Sojourn Goes Camping 2025!
Good afternoon Sojourn!
Next weekend we have an opportunity to participate in our annual church retreat weekend. I am so excited for this opportunity to relax and spend time in creation together!
This year it will be taking place on “SITE SEVEN” at King’s Camp, 969 Kings Row, Dunnville, ON. You are welcome to camp overnight or join us for the evening/day on Friday or Saturday!
This is a private camping area on Lake Erie, and we will be on the site looking out at the lake. The beach is good but the water can be wavy - all children are advised to wear a life jacket.
There is a building onsite for areas to sit and play games with running water, a fridge/stove, running water, two bathrooms, and electricity. The water is potable, but you may want to provide your family with drinking water for the weekend. Byng conservation area is about 5 minutes from the park, and has a 1.85 acre swimming pool (the largest outdoor pool in Canada.) It has a wading area and spray pad for youngsters, as well as a deeper zone with a diving board. We are responsible for removing our own garbage from the site before leaving. Please provide your own dishes for the weekend.
Camping/visiting fees as follows (bring cash or e-transfer allisondekker@gmail.com):
$45/family/night of camping
