New lodge at Camp Alexo now complete
A new addition to Camp Alexo in Nordegg marks a new beginning for Red Deer-based Youth HQ.
The Eagle’s Nest Rotary Lodge will hold its grand opening this summer, signaling the final step in the camp’s master plan.
“The Camp Alexo Master Plan is a $2.4 million project that ran for three years, involving 1,060 caring volunteers who donated over 38,000 hours and garnered heavy support from community businesses, supporters and donors,” says Kris Fleckenstein, Youth HQ Board Chair. “This was a community-wide effort that will benefit children, youth, families, groups and organizations throughout central Alberta well into the future. This marks a remarkable milestone for Youth HQ.”
Fund Development Officer John Johnston, who’s been with Youth HQ for 34 years, says he’s seen the impact Camp Alexo has on kids.
