Esk'etemc has hosted the AA Round Up for the past 30 years and will host its 37th Annual AA Round Up on July 12 - 14, 2013 and its 38th Annual New Years Day AA Round Up in January 2014.  Every year people from all over Canada and the United States and around the world attend the AA Round Up from places like China, Germany, and Australia.  In 2010, we celebrated the 25th Anniversary of the making of "The Honor of All" with a viewing of the movie.  More information regarding "The Honor of All" movie can be found at the Products/Services page.

The arbor area consists of a camping area, kitchen, picnic areas, showers and washrooms, and sweat lodge area.  You can enjoy a meeting or attend one our our morning sweat lodges and dance at our outdoor dance to the music of "The Nitehawks".  We recommend that you bring your camping gear to enjoy the entire weekend, we have great speakers every year.
