Saplings – Ages 6 to 10

2026 Details To Be Announced

Saplings offers the perfect introduction to overnight camp for young campers. This 5-day, 4-night session lets campers explore a little bit of everything John Island has to offer, from canoeing, low ropes, and archery to crafts, nature activities, and team games. All swimming for Saplings campers takes place while wearing a lifejacket, ensuring a fun and safe waterfront experience.

Cabin Life
Each cabin has two counsellors who live with campers throughout the week. Cabin groups enjoy shared meals, plan small activities together, and participate in classic John Island traditions such as evening programs and campfires. With an earlier bedtime built into the schedule, Saplings is designed to help younger campers build confidence, try new adventures, and make lasting friendships in a supportive and fun environment.
