Why YOU Should Be Going To Cairn Camps (Or Sending Someone To Cairn)

Summer time is quickly approaching us folks. It's nice to fantasize about ditching the snow and ice cold for the warm weather, leaving parkas and sweaters in your closet while you rock that new pair of shorts and most importantly- NO SCHOOL. Have you thought about what you're going to be doing this summer? Instead of just lazing around the house, being B-O-R-E-D, go to NOW to sign up for the best summer ever. Why you may ask? Here are some of the top reasons (of many) why you should go to Cairn camps this summer.

11. Adorable camp dogs

At Cairn, we sometimes have visitors from all of God's cute little creatures. Our camp dog Sally hangs out all summer. She's a big fan of hugs, long walks on the beach and naps all over camp.

10. A beautiful site

You won't find that view in the city. Come experience it for yourself !

9. Exciting Weekly Programming

Sports Camp to Dance Camp, Colour Games and more; you'll never get bored with the always exciting programming that Cairn has to offer!

Here we see last summer's Glen Mhor Colour Games Champs the Red Dragons striking a pose in their spirit colours. Looks like they enjoy Cairn!

8. Dressing up in crazy costumes is not only allowed but ENCOURAGED

Sparkly dresses? Retro jackets? Silly wigs? A super over sized stuff fish? Yup, the Cairn MADD (Music, Arts, Dance & Drama) department has it all and so much more! You can dress up to be any character your heart desires! Fun fun fun!

7. The staff are here for YOU. The Cairn Staff love camp just as much as you do and want to make sure that we can be there to give you the best camp experience ever!

6. Bonding over bonfires

When you think camp, you probably think campfire right? Well Cairn has a lot of those! Real fire or not, both Glen Mhor and Iona have nightly camp fires as a way to close our day together.

Thanks for the evening friends!

5. Camp is for ALL ages. That is, as long as you're between the ages of 5-17 for most regular programming

Don't worry, there is always family camp or special weeks for different age groups! Go to gmi.ilovecamp.org for more details and information on camping weeks!

4. At Cairn, you get the opportunity to discover, develop and use your leadership skills!

Here was a picture taken during a STAND workshop with our past camp director Topaz. She taught Glen Mhor that teens have the ability to truly make a difference in the world- YA WE CAN.

3. Experience the magic that only Cairn camps have to offer

Some campers at the Iona Wilderness site are enjoying the beautiful day on the water, soaking up some sun (hopefully they applied sunscreen) and the Cairn camp magic

2. Create friendships that will last a lifetime

Some may say that the friends you make at Cairn will be some of the best friends you make in your entire life. Well you know what, they might just be right. (Hint hint- they are right)

1. At Cairn- God comes first.

The Cairn Family of Camps are owned and operated by the Presbyterian Church in Canada. This means we provide friendly Christian camping that will help nourish each and every camper's faith during their time at camp.

SO COME TO CAMP THIS YEAR!

If you're looking for some fun filled, heart warming, Christian camping in your life then Cairn camps is just your ticket. We would love to have you become a part of our family this upcoming summer season. We are based around the 4 S code

(Safety, Stewardship, Servant hood and Self Esteem) and promise to do our best to provide you with one of the greatest weeks of your life.

Thanks for the camp experience friends
