How is Iona Going to Work?

I want to thank an Iona parent for taking the time to write us an email with some questions in the first year of CAIRN about how the Iona programme will work on the Baysville site.
He wrote:

I am trying to find out about Camp Iona Sessions.  When are they and what is being offered?  Is there somewhere that will give me a list of just Iona programs, because I am having trouble identifying what I would consider any Iona program based on the information presented.  Is there ONLY one white water canoe trip?  Are there any 6 day canoe trips?
Do you have any information on how you are running the new Iona.  What are its programs, philosophy, organization, new physical set up and how things are to work, and so on.

Thank you for that.
We have put up some information on the website with a more complete look at a day at Iona and the programmes available.  There is a description for parents and a separate description for campers of what the onsite programmes will be.

  • I am trying to find out about Camp Iona Sessions. When are they and what is being offered? Is there somewhere that will give me a list of just Iona programs, because I am having
    trouble identifying what I would consider any Iona program based on the information presented.
    Here is a complete list of the Iona & Glen Mhor programmes available.
  • Is there ONLY one white water canoe trip? There is only one trip of this magnatude this summer.  It is going to be a ten day trip with challenging class II & III rapids.  Our other Senior Canoe Trips will be more lake-based but challenging.  They will be in remote areas (like northern Algonquin or Temagami) and will require campers to develop their skills in paddling, campcrafts and portaging.  Intermediate trips will be introductions to outtripping skills and will be based out of the Frost Centre (Haliburton Water Trails) or the “main street” of Algonquin.    There will also be Iona Hiking Trips this summer.
  • Are there any 6 day canoe trips? The six day trips are listed in the Summer Schedule.
  • Do you have any information on how you are running the new Iona? What are its programs, philosophy, organization, new physical set up and how things are to work,  and so on. I hope those pages on the website will explain things better.  If anyone has more questions you can post a comment after this blog entry or email us at info@ilovecamp.org
