Parent Info

When you arrive, you will be greeted by some of our staff. They will assist you in parking your vehicle. There are 3 shuttles that will whisk the campers, luggage and parents up to their respective cabins. Your camper will meet cabin leader and their friends that they have asked to be with.

Once your camper is settled in the cabin, you will take a casual stroll down to the office to finish the registration process. We know that registration is done online and you may have paid all your fees, but we need you to check in and go through the line. You will first get a medical sheet to be filled out and taken to the nurse. You will meet the nurse for the week. You can also stop at the skills window if you need to do any changes to your skills. Then stop at the payment window to settle any outstanding payments or to check-in.

After those preliminaries are done you may have the urge to visit our tuck shop and have a great ice cream cone. We do have a good selection of ice cream as well as other treats. We will be selling our merchandise at the Tuck Shop as well. You can buy a t-shirt, hoodie, water bottle, or even a Stoney sticker.

You are free to catch a ride back to your vehicle and head back for a quiet relaxing week minus your campers!

Please let me take you on a quick tour so that you will know what to expect. Each cabin is cleaned and ready to go for the week. You will notice that there is a nice deck with a canopy over it. Our campers love to sit out there in their free time.

We have a nice big washroom facility. There are 20 showers in it. Each shower has a private change room. There are lots of sinks and toilet facilities for your campers. We do have a crew that cleans that facility everyday. It sparkles!

We have a big multi purpose building. We use that for our chapel sessions and if there is inclement weather we use it as a gym.

If your campers are returnees, they may show you some of the things at camp and some of their favorites. Such as the low elements course in the big playing field. How about that climbing wall - it is 40 feet tall! In the playing field we have the gaga ball pit and the pelletry range.

Take a picturesque hike to the beach. There sits the tizzy boat – that is a fantastic new boat. The campers love the “Tizzy Tower”. There is a water slide, a high diving platform, 2 trampolines and a rope swing. What a rush that is!

On the beach you will see our water craft. We have an abundance of kayaks, lots of canoes, a 110-foot water slide, beach volley ball, a monster sand pile, a big dock with another rope swing, and a big swimming area that is roped off so that our lifeguards can keep your campers safe. Paddle boards and the blob are just behind the change house. Farther down the beach you can see our campfire pit. We have a big bonfire and teach survival skill at this point.

Then there is our watersports equipment. A big 24-foot pontoon boat sit moored at the dock waiting for campers to go for a ride. There is a smaller pontoon boat that our fishing campers use to catch that BIG one. Then there are the ski boats and the wakeboards, the tubes, the water skis, and the knee boards. All our campers are required to wear a PFD whenever they are on or using a watercraft. Just up the hill from the marina is our archery range.

Some of the other activities that we offer is a 9 post frisbee golf course. There is the handcraft shop where wondrous creations are made each day. Just north of that is a shop where campers can take a kit and build a rocket. They paint and assemble the unit for flight at the end of the week.

As you drove in, you passed our red and green barn. That is home to chickens, rabbits, piglets, ducks and other animals. Now that is an exciting place to see. The campers love to touch and hold the animals, and I think the animals like it as well.

For the more adventurous there is a paintball course. Each camper that participates has a complete lesson in safety. They use the clothes that Stoney supplies and under the watchful eye of the range master they play various games.

Some of the other activities that the kids love is: Bible memorization, our great chapel times with singing and messages, the night games, and all of the skills.

Our staff are trained for 10 days in an extensive training program that equips them to safely handle the activities that your campers will be involved in. Our lifeguards are NLS certified and all of our staff are required to go through our “In Safe Hands” program. You can even look at it on our website. Our staff are all grade 12 grads (minimum) and most are college age students that love to have your kids for a week.

Oh, I almost forgot the food. The campers seem to be famished morning, noon and night. They get a Stoney treat – baked oatmeal - occasionally for breakfast. The other meals could be mashed potatoes, gravy and all the fixing, spaghetti, pizza, subs, scrumptious roasts – well you get the idea. All our food comes from a federally inspected location whether it be meat or dry goods. PS we have our cooks bake fresh cookies many nights during the week for a bedtime snack.

It is easy to see why your kids are exhausted when they get home. We are a device free zone and believe that fabulous food, lots of supervised high energy activity and lots of sleep make for an unforgettable week adventure.

We always have a nurse on duty to administer the meds and patch up the occasional road rash that the campers can acquire.

I have saved the best for last. We are a Bible camp and we do teach God’s Word to our campers. We have amazing speakers that teach biblical morals to our campers. We have excellent worship bands and the kids learn new songs. Boy can they sing. Each day we spend time memorizing God’s word. Most of the campers that we talk to say that chapel time is their favorite part – well actually they love it all!
