“Come unto me you who labour and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
Kumuntome is a summer camp for Christian families. We are three miles from Berkeley, Ontario on 75 acres,
half of which is maple woods. A refreshing walk
through the woods will bring you to Black’s Lake. This is a small, clean lake with a raft, dock, canoes,
rowboats, and a sandy-bottom shallow section for
children. Each family
has their own sleeping cabin. You cook your own
meals and eat in your own dining area in the central
cookhouse. Each individual family dining area comes complete with a fridge, stove, coffee maker, toaster and cupboards. The staff of Camp Director and aquatic
supervisor is aided by volunteer counsellors and host
family. The cabins are electrically heated and have enough beds
for large families. The cookhouse
offers fridges, stoves, dishes, cups, pots,
pans, kettles, cutlery, and dishtowels. The Camp’s
water supply is from a spring fed well. The washroom
facilities have flush toilets, sinks, private showers
and baby change area. We have a large, centrally
located play area with a roofed sandbox, as well as
a large stone barbeque. The town of Markdale, 15
minutes from Camp, offers shopping, a laundromat,
hospital, Church and library. Camp Kumuntome provides a unique holiday for
families with its community atmosphere and through
the various activities offered. The program includes
swimming, boating, daily Liturgy, campfires, hayride,
hiking and “talent night”. Also, our counsellors organize
activities for the children to allow opportunities
for adults to discuss our faith and family life. ARRIVAL TIME: after 2 p.m. Sunday
