Dear friends, This week I had the joy of viewing a Heritage Copy of the Saint John's Bible . At Saint John's Abbey in Minneapolis, a team of calligraphers worked from 1998 to 2011 to create a hand-written, hand-illuminated Bible. It is simply stunning. The care, the art, the attention to detail, and the creativity are unparalleled. Someday I hope to see the original. Meanwhile, I will continue to flip through the digital version found on the website to be inspired by the Word

Dear friends, I love the Winter Olympics. My first memories are from Calgary '88. The Battle of the Brians, Elizabeth Manley, Eddie the Eagle and the Jamaican bobsled team are all memories that have stayed with me. Every four years I refresh my understanding of the rules of luge, biathalon, moguls, and ski jumping. I especially love figure skating and the highlights for me were watching Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier win bronze and Alyssa Lui win gold. But my favourite moment

Volunteers of Kintail (VOK) Volunteers of Kintail (VOK) is a long-standing program and a meaningful part of the camp experience. VOK offers an opportunity to give back to the Kintail community while earning community service hours that count toward high school graduation requirements.

We hope your winter holiday was filled with rest, the warmth of community, and the quiet promise of a season about to turn. Over the past few weeks, camp has experienced the full spectrum of winter. Snow, rain, wind, and bright sun have each left their mark. The lake, especially, has been in constant motion. Entire ice shelves appear and disappear in a matter of days. Come spring, one week reveals meters of open sand, the next brings waves lapping right up against the deck. T

We are a week away from An Especially Special Night at Camp Kintail. On Saturday, November 29 th , 2025, the camp is thrilled to welcome our friends and supporters to share in food, conversation, and both silent and live auctions! You all know that every day is a special day at Camp Kintail, but this year’s event really does feel especially special.

Dear friends, We are so excited that the new maintenance shed is almost complete - and we hope you will be able to come and see if for yourself at An Especially Special Night. But I wanted to take the time to celebrate the current maintenance shed, which has served Camp Kintail for the last 45 years. If those walls could talk, I am sure there would be a lot of stories! For in the maintenance shed, so many projects have emerged - bunkbeds, doors, shelves, campfire circles, ben

Dear friends, Being human is never easy. Raising kids is complicated. We are not meant to be on our own and we are at our best when we are surrounded by community. Studies over the past twenty years have pointed out that North Americans are spending more time alone (and on screens) and less time with others. We participate in fewer sports teams and service groups, rarely invite friends over for a meal, and mostly stay home on Sunday mornings. There are lots of reasons for th

There can never be an off season at Camp Kintail when so much love is poured into this place and its people. - Grace "Koru" Jordain It’s getting to that time of year where we get asked if camp is open year round. The short answer is yes, the long answer is that there is never an off season. When we don't have guests we continue to improve the camp. Whether it’s a day of clearing dead trees, moving gear over to the new maintenance shed, deep cleaning harmony house as the staf
