Junior Guides School
A week at camp, each day packed with a balance of learning and fun. Past years have included:
- Skill sessions such as canoeing, archery, rifle safety, map and compass, survival, and trapping.
- Outdoor living lessons like bannock making, knot tying, fishing, and blood trail tracking.
- Recreation and tradition with swimming, campfires, fun evening events, and the closing-day pie auction.
Campers gain confidence, independence, and lasting memories while enjoying time in the outdoors under the guidance of experienced instructors.

Hollow Log Cafe
Our little community is the kind of place where everyone knows your name, and a wave or a smile is never far away. Life moves gently here, marked not by traffic lights or rush hours, but by the changing seasons, the sounds of loons on the lake, and the familiar gatherings that bring us together year after year.
