Happy Canada Day everyone. Hope your staying safe and enjoying the nice weather.

Yesterday was a sad day that we have to announce that we will NOT be running a camp session for the summer of 2020. We have had many discussions but it has come down to weather we believe we can safely operate with Covid-19 still as prevalent as it is. Camper safety has always been our number 1 priority and we see no way to operate that can guarantee that an outbreak won’t occur at camp. Summer camps and social distance just don’t go together and it would be almost impossible... to ensure that the standards are meant. We will instead use this summer to update our procedures to ensure we can continue to the highest standard of camping. If funding will allow we will also try to tackle some of the capital project that have been put on the back burner while camps are in session. The government of Ontario made an announcement that residential camps will not be able to open this summer due to the sheer volume of kids that end up living together in close quarters. This confirms that we made the right choice in closing camp for the season. We are going to increase our Facebook activity over the summer to hopefully keep families informed and try to engage campers in any way possible. We hope that we can keep campers engaged with us through out the summer so that they are ready to join us again in 2021. Stay safe and know that we at camp are going to miss you just as much as you miss us.

Just a reminder that we are making an announcement today at 11. Hope to see you all then.

Hey Everyone, We have a big announcement next week. I am going to go live on Tuesday May 19 at 11am to make an announcement. See you all then.

Hey Everyone, As we begin to prepare for the upcoming summer we want to ensure that parents and campers voices are heard. Please comment with your/ your campers favorite camp activity or 1 thing we should look at changing. As we look to rebuild our schedule it is important that we incorporate the activities that you like best. We look forward to seeing the responses.

If your interested in volunteering please sign up. You will be contacted at a later date to confirm. Please note that volunteering while campers are onsite is very limited and requires a vulnerable sector police check.

It's hard to believe that 3 months ago we started our registration process and now through COVID-19 we are questioning whether camp will be able to run this year or not. We are aware that the decision to open or not may be out of our hands and that is an added level of stress for our families. I wish we had a definitive answer, but like many organizations things are changing almost daily. The short answer for now is we plan to run as much camp as we are able to. I will be going live tomorrow April 17 at 3pm to share some information as we continue to assess what this summer will look like. See you all tomorrow.

Hard to believe that it is already time to start planning for the upcoming summer. Our forms are finally ready and posted on the website. We will be sending hard copies to the schools as soon as they have resolved their current job action. We have confirmed that school staff will still fill out the referral section. Please feel free to go our website and print the forms. http://wp.stevensoncamp.ca/registration/ Look forward to seeing everyone this summer.
