Hey Friends,
It’s that time of year again—planning for our Fall Sparrow Lake Family Camp weekend - a weekend away at Sparrow Lake! From Friday, September 25 through Sunday, September 27, you’re invited to join us for our annual Family Camp. Below are all the details. Please feel free to forward to any of your friends - All are Welcome!
Whether you’ve been before or this is your first time, you are wholeheartedly welcome. This is a weekend of community, connection, play, rest, and being together outdoors as the seasons start to turn. If you can't make it for the weekend, we would love to invite you to join us for the day on Saturday. Please let us know so we can have enough food.
There are a few changes this year - as each year we are getting better and better at planning and preparation! We are going to keep the meals & meal planning a little more simple - less time in the kitchen - more time enjoying our time together. We have some fun new games and activities planned. And of course we will still be running an incredible bonfire - with music, skits and fun circle games!
We are sharing the space with Burton United Church and as a result Cabin space is limited and will be assigned and filled on a first-come-first-serve basis, so email me soon to get on the list! PLease e-transfer meyou $50.00 deposit per person so I can reserve you your cabin. We would really love to have your deposit and commitment As soon As possible to ensure smooth planning!
