2024 Glen Mhor Schedule
Week 1: July 7-13
Glen Mhor Classic 1 (age 7-13)

They also come together with the whole camp at Mhorning Has Broken to start the day together, swim in the lake every day at Free Swim, play a daily camp-wide game, and close the night together at campfire. Come spend a week immersed in the beauty of creation, having fun, learning new skills, and making lifelong friends. A week at Glen Mhor Classic is waiting for you! Register here.
Pay it Forward (age 14-16)
Ready to change the world by Paying It Forward? Spend a week not only learning about servanthood, but practicing it. Whether it’s kindness shown through helping an individual, or taking on a work project for the benefit of all of camp, PIFs have the chance to practice true servant leadership in so many ways. Throughout the week, PIFs earn between 25 and 30 community service hours that can be put towards their high school diploma requirements. Pay it Forward is about giving back and making an impact with that familiar camp spirit. We can’t wait to see you there! Register here.
Week 2: July 14-20
Tracks (age 7-14)
This week follows a camper-choice model of camp programming, where campers have the opportunity to choose two "tracks", or activities that they get to choose themselves. Campers' Tracks give them the chance to delve deeper into their favourite parts of camp, which means they get to their favourite camp activities every day! Different Tracks activities will be designed for junior, intermediate, and teen campers, so everything is tailored to an age-appropriate level - for example arts and crafts for Juniors, bushcraft for Intermediates, and fine art for Teens. Campers will also participate in classic Glen Mhor activities in their cabin groups and enjoy all that camp has to offer! Register here.
Week 2&3 (2-week Teen Leadership Program): July 14-27
Explore - Teen Introductory Leadership Program (age 14-15)
A program for aspiring leaders, Explore is a two-week session for high-school-age teen campers who are curious to learn more about themselves and how to lead with empathy and purpose. Through team-building initiatives and skills-based programming, Explore will create opportunities for personal- and team-based exploration and discovery. Whether campers are hoping to continue into the Leader in Training (LIT) program, or for those who want to better understand their role as a leader within their community, this program will provide a foundation for how to be a thoughtful, servant leader. Explore invites teens to contribute to a positive teen community at camp this summer! Register here.
** Please note that is a two-week session, and pick-up is on Saturday July 27th
Week 3: July 21-27
Outrageous (age 7-13)
Welcome to a week unlike any other! Unexpected twists and silly fun are what define this camp program. Campers have the chance to influence the outrageous activities, putting their wacky ideas forward and have them drawn randomly throughout the week. In previous years, Outrageous camp has seen themed meals, like a pajama meal or a wacky hair meal; a camp-wide backwards day; and a truly outrageous messy afternoon that featured paint, whipped cream, and slime. One thing is for sure: camp is about to get OUTRAGEOUS. Register here.
Week 4: July 28-31
PeeWee Camp (age 5-7)
Got some young ones itching to come to camp for the first time? There is no better place to be a kid than at camp! PeeWee Camp will welcome our youngest campers for a four-day, three-night overnight camp experience, designed to introduce them to Cairn's summer camp program! Campers will swim, dance, play, sing, run, create, and even canoe to a nearby island for a special out-lunch. Everything is specifically designed to ensure that our youngest and newest campers have an outstanding experience, from kid-friendly meals, to an increased staff-to-camper ratio. We can’t wait to be a part of your child’s first camp experience! Register here.
** Please note that pick-up for this session is on Wednesday July 31st.
Junior Adventurers (age 7-10)
Looking for an adventure this summer? Junior Adventurers provides the opportunity for campers to romp-stomp around in the woods, run until we are tired, explore Echo Lake, and learn to find adventure around every corner. This 4-day program is a great introduction to camp for a first-time camper, or for a returning Cairn camper to introduce a friend to camp. It's also just a great chance for our young junior campers to get outside, seek adventure, and discover something new! Get ready for a great outdoor adventure! Register here.
