Manitoba’s Retreat and Conference Center for those
who love adventure
Faith, friendship, and adventure — all in one unforgettable place.

What Makes Us Different
Why Choose Camp Arnes
This is where kids run wild (in a good way), try new things, and dive deep into what really matters. Canoeing, climbing, campfires, and Christ at the center of it all.
- Christ-centered community: Every activity is rooted in faith, service, and connection.
- Adventure-ready setting: Zipline, canoe, rock climb, and hike — all on-site.
- Comfortable accommodations: Lodges, cabins, and dorms for groups large and small.
- Conference-ready: Meeting spaces with A/V, dining hall seating for 300+, and full meal service.
- Easy access: Just 90 minutes north of Winnipeg — yet a world away from distraction.
“Every year our youth come home changed — not just inspired, but closer to Christ.”
— FBCYouth Pastor, Winnipeg
