Girls' Camp

It's Girls' Camp, and we have exceptional girls and young women ages 7 to 15 here for the week.  They've started the summer off in style, and we really excited that they're here!

10 Year Paddles

Our co-directors, Adam "Taps" Brown and Chantal "Match" Jackson received their 10 year paddles at the end of our staff training.  The paddles represent their 10 years of camping experience, and were made by Taps and Match for each other.

                                              

Four of our counselors were also presented with 10 year paddles this summer.  Kate "Mauri" Hughes, David "Caber" Bannerman, Avery "Kaylo" Ross and Brad "Wickett" MacDonald have been involved with Cairn as campers or staff for a decade each.  That's 40 years of combined camping experience!

Leadership Training

                                                 
       
All 65 of our summer staff are here!  We started Leadership Training yesterday, and we have a week to learn and play together before the campers come. 

Pine Grove Public School is here!

Pine Grove is our last school of the spring, and they're really  helping us end the season with a bang! 

The grade six students braved the rain to canoe, go orienteering, climb the climbing wall and go down the zipline.  We've also had some great performances at campfire and many dance parties!

Circle of Song and Jr. High Retreat

Camp was a busy place this weekend!  Forty-five young people from five different youth groups came up to learn, play and worship together.                               

                                    

We also hosted Circle of Song, a day-long gathering of church choirs.  The choirs learned new pieces together and performed for each other.  It was lovely to hear our beloved camp songs performed with such expertise!
