Noronto Canoe Camp – Reflecting on 26 years of tradition

By John Morgan and Alfredo Zelaya, Noronto Canoe Camp Directors

For nearly 26 years, what began as a simple young adult canoe trip has grown into a well-loved tradition at Noronto Canoe Camp. This year, 20 participants joined us for a weekend of adventure, fellowship, and the chance to reconnect with both nature and one another.

Blessed with crisp September weather and the beauty of the changing season, our group paddled, explored, and shared in meaningful conversations by the water and around the campfire. The balance of wilderness challenge and quiet reflection continues to make Canoe Camp a unique and grounding experience.

Noronto Canoe Camp remains a cornerstone event for those seeking a step away from the noise of everyday life and into the stillness of creation. Building community is always our focus, and we are already looking forward to next year’s camp, scheduled for September 18–20, 2026. Mark your calendars — you will not want to miss it.
