Leanne and the pre-camp crew have been hard at it in the garden. The school groups have “enjoyed” spinach and radishes (actually they really did enjoy them) and there’s plenty more to come – strawberries, raspberries, lettuce of all sorts, beans, tomatos, garlic, carrots, ground cherries and more!

Thanks to the generousity of the Bergen Family, we are in the process of building a new insulated cabin in place of Aspens. The piers are poured, the site is graded and Brubacher Contractors will work throughout the winter to have the cabin ready for Spring 2014. The new Aspens cabin will follow the same general design as Silverbirch and Dogwood but will be slightly larger to incorporate a larger entrance, additional storage and separate sleeping space for teachers visiting through our Outdoor Education program.

I am pleased, actually thrilled, to welcome Melanie Cameron to our leadership team. Many of you will know Melanie through her role as teacher at Rockway Mennonite Collegiate and/or mother of Brandon, Laika, Matthew and Rukhsana. Melanie is married to Mark Morton and lives in Kitchener where they attend Stirling Ave Mennonite Church. Melanie brings plenty of experience to the role including 5 years on staff at Silver Lake,1 year at Fraser Lake where she developed and led their CIT program and 5 years at Stirling Ave Mennonite Church as Youth Pastor. Melanie has an impressive educational background highlighted in her bio.
Melanie is an incredible person who I admire greatly. She’s passionate about camp and is excited to make a difference in the lives of campers and staff.
The new leadership team will consist of Rebekah Caldwell as Outdoor Education Director, Melanie Cameron as Summer Camp Director and myself as Executive Director.
Thank you for welcoming Melanie into this new role. As a leadership team we’ll continue to look for new ways of providing life changing experiences to children and we’ll remain attentive to the Holy Spirit to see what great things God has in-store for Silver Lake!
Sincerely,
David Erb, Executive Director

What a great weekend! The weather was perfect, lots of snow and moderate temperatures – perfect for getting outside!
Highlights from the Kids Perspective: Owl Prowl (we actually called in an owl!), skating on the lake, mini sticks in the dining hall, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing
Highlights from the Fathers Perspective: Saturday morning Globe and Mail (Silver Lake staff provided programming for the kids), skating on the lake, cross-country skiing and watching hockey night in Canada on the big screen in the dining hall.
Add the 2015 Fathers & Kids Retreat to your calendar – January 16-18, 2015.
