 Theme: Choose Hope
A few years ago, Cathy Baker was getting her hair cut in Whitby when her stylist began talking about a wedding she’d just done hair for—at a beautiful rustic chapel tucked away in the woods. She described the incredible setting and showed Cathy a photo. That chapel, it turned out, was at Camp Noronto. Noronto is a place where stories unfold. It’s a place that lives in memory long after the week is over. This summer, we invite you to be part of the story—to join us for Reunion 2025 and help write the next chapter in this beloved space. This year’s theme, Choose Hope, invites us to come together with openness and courage as we learn, grow, and reconnect with one another. Whether you're returning or visiting for the first time, there’s space for you here—your presence, your story, your voice.
