids unplug and turn their attention to the community they find there. The activities facilitate a greater understanding of campers’ talents and abilities, as well as the Christian values that inform the programming. The equestrian programs at Circle Square date back to the camp’s founding four decades ago; as strong as ever, they are a particular draw, including the weekly rodeo event, for many of the families that enrol here.
We invite you to join us for a fun-filled summer adventure that could change your life!
Luke 2:52 speaks about how Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, in favor with God and man. Our goal is to help every camper develop their potential in those areas too. We teach new skills at camp, such as how to ride a horse or how to shoot a bow and arrow. We talk to campers about faith in God. We feed them very well at camp, planning meals that kids and teens will enjoy. Campers will meet new people and make new friends, some of those friendship may last a lifetime.
Many of our staff are former campers who want the opportunity to give kids the same great camp experience that they had at camp, and to share their faith in Jesus with the next generation. Our staff complete an application process with references, and criminal record/vulnerable sector checks for all adult staff. Staff attend training sessions prior to camp to ensure camper safety.
