Cairn is an incredible place that we trust implicitly with the care of our family. Their programs are safe and community-centric - from the kids summer camp programs to the wonderful retreats. I hope that everyone has the opportunity to experience the intentionality of the people and programs at Cairn.

Last weekend our family spent a day at Camp Cairn's Family Camp. We brought our three grandchildren with us. They had a fabulous day. From swimming, to the climbing wall, to face painting it was an active, fun day. The dining hall ceiling is adorned with ceremonial paddles celebrating 5 to 30 years of individuals' attendance/affiliation at Cairn. The place simply attracts that kind of love and affinity. We had a great day making memories and look forward to many more.

Camp Cairn holds a special place in the hearts of our immediate and extended family. It is situated on a small quiet lake in the beautiful Lake of Bays area. The staff and volunteers work incredibly hard to make the camp a welcome and inclusive environment. The director Michelle knows every camper and staff by name and nickname. She is hands on everyday with her exceptional experience and guidance. Staff are chosen carefully and are quickly part of the camp community. Our family has been going to family camp for the last 7 years. We are amazed to see alumni coming from several decades with their grandchildren sharing their memories and creating new ones.

If you're looking for a camp that's safe, supportive, and tons of fun, set on a beautiful quiet lake among acres of forested trails and fields, Glen Mhor (Cairn) is the place! The staff are enthusiastic, attentive, caring, and inclusive. Campers are invited to challenge themselves, connect in community, and explore their faith to whatever degree is comfortable for them. There is no hazing or forcing or preaching or pushing at this camp.
I have attended Glen Mhor for 18 years - 6 as a camper, 6 as staff, and 6 as a family camper and volunteer! My kids have been going for more than a decade and look forward to becoming staff themselves one day.365 D.August 2021
The fellowship experienced here could have been more positive. The cabins are minimal. The food.... bring snacks. But the warmth of the staff upon arrival was lovely. Don’t forget the bug repellent! I would recommend “Away At The Lake“ programming to anyone who wanted to have a Christian experience with their family. The staff make it worth the trip.

Do not bring your child here!!! A boy came here who's father committed suicide so he was misbehaving. They are not equipped to care for kids that have any issue. This is suppose to be a Christian camp and the confidentiality was broken this year when they decided to not inform the mother that the child was not welcomed. The child was packed and ready to go and then was told NO by the third party. (The camp told the third party he was not welcome) Instead they decided to share everything from last year to the third party. Very disappointed because the boy is now in martial arts and on meds. (Totally different kid) The last week he went they had him in a cabin all day by…
