Cheers to an Incredible Session
The past 2 days have been so filled with camp magic, making the ending feel especially poignant.

The night was capped off with a […]

With only a few days left before first month ends, every one is packed with excitement and special activities. Today we had a super cabin clean up (for tuck of course), FADSUP special day (fitness on paddle boards), NOGA (nature yoga on top of Gibraltar), tie-dyeing at Arts and Crafts, and a windsurf race to […]

Today’s weather held out just long enough for the bulk of our special day to be in sunshine, and when the rain finally came at 4pm we took advantage of the shower for an impromptu puddle-jumping and rain-dancing party. The day started out normal enough, with boiled eggs and cinnamon buns for breakfast and the […]

When I first came to Arowhon in 2013 I […]

Time flies when you’re having fun in the sun
We can’t believe it’s already time to say goodbye to our 2 week Juniors! It’s been an epic 13 days with them, culminating in an incredible performance of the Junior play (Matilda, the musical, which was hilarious, adorable, and impressively well-performed), a heartwarming Junior-Senior night (where each Junior got a senior buddy, dressed like twins […]
ContinueBut what if it doesn’t work?
Today on the canoe dock, a 12-year-old got in a full-length canoe, by herself. She was there to eagerly learn three new strokes, an effort that took courage, skill and patience. Perhaps the new strokes wouldn’t get her where she was going. Perhaps it would take longer to learn than she anticipated. A few hours later, […]

Our first round of canoe trips have started to come back and we’re loving all the stories and pride coming back with the Bears and Owls. 2 nights ago the Senior Moose put on a wonderful production of Buck Lake – a satire play about the staff, performed by the kids dressed as staff. The […]
