Mama Mia!
Here we go again! The second play of the summer was even more EVERYTHING than we could have hoped for. It was fun, funny, creative, touching, and full of heart and soul from all involved. All the hard work the camper cast and crew put into preparing over the last weeks paid off and the […]

It’s Getting Hot Out Here
There’s nowhere better to be in the middle of a heatwave than on a lake in Algonquin Park! We have literally ZERO swim “refuseniks” this summer and the Nautilus (our newest giant floating playground) is in high demand (today for the high class rock climbers to practice their “free solo” skills).
