We are happy to once again start offering changeover sessions for our international campers and campers who want to keep the camp magic going for multiple sessions. Campers will stay on site over the weekend between sessions and a small group of counsellor staff will plan and run activities with them, such as hiking and many other camp staples. Priority given to international campers staying for sessions on either side of the weekends. Limited space available
