Camp Metamorphosis West is a one week camp program put on by the St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Community of Winnipeg. It’s located at Veselka Camp, a Ukrainian Orthodox camp site 2 kms north of Gimli, Manitoba.

The Orthodox faith is at the heart of Camp Metamorphosis West. Each day begins and ends in the church with morning and evening prayers.

Campers spend each day taking part in activities on the campground. Daily life at Camp Metamorphosis West includes many traditional summer camp activities that emphasize fun, fellowship, and learning. Campers engage in daily sessions of Athletics, Arts and Crafts, Movies, Bonfires, Music and Greek Culture, and Orthodox Life. Supervised time is also spent at the beach everyday while at camp. Every sunset brings a different evening activity or event and a chance to build better bonds and friendships.

Our goal is to have each camper take home memories that will last a lifetime, build lasting friendships with the children in our community, lead a healthier, more active lifestyle, have a greater understanding and appreciation of their faith and culture, and become more active participants in church and community life throughout the year.
