In 1993, D.P. Murphy Group of Companies leased the camp from the Catholic Family Services Bureau and is now in the 29th year of operation. Each year, there are seven to eight day camp sessions with approximately 70 kids at each session (chosen by School Counsellors across Prince Edward Island) welcoming a total of 420 children every year. Children enjoy fun activities such as swimming, drama, daytrips, arts and crafts, nature hikes and much more.
Cost and supplies used by the camp are graciously subsidized by individual donors and many Island businesses. The camp also has a payroll donation program where D.P. Murphy Group team members can contribute to help send a child to the camp, and in doing so help us reach our aim to help children:
Develop self - respect and confidence
Build positive connections with others
Achieve physical fitness and mental well - being
Appreciate and gain knowledge of the environment
Use skills responsibly and improve their capacity for leadership
