We will have health and safety measures in place as directed by public health, along with our own enhanced safety measures (ex: rapid tests upon arrival) and a contingency plan for potential pick up if a camper or staff develop symptoms while at camp.

We can’t wait to reconnect as a camp community and we hope to see you at the retreat or some future event. Who to Contact Stacey Brookshaw Nancy Brookshaw Beyond the Walls – Cry for Justice The prophet Amos spoke against increasing disparity between the wealthy and the poor in his time. His vision of God’s Kingdom is a call to social justice. This call resonates with us as we are called to boldly venture into a new understanding of what it means to be a church. How can we build Zion unless we address the social issues in our communities today? Let us explore our theme “Cry for Justice” with Nancy Ross, preaching live from St. St. George, Utah, and our global community of disciples and seekers.

As a community, we all know the power our camping programs have in positively impacting the lives of our youth. We have missed out on Kids Camp, Jr. High and Sr. High camping programming for the last few years and all of the joy, ministry and friendships they bring. We acknowledge that this summer is different for youth camping, with ongoing COVID precautions in place, however, the CEM Mission Centre President Team, CEM Camping Team and leaders in our youth camping community have been in discussions about a way to reconnect the youth during this camping season. It was through these discussions that brought us to planning and running a short Summer Youth Retreat at Ziontario Campgrounds for ages 13 - 18. The Summer Youth Reatreat will be held August 14th-17th and we hope it will give youth a chance to reconnect, recharge and enjoy time together as we look forward to Kids Camp, Junior High Camp and Sr. High Camp programming next year 🤞🤞. While we know that there is a risk of COVID-19 in our communities, we will prioritize outdoor programming and dining to limit exposure where possible. We will have health and safety measures in place as directed by public health, along with our own enhanced safety measures (ex: rapid tests upon arrival) and a contingency plan for potential pick up if a camper or staff develop symptoms while at camp. We know that each individual's comfort level varies and know that campers and staff will decide what is best for them when deciding to attend or not. We can’t wait to reconnect as a camp community and we hope to see you there. Registration forms and more details are coming soon! Stay tuned! To the Sr. High Camp Community,
Our team has been working extremely hard in preparation for your Sr. High Camp Community program to run this August. We were excited and hopeful about the chance to get together at Noronto and to embrace one another again. After two long years of being apart, we know that the community was hopeful as well. As you may know, the Ontario Health’s Chief Medical Officer has officially announced that we have entered a 7th wave of COVID-19 with the highly contagious Omicron BA.5 subvariant. The information shared indicates that this new wave is experiencing exponential growth and will peak over the next 4 weeks. We feel that it would be very difficult to mitigate the risk of a probable outbreak at camp. It is with deep regret, but with concern for the safety and well being of our community, and with the support of the CEM camping commission, we have made the difficult decision to postpone our 2022 Noronto Sr. High Camp. We are saddened by this reality but we know that our connection and love in this community is strong. Please take care of yourself and one another. We look forward to next year when past and new campers can continue in the Community Building experience! With love, Your 2022 Noronto Sr. High Camp Community Director Team *We are a scent-free retreat. Please refrain from using
perfume, after-shave, cologne, Axe Body Spray, etc. Thank you! **We are trying to keep the registration fee as low as possible so that all who want to attend may. An offering may be taken up during the retreat if costs exceed our income. ![]() Thursday, August 18 to Sunday, August 21 Maberly, Ontario The theme this year is geared towards superheroes!
