Church Visits

Cairn is once again on the road and heading to a variety of churches in our Synod to lead congregations in worship, song and prayer, with a little camp spirit.

We still have spaces available, so if you’re interested in having us come to your church, drop us a line at admin@ilovecamp.org. This could be a great way to get involved and raise some money to help send kids from your church or community to camp with a special camp lunch or fundraiser after the service.

If you’d like to join us in worship, we’ll be at the following churches over the next couple months:

Sunday, March 28: Dixie Presbyterian, Brampton

Sunday, April 11: First Presbyterian, Collingwood

Sunday, April 18: St. John’s Milliken, Scarborough

Sunday, April 18: St. Andrew’s, Orillia

Sunday, April 25: St. Andrew’s Presbyterian, Brampton

Calling all Alumni

We all know that camp creates lasting memories and lifelong friendships. Children come to camp, they engage and learn and grow and eventually step into new roles as counsellors and adventure programmers and LIT directors.

Inevitably, the time comes where many of us have to gather up the skills, knowledge and support we’ve received from camp over the years and move on to other jobs, other commitments and other places in the world.

But none of that means we have to disconnect ourselves from camp entirely! Once camp is a part of you, it’s hard to forget it. You can take the camper out of camp, but you can never take the camp out of the camper.

Cairn is pleased to announce that we now have a Cairn Alumni Committee. This committee is excited to provide alumni from all four of our camp programs with news, events, volunteer opportunities and ways to keep in touch with old camp friends.

The committee is currently made up of mostly Glen Mhor alumni, so if you are Iona, Dorothy Lake or Presbyterian Music Camp alumni and are interested in joining the committee, or volunteering, please contact us at alumni@ilovecamp.org.

The alumni committee’s first kick-off event was Friday, January 22 at Elephant & Castle in downtown Toronto. It was great to see so many alumni out from a few different generations! We shared stories, learned camp names and caught up with old friends.

Missed out on all the fun and memories?! Don’t worry! There will be another alumni event for all ages in the spring. Stay tuned for more information.

Be sure to follow Alumni News in upcoming newsletters, on Twitter (cairnalumni) and join the Facebook Fan Group: CairnAlumni. We can’t wait to catch up!
