Cancelled-Camp Awesome-Bees For Peace Summer Camp, Aug 8-11, 2023

We are sorry that we are cancelling the Bees For Peace Summer Camp. We hope to offer the camp in 2024.

Kids and youth ages 5-12 are welcome to join our 4-day summer camp.

We will learn about native bees and gardens and how they relate to life of Earth. Gain knowledge about the hidden community that we live with: the pollinators! Fun, games and activities. Strengthen our connection to community, spirituality and nature!

Date- Cancelled

Time- Cancelled

Location- Pioneer Memorial United Church, 2370 Hwy 60, Hillside, ON P0A 1H0

In partnership with the ministry of Rev Jeffrey Dale of Shining Waters Region and Carrie Doh of Bees for Peace, Lake of Bays Camp Awesome  will be holding a short summer morning camp during the week right after the long weekend at the beginning of August. Mark these days on your calendar. More information will be coming very soon. It's the perfect moment for Muskoka grandparents to extend that long weekend visit with the grandkids. They will have a wonderful fun-filled, spirited, buzzing, learning experience with other kids in the morning and then you will have afternoons free with them for swimming and canoeing and hiking and boardgames and all the other wonderful summer stuff we do here in Muskoka.

Let's join together to save the bees and work with them to pollinate our world.
