When kids come home from camp….
As camp winds down and summer starts to wane, I know that parents are super excited to welcome their children home. As a parent, I know that we miss them when they’re gone… and yet sometimes their return – after the first flush of homecoming – can be a little confusing. Are you really the […]

Today was another amazing example of why Planet Arowhon is unlike any other place on earth.

Pour it did, all afternoon, but that didn’t stop us from having an INCREDIBLE day 2 of Colour War! Land and Sea this morning had every single camper either running around on land or cruising the lake in boats trying to get as many hidden blocks as they could out to the voyageur canoe which […]

We couldn’t have asked for a better first day of Colour War!

The rain finally came today and we were so glad for the cool-down it provided after so many days of overbearing heat! We had our campfire indoors where it was dryer and thanks to the drama staff’s tech savviness we even had a virtual bonfire crackling in the background! There were 3 touching 10 year jacket […]

Today we sent 30 campers in the voyageur canoe to paddle to Camp Tamakwa to represent Arowhon in activity competitions on land and lake and they made us so proud!!!

ContinueGlowstick Paddle
We just watched the annual Glowstick Paddle…. The whole camp sitting in front of the Main Lodge watching the best kayakers in camp performing kayak ballet – pinwheels, pivots in groups, kayak rolls galore… And all magically visible to us because the kayak instructors duct taped literally hundreds of glowsticks to every kayak and to […]
