Silver Lake Camp

Silver Lake Camp Silver Lake is a welcoming overnight camp for children and youth ages 6–17.

From classic camp fun to outdoor adventures, campers unplug, make friends, explore nature, and grow in confidence and faith—all in a caring community where they truly belong. Silver Lake Camp is situated on a 225 acre site overlooking Silver Lake, at Kinloss off Highway 9. Its open green fields and sparkling waterfront are nestled within surrounding forests. The camp offers programs for children o

f all ages, with 3 and 4 night camps for younger children to week-long camps for teens. At the end of the summer we nearly double our staff for an unforgettable youth experience. With both main site camps and wilderness camps to choose from, there is something for everyone! Our programs offer lots of exciting activities: lake swimming, canoeing, water games, arts and crafts, drama, archery, sports, low ropes course, overnight campouts, cookouts, silly games, co-operative games and camp-wide games. When not adventuring, campers enjoy worship and singing, skits, small group discussion and plenty of free time to explore, hang-out and meet new friends. The wilderness program includes many of the main site activities, but also includes a special focus on basic camping skills, nature and teaching about God's creation. All main site camps hold 60-70 campers, while wilderness camps hold 15-20 campers per session.

What a great day at camp!

Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time, energy, and skills at our annual Work Bee. From cleaning and repairs to landscaping and countless other projects, your hard work has helped prepare Silver Lake for another amazing summer ☀️

A special thank you to Rhonda and Crystal for organizing the day and coordinating the many projects and volunteers. Thank you as well to our kitchen crew (Walter, Sharon, Dawn) for preparing and serving a delicious hot roast beef lunch that kept everyone fueled throughout the day.

We are so grateful for a community that continues to show up, pitch in, and invest in our camp ministry ❤️

Camp friends! 🌲☀️

Tomorrow, Silver Lake is headed to The United Church of Canada's Western Ontario Waterways Regional Council meeting with a mission — dreaming of ways to get MORE kids to experience the JOY of camp!

We'll be exploring the top reasons that might keep kids from camp. You can join the fun online too! Cast your vote by 'liking' the image that you think represents the main reason kids might be missing out this summer.

Together, let's spread the word about our inclusive, affordable camp where every child can unwind, disconnect, and have fun! There is still room for more kids to join us this summer! 🎉
