History
Our Lady of Victory Camp was established in 1948 with a generous donation of 8 acres of land by Andrew and Anne Guillemand. The camp was original founded by Fathers Patrick Rooney and Joseph Murphy to provide summer catechism instruction for children and youth. Programs were also facilitated by Sisters and other from Lacombe, Bentley, Sylvan, and Rimbey areas.
Unfortunately by the later 1960s the facilities of the camp had become run down. Generous donations from the Knights of Columbus provided funds and labour to restore the camp, a relationship which has continued to the present.
