Since 1925, Stayner Camp has been a place of relaxation, recreation, and worship for the Christian community and beyond. Each year, the camp attracts thousands of visitors year round, with many upholding family traditions that have endured for generations. The camp is open 365 days a year, but the summer family camp remains one of the biggest highlights of the community’s programming.
To celebrate the 100th anniversary, Stayner Camp has introduced a variety of special programming and entertainment from live music to keynote speakers, a summer family festival, arts and crafts, and a ceremonial tree planting to honour the camp’s origin. The anniversary celebrations fun from August 1st-4th, and the event is open to all members of the community, including those who are not currently staying at the camp.
