Sr. High Retreat

This past weekend we had Youth Groups join us from 5 different Churches across our Synod!  It was a great time of fellowship, networking and play for the young people, and a chance to worship on Sunday morning as a diverse crowd.

Thanks to the leaders and teens who came to camp for the weekend.  We had a great time with you, and especially enjoyed all the performances and antics at our Cairn Capades talent night!

Buildings on the Glen Mhor Site at Cairn

Dining Hall/ Main Lodge

Our lodge is the central meeting area of the Outdoor Centre. Most of the action will take place at centre camp, around the Lodge. The building also houses the offices of our Directors and all senior staff members, along with staff laundry facilities.  All meals are eaten in our Dining Hall, along with evening campfires during the spring (due to insects in the spring). It is our most popular building due to its picturesque view of Echo Lake, and its appealing stone fireplace.

Sleeping Accommodations – Cabins at the Outdoor Centre

While at camp, participants will sleep in one of our 12 cabins on our site.  Our Cabins are located on both sides of our site -  boys side and girls side! Each cabin can accommodate up to 10 people comfortably on bunk beds with ample storage.  Accompanying teachers and parent supervisors may reside in any one of these cabins located within close proximity to the group memberʼs cabins or in the camper cabins with their group. All cabins are within a 5 minute walk to the Lodge complex (Dining Hall and Washrooms) and are a short walk to the waterfront and other areas on site.

Washroom Facilities

There is a main washroom complex for both males and females which include shower facilities located at our main lodge.  The complex is located in the main lodge building not far from any cabin. There are also Kyboʼs (outhouses) provided in close proximity to all cabins.

Health Centre
We have a fully equipped Health Centre located directly beside our main lodge.  It is available for all first aid needs. In addition to the Health Centre, all programme areas have access to fully stocked first aid kits, and each staff member carries a first aid with them on hand at all time. A local doctor  by the name of Dr. Rae and the Huntsville Hospital (approximately a 25 minute drive from camp) are on call and available in case of a more serious incident or injury.

Should our participants require medication, please note that student meds can be safely stored at The Glen Mhor Site in either the Health Centre or in our locked medication bin. Please note that it is not the responsibility of the Glen Mhor Staff to dispense medication.

Fox Den

The Fox Den is our main craft facility where all of our campers creative ideas come alive! The Fox Den is used both in our spring and summer programming.

Thicket

Cairn’s administration and main office is located within the Thicket. It is also the where the Directors of Cairn at Baysville live for the season.

Haven Village

The Haven Village is our Staff Accommodation area. It houses one main building and three smaller bunkies, plus our staff washhouse.

Cairn Privacy Policy

Your Privacy is Very Important to Us.

Cairn is committed to keep your family’s personal and health information safe & confidential. Your privacy is very important to us. We are always reviewing and revising policies and procedures to further protect the privacy of your information.

What Type of Information is Collected?

To provide your family with quality care at Cairn we collect both personal & health information. Your camper(s)’ date of birth, address, email address, Health Card number and personal history are examples of personal information. Your camper(s)’ health history and the records of medical care during visits to the health centre are some examples of your health information.

How is your Information Used?

The information that we collect from you is used:

• • to provide your family members with quality care while they are at Cairn
  • to carry out quality assurance to make us better
  • for satisfaction surveys to see how we are doing
  • to comply with legal and regulatory requirements
  • for fundraising for equipment and facilities to provide you with the most safe and developmentally appropriate services
  • for research to make Presbyterian Church camping the best we can and to help develop new programmes and facilities for the future

Do We Share Your Information With Anyone?

Cairn may need to share the information we collect with health care providers that become part of our Health Care Team (ie. the camp physician, Huntsville Memorial Hospital , Bracebridge Hospital ) in case healthcare is required that is beyond the scope of our Health Centre equipment or staff.

Cairn may also provide personal information to camp consultants and professional advisors hired to assist us to function and provide a safe, quality programme for your family. This will only be done by sharing the minimum amount of information required to help a consultant form a plan for future development or assess our place in the camping community.

What about Rock Talk – the online newsletter?

Any emails that are used for Rock Talk will be used for that purpose only. The email version of the online newsletter will be only sent to those who specifically ask to be added the list or those who check off “Please send email newsletter” on a registration form. That list will be used only for the newsletter or to contact families with urgent or important information about the camp.

No group outside of the Cairn organization will be sold or “rented” the Rock Talk list.

Inside a Glen Mhor/Outdoor Ed. Cabin

For those who have never been to Cairn’s Glen Mhor programme here is what a typical cabin looks like.

All of our cabins are built on the same model and come with 10 or 12 beds and electricity.  The main lodge with the dining hall and washrooms with showers are only a 2 minute walk from the farthest cabin.
