Binx and Indigo (Hard at Work)It is through the gracious efforts of our volunteers that we are able to keep costs so low for our campers.  Each season, we are blessed with the efforts of an extraordinary number of people!

Brad “Peche” Cross is our Volunteer Coordinator, and he is gracious enough to organize work crews for us at our Work Weekends.  Brad is a new father (congratulations!), and we are so thrilled for his family.

If you’d like to Volunteer for us at camp, please contact the camp office or find Adam or Brad on Facebook.  We’re always glad to have more helping hands!

We would like to extend a huge “Thank You” to the Men’s Group and the Sr. Youth Group of Knox Waterloo Presbyterian Church!  These groups help us annually at our Spring Work Weekend, and many of the projects at camp simply couldn’t have happened without them.  The Sr. High Youth Group put in our docks (a thoroughly chilling job in May) and then borrow camp’s canoes to do a 24-hour trip in the Leslie Frost Centre.  The Men’s Group uses the Work Weekend as a time of bonding, and enjoy the sunshine, fresh air and hard work that comes with camp projects.

If your group would like to participate in one of our Work Weekends, please let Rebecca know: palais@ilovecamp.org.  We’re happy to host, feed and do some programming in exchange for your care and labour.

If you would like to get involved at Cairn, whether as a member of the Camp Board, as a maintenance or construction volunteer or as a special guest to work with our campers, please contact Chantal Jackson or Rebecca Jess.

Volunteer of the Year Award

Each year, we would like to recognize the efforts of one extraordinary volunteer. This is the person who has exemplified the meaning of servanthood.  Please check back at the end of our season to see the photo and description of this year’s invaluable friend of Cairn.

If you know of someone who should be nominated for the Cairn Volunteer of the Year please email us: info@ilovecamp.org
