Our Schedule
Look at how clean that cabin is!
7:30- Cabin Clean-Up
Cabin Clean-Up is the point in the day when we make our cabins look nice and neat! Every week we have a Cabin Clean-Up competition between cabins to see who is the best of the best at keeping things tidy. Every day the housemothers come and check our cabins and hand out a daily prize to each cabin. The cabin that wins most often wins a prize at the end of the week. Some cabins even do special themes to give the housemothers extra incentive to choose them as the winners!

8:15- Interest Sessions
Every day we have what we like to call Interest Sessions! They are a series of different activities where each camper gets to choose what they want to do! We always run Polar Dip (an early morning swim) and every week we offer different activities like yoga, basketball and lots more!
8:35-Breakfast
We are very lucky to have amazing cooks that provide us with breakfast, lunch, and dinner! If you keep looking around the our website, you just might find our menu for each week! We are also happy to accommodate any dietary restrictions such as vegetarianism and veganism, as well as any allergies you may have! At the end of our meals we also like to take the chance to give a big thanks to our cooks, who work very hard to feed us every day! Some of our meals even have special themes like One Utensil to keep things exciting!
9:20- Toothy Time
One of the most important aspects of everyday is keeping ourselves healthy and happy! That starts with good hygiene and our twice a day Toothy Time! While the campers brush their pearly-whites, they might even get some entertainment in the way of silly songs led by our awesome counsellors!

Our beautiful Craft Cabin
Crafts is run by our weekly Craft Director! This is a lot of campers favourite part of the day. In the Craft Cabin we have endless craft supplies to make all sorts of unique crafts from ideas that the Craft Directors find and plan for us.
We are very happy to welcome our special guests from the Oxford Presbytery in the form of our CE Directors every week! CE is our time of the day to learn about Christianity in fun and inventive ways! Everything from games, to crafts, to acting is employed to get the good word out.

Are we in High School Musical yet?
Swimming is run every week by our NLS certified lifeguards! This session involves water polo, aqua zumba, water games, synchro swims and any other activity the LGs may plan for us! For those who just want to have a relaxing swim, we have 2 other free swims during the day to relax and cool off with your friends and staff.
Skoobs and Schnitz get soaked!
12:25-Gophers
Now seems like as good a time as any to explain our "Gopher" system! For every meal of the day, each cabin is required to send two people to set the table beforehand. Why are they called gophers? Because they are also the people who "go for" things during the meal, including things that they might run out of like milk or for extra mac n' cheese (it goes pretty fast)! Finally, the gophers help to wash the dishes after the meal! We love this system, because we split the work and learn responsibility in the process. Plus after all the cooking the cooks do for us, the least we could do is clean up!
12:35-Lunch
Did we mention there is a BIG rule that goes with our meals? We as a staff have a strict NO ELBOWS policy! That means if you put your elbows on the table when you're eating you will get called out! We do a lot of silly punishments for this crime against table manners! Everything from doing the hula to proposing to a staff member is fair game! But if the staff do it..they have a lot worse of a punishment in store!

If you want to write letters or read a book, you can! If you wanna throw a baseball around on your porch, you can! That's what's so great about Cabin Time!
