With the recent Ontario Government decision, Apple Hill is closing on 26 December and (hopefully) reopening on 25 January. If you have a reservation, it will be cancelled, rangers will contact you. No new reservations will be accepted during this time.

Camp Closed Temporarily!!!
Due to Covid-19, Scouts Canada has made the decision to temporarily close all camps, until at least May 4th. Given the severity of the situation with Covid-19, it certainly is the right decision.
Stay tuned…..once the camp is open once again, we will let you know where and on our Facebook page.

Sowing Seeds
Ranger Mike Mazur and our Camp Chair, Peter Smith, have been creating a pollonation area in the NE Field.
Last Spring they roped off an area and started planting seeds and bulbs. They dry July didn’t help, but several plants did come up and provided some energy into the Fall.
On Work Day, we sowed seeds for the future. Milkweed, wild roses (Rosa Rugosa), lupins and poppies (Vimy edition).
Please contact us if your youth want to help by sowing seeds, planting bulbs or building and installing bee cottages. Perfect projects for Section Awards projects.
