2024 CLCS "ROAR" Camp

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We are very excited to announce our next "ROAR" (Retreat, Overnight, Adventure, Responsibility) Camp on school farm house for all CLCS students! "Roar" also symbolizes for “roaring”, following the roar of the Lion of Judah, our Lord Jesus Christ!

Located 30 minutes north of Barrie, we will explore the intriguing historic sites, breath-taking nature, inspiring wildlife, singing around the campfire and the best of farm fun the Cottage County has to offer, with a sleep over at the rustic themed and beautifully decorated school farm house.

It is a great opportunity for students to practice being in charge of their own responsibilities such as taking care of belongings, food preparations/planning (dinner, breakfast, and lunch), time management, teamwork, meanwhile having tons of educational fun on the farm, beaches, historical sites building life-long friendship together!

Parents are welcome to come together with your child(children) as long as our capacity allows. Therefore, please register ASAP if parents would like to join too!
