Grandpa’s Heart at Nicklen Lake (aka K’ik’wa7 i7 spu7usc) is owned and operated by Desiree Baker of the ‘Namgis First Nation and Vanessa Mountain of the St’at’imc Nation. The two have been friends for over 20 years. Their goal is to share a piece of their culture and history (along with partners, presenters, and facilitators from the Okanagan and other areas) with the world.

Not only do each of the ladies own this place together, they each have their own other businesses. Grandpa’s Heart at Nicklen Lake is their project of the heart.

The idea of a place to hold wellness retreats, traditional workshops, and good ole family camping is what this place is all about.
