With all the changes, will there be a camp program this summer, 2024?
Yes! Read on to learn more…
The majority of our staff and volunteers are busy working on our long-term changes. So this year, we will be offering a specially-tailored, small-scale program for a maximum of 12 participants. This is a fantastic opportunity to really dig into some areas of interest and to develop deep, personal connections with friends, new and old.
Please note: There are only 12 spaces for registration this summer. The spaces will be given on a first-come-first-serve basis. Sign up soon to make sure you get a spot!
New Location!
Silver Lake Camp
This summer, our camp will be hosted at the beautiful Silver Lake Camp in Sauble Beach, Ontario. Silver Lake is on 150 acres of mixed forests and fields, bordering 2 large spring-fed lakes.
Address:
72 Pine Forest Dr, Sauble Beach, Ontario, N0H 2G0
Typical Day at Camp
Home away from home
You will spend the week with 6 to 12 participants who, like you, are keen to get to know new people and learn about peace and justice together. Two fantastic leaders will be with your group throughout your time at camp. You will eat together and participate in morning and evening workshops as a group. If you come to camp not knowing another participant - don't worry! So many past participants have come to camp without knowing anyone and leave with life-long friends.
Daily Activities
At this beautiful camp site you can cool off in the pond, try kayaking or canoeing on the lake, go rock climbing, or try your hand at archery or tetherball.
Engaging workshops
At Camp Micah workshops are active and creative. We learn through play, role-play activities, film, group reflection, music, art, creative prayer, and so much more.
Develop your leadership skills and reflect on how you make a difference in the world. All while having a lot of fun!
Camp Details
-
Accomodations
While the main camp is “on grid”, our area of camp is “off-grid”, meaning there is no electricity or flush toilets in our cabin sleeping area.
There are wheelchair accessible outhouses near our cabins. In the main area of camp there are also wheelchair accessible gendered and gender non-binary flush washrooms and showers with electricity.
-
Food
The Silver Lake Kitchen Staff are able to accommodate a number of food needs and allergies. They have an incredible chef and team. Three meals are served along with an evening snack.
Fruit, coffee, tea and water are available throughout the day.
You will have an opportunity to let us know your dietary needs in your registration package.
-
Transportation
Due to the fact that we have such a small group this summer, we ask that participants try to find their own way to camp.
In June, we will contact you with more information about transportation. We will try to set you up with a carpool option if you are not able to get yourself to or home from camp.
You will be able to let us know about your transportation needs when you fill in your registration form.
Camp Fees
The total cost of camp is $800
We want you to come to camp and do not want cost to be a barrier. So, if you cannot pay this fee, please pay what you can.
If you wish, you can help us to raise some funds so that everyone who wants to come to camp will have the opportunity. We will provide every participant with a fundraising link that they can send to their school or other organizations to help ask for donations.
Our fundraising team works hard all year to subsidize camp fees. Special thanks to our donors and granting organizations.
