Description: |
Camp Mini-Yo-We is a year round Christian Camp that is committed to introducing children and young people to the message of Jesus Christ from the Bible through a camping experience that incorporates practical spiritual teaching, skill development, physical activity, friendship and lots of fun.In 1945, several Sunday school teachers and superintendents from a number of Brethern churches in Toronto saw the need to take children out of the city, let them get to know God in the beauty of His creation and share with them the gospel of Jesus Christ. A committee was appointed and in 1946, the first summer program was held using rented facilities at Fair havens Bible Conference on the Trent River near Beaverton. The camp was called The Fountain of Living Waters (John 13:4). Tents were erected and the first camps were held in August 1946 - one for 50 boys and one for 50 girls. The next year, property was purchased on Mary Lake in Muskoka, the name was changed to Camp Mini-Yo-We and the camp was incorporated. "Mini-Yo-We" is a phrase from the Dakota Sioux tribe meaning a "fountain" or "spring of water".
Today, Camp Mini-Yo-We operates 4 camp sites: South Camp (girls Camp), Chemawa (Junior Camp), Edgewoods (Boys Camp) and Northwoods. Each site has a lodge and is divided into section of cabins. In total, Camp can accommodate up to 350 campers per week during the summer and 90 plus guests during the Fall, Winter and Spring. For the past few years, over 100 children have made first time faith commitments to Jesus Christ each year.
