2025 Staff Commissioning

Anyone and everyone is invited to Staff Commissioning! Family and friends of the 2025 Kintail staff are encouraged to visit and support the amazing young adults who work so hard to make camp especially special for hundreds of campers each summer. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet the people your loved one is going to be talking about for years to come and to see all the places they've been telling you about!

What should I wear:

Anything comfortable and weather appropriate! Most of the day's events will happen outside.

3:30-4:00 Arrival

Arrive at the camp and park in the main lot (immediately to the right when you enter camp), on the tree line (immediately to the left), or on the lane along the right hand side. Follow the lane by foot to the Kintail chapel! Washrooms located on the way in MacDonald Lodge or at Harmony House closer to the chapel.

4:00-5:15 Commissioning and Tree Ceremony

Commissioning: A worship service for all ages will be held. The staff will sing and praise together while they are all blessed in their endeavour to change the lives of children and young adults all summer long! The service is open to all!

Tree Ceremony: At the end of the commissioning, guests go from the chapel to the tree garden to celebrate members of the Kintail community who have dedicated 5 years of service to Kintail.

5:20 Dinner

After the commissioning and tree ceremony, everyone is invited to dine with us! A delicious buffet will be open for all and you can enjoy your meal on the covered patio and on picnic tables around MacDonald Lodge! Limited seating is available in the dining hall.

After Dinner

Walk to the beach, take photos of the sunset, and head home at your own pace. Drop off any treats or care packages for your staff member and have a safe drive home! We're so happy you joined us!
