A major element of our support for Mooreland's Community Services is our annual work weekend at Moorelands camp near Dorset. The weekend is a joint effort with parishioners from St. John’s, St Timothy’s and Grace Church On-the-Hill. Held annually in mid-September, we meet at the camp and provide assistance in preparing the property for winter.

The camp provides an exciting and refreshing summer holiday for almost 600 needy Toronto children each summer. See www.moorelands.org for more details.

Every year our families, youth and friends assist with clean-up, maintenance and other “odd jobs”.

We sleep Friday and Saturday nights in the campers’ cabins, take our meals in the award winning designed dining hall. All day Saturday and for a couple of hours on Sunday we have great fun doing ‘roll-up-your-sleeves’ outreach such as planting, painting, cleaning, carrying, organizing, laughing and chatting with friends new and old

It is a wonderful opportunity to become involved in a meaningful way, meet like-minded people, and serve the children who are the focus of Moorelands.

Families and singles, and all ages are welcome. You don’t have to be very handy to do some of the chores and this is a chance for fellowship, a way to help others and a weekend at a very beautiful summer camp! There is a nominal charge of approximately per person of about $50 for food and we usually car pool, so a ride is available if you need it!

Plan to come along this September!
