Camp Wenonah



Jeff Bradshaw was our host at Camp Wenonah and hats off to Jeff and his staff for our greeting. We were greeted by a table at the end of the floating dock (right) covered with fabulous food and beautiful Canadian wine and beer.


The lake that surrounded this spot was completely covered in trees in full Autumn colour and for us Australians the colours were more vibrant than any we had seen before.


This was the perfect way to start our last camp visit for the day and as you can see from the photo at right I was flat out working for our ACA members.
I believe I was drinking a Muskoka Dark Ale - and I can highly recommend it if you ever find yourself in this part of the world.
At the end of the camp tour Jeff showed us a slide show they had put together from their Summer camp. It was a very moving experience. The last part of the show highlighted the 'farewell circle' - an opportunity for all campers and staff to say goodbye at the end of Summer camp to all other campers and staff. Jeff described how emotional this was for campers and staff alike and the photos proved this - lots of tears and hugs - I was feeling emotional just watching.
Thank you Jeff for sharing this with us.
