Camp Life

Accommodations

Students share double rooms in cottages grouped around a small lake. The camp residence is operated by a local couple, affectionately known as “The Ogilvies”. Students are supervised by two Residence Recreation Supervisors – Res. Recs., one male and one female university student who live on site with the students.

The cottages are equipped with a full bathroom, 3-4 bedrooms, a kitchen and a common room. While there are kitchen facilities, all students must take their main meals together in the main dining hall.

The DRSA recognizes that students need downtime. The facility is located on a beautiful 400 acre piece of property just outside the town of Deep River. There is a beach for swimming, canoeing and general lounging. If you like astronomy, bring your telescope! The area is free from light pollution, and we give students plenty of outdoor time to watch the skies. However, students must respect curfew.

Students get the opportunity to go into town for shopping several times a week. Weekend trips are organized to areas in and around Deep River. Three regular trips include High Falls, Barron Canyon and an overnight trip to Ottawa.
