Goodbye Winter!

Well, we've had a wonderful winter up here at camp these past few months! With record temperatures, and record snowfall, all of our participants had their fair share of winter conditions.

We had many different groups here this winter, including international students from all over the world, adult team-building weekends, grade school recreational experiences, high school leadership classes, family camps and more. With over 20 enthusiastic, experienced and knowledgeable program staff, and hard-working kitchen, maintenance and office staff behind it all, we pulled off a great winter 2014 season! Thank you to everyone who visited our site this winter- you made it a memorable one!

The winter program staff team! 

Here are some photos from the past winter we'd love to share with you! 

The broomball court early on....those banks haven't quite built up yet!

 We had a great lake rink this year!

New Year's Family Camp was a blast! 

 Skiing across the lake, tracking a fox!

 Family Camp (east) Beach with quinzee sleeping shelters!

 A rare view from the east dining hall porch.

 Sunrises are always worth it, when you have scenery like this!

One of the first big snows of our winter season...snowshoeing to breakfast! 

 Broomballl!

Everyone loves a ski across the lake to the ice wall! 

High ropes in the winter...an added challenge of more clothing and clunky boots!

 A group of families at March Break Family Camp on a snowshoe trek.

Hot chocolate, marshmallows, and a fire: a great reward to a beautiful ski across the lake at night!

Tobogganing!

Our kitchen staff sure are talented! Pirates & Vikings theme dinner: treasure chest cakes for dessert!


The ever popular and infamous "umbrella Island"

So now we close off our season with an empty site for about a month with still many inches of ice on the lake, lots of snow (with a new fresh layer just yesterday!), and a quiet dining hall; and we wait in anticipation for the snow to melt, birds plants, and animals to emerge, and soon, for our spring groups to burst onto site with lots of positive and enthusiastic energy! We hope to see you here this spring in some form!

Some of the exciting things we have planned are:
- Outdoor Centre Groups of all kinds!
- Mother-Daughter Weekend  (May 9-11)
- Father-Son Weekend (May 23-25)
- Spring Volunteer Work Weekend (April 25-27)
- Spring Family Camp Volunteer Work Weekend (June 6-8)
