Teen Week Reunion

Our annual Teen Week Reunion was held at Knox Presbyterian Church in Waterloo n December 17, 2006.  Thanks to all the teens, LITs and Staff who brought items for the food drive.

Iona Yurt Rentals

Our Iona Yurts are available for Winter Rental. Each Yurt has a built-in wood stove and sleeps up to 4 people in comfort. The Yurts are perfect as a “home base” for snowshoeing, snowmobiling, tobogganing, cross-country skiing and skating on the lake. We would love to see active families, Youth Groups and Church groups spend part of their winter with us. Camp can also help you find equipment rentals.

The costs of Yurt Rentals is $45.00 per person per night.

Church Visits

Church Visits are a great way to remind your congregation about camp. Each year, we are invited to speak at Churches across the Synod, and we would be thrilled to add your Church to that list.

Church Visits are available from January to April and will feature a Children’s Story, an announcement to the congregation and an informative and colourful display after the service.

To book a visit, or for more information, contact Adam Brown: taps@ilovecamp.org.
