We are once again able to answer your calls! Our phone line is back up - thanks to a resourceful repair man from Bell Canada.
Thank you for your patience while we were waiting for service to be restored. Feel free to phone the camp office if you need anything!

The power is back on!
Ontario Hydro did a nice job restringing some lines for us, and we have our full electrical grid back up and running.
The phones are still damaged though, so we're unable to answer if you call. Please either leave us a message (which we'll return), or send an e-mail to the camp office.
For registration requests: admin@ilovecamp.org

We're in the middle of busy times here at camp. We have the Jr. High Retreat with us all weekend, and Circle of Song is just joining us to share some music today. They are arriving as I type this, and I can see some big smiles from across the Courtyard.
There was a very big storm last night at camp, and we're still without electricity. Thankfully, there's not very much at camp that requires electricity - so it's business as usual for our Jr. High Campers (some of whom will get to ride the zipline this morning). Our generators provide power to the kitchen fridges and freezers, as well as the plumbing system. So everyone can still use flush toilets, and the kitchen is still cranking out warm, delicious food.
If you're trying to call camp today, you will have trouble getting through. We can't answer the phones when the power is out. However, please leave us a message and we'll return your call via cell phone.
I'll post a website update when the power is turned back on, but I'm off to enjoy a day outside!
Have a good weekend everyone!
Now that some of the Outdoor Ed. Staff are working at camp, we have lots of people adding neat things to the website. Kiwi is currently working with our Adult Volunteers to upload photos to the Cairn Flickr Stream.

This past weekend PYPS held their annual Spring Fellowship Weekend at camp. It was cold (and slightly rainy), but they had an excellent time together.
Thanks to PYPS for taking good care of the camp facilities. We'll see you next year!
Topaz came to camp this week, and look who she brought with her!
Maverick now lives in Woodstock with Topaz and Zoic, but it's really nice to have him back at camp for a few days.
The snow is gone, the sun is shining, and it's a good day to be at camp!
It's snowing today!
Our Spring Staff move up to camp on May 1st. For their sakes, I hope it warms up a bit before then! Otherwise, it's site work in the snow.
Welcome back to work, everyone. I hope your Easter break was fantastic.
The camp office is a busy place this week as we prepare for LIT Day on Saturday. We will spend the day at Morningside - High Park Presbyterian Church putting the LIT applicants through their paces. There is a parent's meeting at 3:00 on LIT day, where we try to give families all the information they need to prepare for their summer experience.

We have 2 Church services this weekend, too! Match is visiting Hillsburgh, and I am joining St. Andrew's Bowmanville for worship. We're looking forward to seeing some our campers in those congregations - and hopefully it will feel like Spring by the Weekend!
The time has come! Here are the Staff Application, Staff Re-Application and LIT Application for 2008.
