OUR VISION
Camp Tanner Inc. welcomes campers from ages 7 to 15 every summer for a season of fun, friends, team-building, and activities under the sun. Each week is given a fun, unique theme (often inspired from pop-culture) to inspire crafts, games, daily themes, meals, and more! Registration includes wonderful, home-cooked meals, a weeks stay in a cabin with friends and a counselor, costumes, crafts, and activities. All camp weeks are open for registration. Our daily schedule, fees, and information on how to register is accessible online.
We the members of Camp Tanner Inc., wish to provide an opportunity for spiritual, mental, emotional and physical growth, through a meaningful Christian camping experience in a natural environment in God's creation. With God's help and the support of Presbytery, Church congregations and the community, we accept this responsibility.

Be sure to brief yourself before you come and you'll be well in the know! "CIT"
Our CITs (pronounced C-I-T or "sit") are our youngest members of staff (at 16 years old) and are called CITs because they are "Counsellors-In-Training". We like to pull pranks and make them do embarrassing things as part of the initiation to our staff! Regatta An afternoon of cabin cheers, cabin synchros, a run and splash on our slip n' slide, painting the CITs, and other water-based games! Cabin Clean Up A way to be tidy, as well as creative! Points are given out to campers according to cleanliness! Bonus points are given out to campers who decorate in a theme. Fred the Moose The friendly moose who greets staff on the staff path! Morning Exercises The big sun comes up! The dew goes away! Morning exercises are fun stretches, exercises, cheers, and activities to wake up camp. Passports Junior weeks choose their own adventure every afternoon. They choose one or two from a list of 5 activities and create an afternoon of personalized fun! Special Activities Senior and intermediate campers choose from musical theatre, dance, beach volleyball, and soccer which are coached by our activities staff. Get ready to perform on Fridays! Challenge Meal At Camp Tanner, we don't just eat, we play! Counselors challenge each other to earn their seat in the dining hall. The luckiest of them all well get to head table! Morning Watch and Vespers A wonderful way to spend time with God each morning and every night ensures that we start and end our days right. Overlooking the gorgeous pond, our devotional area at camp is a quiet and serene place to spend time with God during devotions. Mac N Cheese A delicious and nutritious meal we serve each week! This ain't no KD...this is the homemade good stuff! Co-Cabin Each cabin is paired together with a co-cabin. For example cabin 1 and cabin 2 will be co-cabin. They each have their own counsellor and their own campers however co-cabins spend a fair amount of time together as well. At co-ed weeks your co-cabin will be of the opposite gender. Unit A cabin and their co-cabin together makes a unit. In the mornings campers travel to sessions with their units. |
