OUR PROGRAM
Something for Everyone!
​
Every summer, DFC plans an amazing week of fun events and activities based around a theme. In past years we have explored such themes as: Meant to Be, Simply Together, Love Grows Here and On my Way.
​
Following a hot breakfast served in the Dining Hall, families are invited to gather at the chapel to explore the theme further through a skit presented to them, hands on activities, discussions, readings and of course, music! Reconnect with your family and centre yourself for the day.
​
Have your morning snack at one of the activities scheduled for you or your children. Tots (ages 5 and under) enjoy such activities as music, beach time, arts &crafts and scavenger hunts with volunteers. Children 6 & up are welcome to participate in arts & crafts (painting, scrap booking, tie dye, beading etc), sports and recreation (hikes, organized games etc.).
​
Meet at the Dining Hall for lunch. Will you be eating inside or having a picnic lunch? Following announcements head to the waterfront for swimming, boating, or relaxing on the beach! Before dinner join a workshop based on your interest: music, fishing, crafts, sports or simply relax and take in the camp setting.
​
After dinner, enjoy the many traditions of Family Camp! Campfires filled with music, games and s'mores; Zap, Capture the Flag and our popular end of the week Dance!
​
As much as the time connecting as a family is key to our Family Camp vision, spending time with other parents/caregivers once the little ones have gone to bed is just as important! Teens are involved in childcare so that you may attend a variety of adult socials such as Irish Night, Trivia Night and Coffee House. Enjoy food and drink in the company of other adults attending camp and recharge!
​
The week is full of opportunities to make connections, to reflect and most of all - to have fun! All of this surrounded by the beauty of the Laurentians in a campground setting. Hope to see you there!
Even though Camp is only one week a year, we run fun events for the entire family all year long. We hope to see you at one of our social nights, various fundraisers or outreach programs.
