Your family will have a private cabin for the duration of your stay. This cabin will be your home base as you enjoy everything our center has to offer. All cabins have electricity, air-conditioning, hot and cold water, bathrooms and showers, a mini-fridge, a front porch that overlooks the lake, and a picnic table right next to it.
Each cabin sleeps up to 14 people, with 6 single bunk beds and two double beds.

Activities On Your Own
There is so much for you to do! Families are encouraged to go out on excursions in our nearby towns, Sauble Beach & Tobermory, and to explore the Bruce Trail as well as nearby national and provincial parks. We will have a list of nearby attractions for you to explore should you want some guidance.
NIGHT TIME
Each night we will run optional family-friendly group programming in our dining hall. From bingo, to minute to win it, to family feud, to trivia, we'll help the families on-site have fun with their kids and each other. You are also welcome to use any of the program areas that are open at night, which include our outdoor basketball courts, our indoor athletic facility, and three separate campfires.
