premium camp services with a hotel pedigree

When you stay at a North Country managed camp, you'll notice signs everywhere that our company is deeply rooted in the hospitality industry. Our president Garry Young brings more than 25 years of hotel experience to the business, something reflected throughout the standards and quality of all our operations.

You'll appreciate things like daily towel service, higher quality linens and comforters, white-glove cleanliness and unsurpassed janitorial standards. We're renowned for superior meals with emphasis on fresh ingredients and cooking from scratch. And you'll rest easy knowing we pride ourselves on our rigorous adherence to safety and environmental standards, including the use of eco friendly janitorial and cleaning products.

The industrial lodges we manage are strategically located in the Alberta Oil Sands. These premier accommodations include private rooms with bathrooms, satellite TV, superb dining facilities, recreation areas, fitness rooms, computer rooms and laundry facilities.

stay healthy

We've seen a lot of changes to the way clients perceive value since our beginning nearly a decade ago. Today, it's no longer enough to provide varied and high-quality meals and room to lounge and visit. Our clients work hard and make big sacrifices, and they depend on us to help them sustain a healthy lifestyle when away from home.

Clients want nutritious, balanced meals made from the freshest ingredients. At North Country, we deliver. Though it's never easy to achieve in a camp environment, we favour fresh produce over frozen, and our chefs are experts at designing delicious and healthful, energizing menus that have upheld mealtime as one of the great joys of staying at a North Country managed camp.

Staying fit and active has long been a major challenge in camp life, so we've focused on making it easier for our clients. Every one of the facilities we operate has an integrated, top-notch fitness facility, equipped with an inventory of well-maintained professional quality exercise equipment. Many of our clients now find it easier to stay fit with North Country than it is at home!

stay safe

North Country has an exemplary safety record. Working on an ongoing basis with our own trainers and Client HSE personnel, North Country continuously reviews and refines our industry leading "best practices" policy. The company monitors and audits all operations against a comprehensive Safety Manual.

environmental commitment

North Country Catering is very sensitive to the impact our operations have on the environment. Wherever possible North Country uses environmental friendly products including laundry soaps and cleaning products, as well as biodegradable water bottles, garbage bags, to-go containers and coffee cups.

president's message

At North Country Catering we take great pride in having the highest standards in the industry, including food quality, cleanliness, safety practices and training, as well as professional management and staff.

All of these enable us to provide our clients with the best camp experience in the industry. We empower our employees to follow through on our commitment at every level and we take great pride in our goal of having 'no camp issues.'

A customized, problem-free stay enables our clients to focus exclusively on their core business. The result is visibly greater satisfaction, higher client job productivity and a camp experience that is more enjoyable and inviting on every level. You'll see it when you visit any of the camps we manage both in the physical environment and on the faces of people who work and stay with us.
