With 4 kids for a week the kids will get testy no matter where you take them. Try taking your boat and go up the North Saskatchewan river right from Edmonton. Camp on islands. There is fishing, beautiful sandy shoals in places, swimming, exploring, bushcraft, fossils, etc.. the kids can have fun with. You could go and stash extra fuel upstream by Gennesee or Berrymore bridges.
Let the kids make their own shelters and camp crafts. Get them engaged in the experience. In a week they will be a clan.
