Emma Lake Kenderdine Campus

Emma Lake Kenderdine Campus is a University of Saskatchewan arts campus and environmental research centre that respects, protects, encourages and promotes the symbiotic relationships between the lakeside boreal forest and people through all aspects of educational programming in the arts, research and retreat programs, forest and campus management and site development.

Emma Lake Kenderdine Campus is situated approximately 50 kilometres north of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. It is on a small isolated peninsula in a lake-resort area. The Campus has a communal dining lodge overlooking the lake, a tuck shop with souvenirs, books and toiletry items, several private and shared cabins in both rustic and modern architectural styles (all with attached washrooms), coin-operated laundry and communal washroom facilities, a large open studio with water and electricity, three classrooms and two outdoor covered work areas. Tenting sites are also available on campus. All meals must be taken on site. Participants wishing further camping information can contact the Provincial Camp Ground at Murray Point (10 minute walk) at (306) 982-4741 or (306) 982-2002. Reservations are advisable.

A significant part of the charm and excitement of the programs at Emma Lake is that they are enhanced by the communal living environment. Stimulating conversation at meal-time and late night discussions tend to ‘fire' the creative juices. As such, participants are encouraged to stay on site and allow the management and staff to prepare their meals and snacks.

Emma Lake Kenderdine Campus gratefully acknowledges the funding support of Dorothy Knowles Perehudoff, The Saskatchewan Craft Council and the Emma Lake Collaboration Biennial Conference Committee.
