It’s going to pure joy for everyone when you arrive at camp this summer. We’ve really been missing you!

Just think about: packing your knapsack and sleeping bag, making sure you’ve got your favourite pillow and your swimsuit. Pure joy! That beautiful sail across the water on the ferry, followed by the quick drive through the trees and right onto the camp property. But this time, you get to bring your family along too! For those of you returning after a long stretch of being away, it will be like coming home. For those of you coming for the first time, we’re doing everything we can to make you feel quickly at home.

We’re feeling the joy already as we put everything in order for your arrival. Cleaning up the cabins and prepping the tent platforms. Stocking the Tuck Shop with all your favourite snacks and specially designed t-shirts, caps and hoodies, just for this summer. Planning menus, with old favourites along some tasty new meals we’ve been longing for you to try.

The joy meter is just going to climb as you unroll your sleeping bag, pump up that pillow and stow your gear under your bunk. Imagine running across Jr. Meadow for the first time. Looking out to Gull Island as you dip your toes in Senior Bay. Hearing the bell ring for dinner, and smelling the sea-salt air. All with your family!

We have moments of joy often now, and it’s hard to keep track! We love planning scavenger hunts and wibit schedules, putting all the archery equipment in order, and building a fun new activity over near the archery range! Our teams are preparing morning devotions and cool crafts. We’re practising new tunes on our guitars and rummaging through the costume closet to make sure we’re ready for, you know, even more joy for you and your family!

Can you imagine it? Can you feel it? We can! Pure joy. That’s what we’re feeling as we think about welcoming your family to camp this summer. We cannot wait to see you!
