Now that our campers have gone home, we are performing a facelift on Merrick Lodge.  The cedar shingles are coming off to make room for some updated siding!  Check out the progress thus far: Lodge Reno 2010.

Sunday, August 29 to Wednesday, September 1

Bring the whole family along for a fantastic end-of-summer camping experience: Family Work Camp!

WHAT’S A WORK CAMP?

Besides experiencing all the activities that normally take place at a Kingswood Camp, we will be spending 3-4 hours per day doing various work projects around the camp to clean up from a busy summer camping season, to prepare for future site developments and to undertake some much needed maintenance to our existing facilities.  There will be a job for each ability from cleaning, to painting to shingling to shovelling.  We will also be including plenty of time to relax and enjoy the camp facilities.  There will be a morning and evening worship time and evening vespers with a special speaker focusing on our Revolution theme.

COST?

• $30 per adult/teen
• $15 per child (12 and under)
• $100 maximum per family

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

• Bunk space in either an indoor or outdoor cabin, or bring along your own tent or trailer (sorry, no hook-up services are available)
• Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner + Campfire Snacks
• A chance for the whole family to enjoy a fantastic outdoor camping experience
• Programming for children, teens and adult as well as combined family activities that include; canoeing, archery, field games, soccer, water and beach activities, swimming, ropes course, nature walks and much more
