About Communities Connecting for Children (CCC)

CCC is a Canadian Registered Charity. We are committed to bringing the early life in Canada and nature appreciation of the outdoors in a unique learning experience. We have built Matheson Creek Camp to fill our needs. Our 70-acre facility has been developed for this purpose, and our mission is to give the opportunity to members of our community to live as closely as possible to history for a short time. We have six heritage sites with sleeping facilities, and a spirit garden ideal for outdoor learning as well as a school portable.
