We said goodbye to our final summer campers last Friday and officially launch our fall programming today. A huge thank you to all the campers and staff for sharing photos for our photo contest- here are just a few of the entries we've received. This summer showed us over and over again the strength of our Widjiwagan community and we are so grateful. That's a wrap on summer 2026 and can't wait to see campers back in 2027!
