Week 1: Campers start each day in ‘cabin groups’ with their two counsellors, which promotes connection through small group discussion and activities.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re at the point of the year where our camp staff regularly exclaim \u201cI can\u2019t believe we\u2019re almost already half-way through the summer!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a few months ago within the Cairn Family of Camps, we were worried that campers and staff would lose the opportunity to build meaningful relationships, engage in camp programs, and be part of the faith community we know and love without camp this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we found a way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

After three weeks, we are thrilled to be able to report that Cairn\u2019s virtual programs have continued to provide an avenue for God\u2019s love to be seen, felt, and known. Campers have made new friends within their Cabin Groups, and have explored new activities such as baking, fitness, and even a creative endeavor to \u201cdesign your dream camp\u201d. The camp community continues to begin and end each day together, one of our special camp traditions, with our Morning Has Broken morning devotional, and praise time and vespers at \u201ccampfire\u201d before they leave each day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s See If We Can Camper Experiments: In one of this week’s activities, campers received challenges and then used their creativity and innovation to devise solutions.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

With support from Rev. Karen Pozios (Dixie Presbyterian Church, Mississauga), our staff too have been spiritually nurtured, which we believe is essential for both their personal growth and to ensure they are able to feel confident in creating faith community for campers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In honesty, at first, we wondered if it truly was possible to create real connections using an online platform. Without having seen it done before, we worried about how the positive impact of camp could be translated from in-person to video interactions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In collecting feedback surveys at the end of the first week of camp, this worry disappeared completely as one of our camper\u2019s parents commented: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis week was awesome. The staff were great, their personalities really shone through even online.\u00a0My daughter would say they were Joyful. She made a friend during camp this week and they are both doing camp together next week.\u00a0 She is so excited about what next week will bring.\u00a0 She has actually asked to do camp every week this summer. It has been wonderful to see her engaged as she has had a horrible time this spring.\u00a0 Our family are extroverts and this has been a hit to our hearts.\u00a0 You seem to have done everything right this week from our eyes. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 2 Pee Wee: There are virtual camp programmes for kids of all ages – with the oldest at 16 and the youngest group for those ages 3-6!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Spirit continues to work through Cairn\u2019s camping ministry. As we carry forward into the second half of our summer, please continue to pray for our staff leaders, and for our campers, that they will be assured of God\u2019s love, known through Christ Jesus and through the continuous presence of the Holy Spirit that exists \u2013 even still \u2013 within these virtual spaces of community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
