Autumn and Winter Retreats
Our annual Autumn Retreats provide the opportunity for intense work and intense fun at Camp Chestermere. Cantaré and Cantiga each enjoy a weekend away where our time is spent singing, studying, playing, and having fun together. Cantilena's retreat is a one-day escape.
Winter Retreat is one of the most important events of the year - the children experience INCREDIBLE musical and personal growth in one short weekend. Cantando, Cantaré and Cantiga each enjoy their own weekend of music, fun, and recreation. Cantilena has a one day retreat which is just perfect for them.
Our Past: Autumn and Winter Retreats at Kamp Kiwanis
For almost 25 years, Cantare Children’s Choir’s Autumn and Winter Retreats were graciously hosted by Kamp Kiwanis near Bragg Creek.
Some of the choir’s happiest memories in our 25-year history were formed at the breakfast table over Chef' Matthew’s legendary hash browns, playfully presenting skits out on the porch, and digging deep into incredible music shoulder to shoulder in the rehearsal room.
In 2022, the camp site was demolished to make way for flood mitigation. As an organization, we want to wish Kamp Kiwanis well as they move to their new site, and to say thank you to all of the staff and volunteers at Kamp Kiwanis for so many years of amazing memories!
