The legendary YLC Western Caucus - "Camp Wanna Be Free"

2010-05-28

Western Caucus (also known as Camp Wannabefree, or Camp Finallyfree when we are in government) has been held every summer since 1988. It is a gathering of Young Liberals from across the Western provinces, from Manitoba to BC. Held at a camp-ground type venue in a different province each year, it features speakers, workshops on policy and organisation, and Liberal hospitality.

The campground selected has log cabins for accommodation, and a newly built lodge for other gatherings. Silver Lake is right beside the campground. During the summer Peachland has sunny, thirty degree weather. It is a beautiful area, and there are numerous wineries nearby.

Peachland is approximately thirty minutes away from the closest airport, Kelowna International Airport, and it is about a four hour drive from Vancouver, and an eight hour drive from Calgary. (Map:

The cost of the weekend is $110, and this includes food, beverages, and accommodation. Carpools to the campground will be organised.
