SPECIAL EVENTS

QC All Camp

Each month the Q.C.'s spend time planning a program for the entire camp. This is a traditional event and helps to teach the Q.C.'s about planning, programming and co-operation. For the camp, it is a fun day when everyone gets involved. Each month is a different theme and it's always exciting to guess!

Strawberry Fest

This is a special evening in early July. Every one is split into teams; dress to the theme, play games, cheer your team on, you might even go pick strawberries for the whole camp!

Decathlon

Decathlon is another all-camp event that occurs on the last day of every month. The campers divide into their nations and participate in a large relay race that includes long and short distance running, swimming, rigging sailboats, kayaking, canoeing, building a fire, a three-legged race, leapfrog, archery, and much more. Everyone looks forward to this event; cheering for your nation and doing your best are a great culmination to the end of the month.

Native Gathering

The campers are divided into two nations upon arrival: Iroquois and Algonquin. The camper is part of that nation for life. We strive to ensure that family members are on the same nation as well. Through an election in the first days of camp, each section picks a nation leader. Nation leaders are chosen on the basis of their leadership qualities. It is a great honour and a big responsibility. Native Gathering is a highly anticipated event that really brings the nations together. Happening during the last week of each month, we play games, sing songs, and tell stories that help the girls to learn about aboriginal peoples and their customs.
