Camp Awesome at Bells Corners United Church

What is Camp Awesome?

Camp Awesome is a summer day camp and youth leadership development program that operates within the Eastern Ontario Outaouais Regional Council (EOORC) of The United Church of Canada.

Camp Awesome provides a full-day, active program for children. The program combines Vacation Bible School activities like stories, songs and crafts with games and theme day fun.

Through our programs, Camp Awesome strives to promote a sense of belonging to a faith community, encourage critical thinking, promote respect for others and the environment, and provide a safe and fun environment for social, personal and faith development.
