Our Family Camp, which operates in late July of each year, is an incredible 8+ days of worship and celebration. Our facilities are filled to capacity as people from across Canada Central District and as far away as Vancouver Island and Florida are drawn to this annual celebration. During this week, the riverfront provides opportunities for boating, fishing and canoeing on a quiet river that leads into beautiful Lake Simcoe. Just a short drive provides swimming at the lake and several excellent golf courses.
