About
Best of both worlds
Not only does the Kaléo program take place in a beautiful part of Canada, it also takes place at Camp Qwanoes, where students can be immersed in a Christian camp atmosphere. While enjoying the setting of a well-known Christian camp on the West Coast, students can earn the same college credit they would earn on campus at Briercrest. Between the atmosphere of Camp Qwanoes and the high-quality academics of Briercrest, students get the best of both worlds with this unique partnership! Students will have the opportunity to grow as they live and learn in the heart of a dynamic front-line ministry to children and youth. They will also be able to put into practice what they are learning right away!
Vibrant community life
Because the Kaléo program enrols far fewer students than a typical college campus, students get to know one another personally and form many lifelong friendships. There are 20-28 students in the Kaléo program every year, which keeps the classes small and close-knit. Throughout the year, students study, serve, hang out, and go on adventures together. They support, challenge, teach, and pray for one another. Together, they help one another become the people God wants them to be.
Along with the Kaléo group, students are welcomed into a community of full-time Christian camp workers. Qwanoes is a community of 25-30 full-time staff and their families, interns, short-term staff—and hopefully you!
