Marygrove Camp
Marygrove
Camp is a residential camp situated on
Georgian Bay
, near
Penetang
,
Ontario
. Open to eligible
girls ages 5 – 13, Marygrove provides an 8 day camping
experience for children who may not otherwise have the
opportunity to enjoy a camping adventure.
Families who are experiencing financial or domestic
hardship may contact the Society to determine their
eligibility.
The
Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Toronto Central Council, helps
over 1,000 girls each summer, registering eligible campers
through home visits. Each
camper’s holiday is fully subsidized through the generous
support of an annual
Camp
Collection
held in the parishes
throughout the Archdiocese of Toronto.
What’s
it like up there?
Picture
39 acres of beautifully treed grounds, a quarter mile of
waterfront, with sandy beaches and a football size playing
field. Now
picture yourself enjoying nothing but fresh air, good friends
and the great outdoors and you have just captured the wonder
of Marygrove Camp.
Campers
participate in a full range of activities, including swimming,
canoeing, crafts, drama, sports, co-operative games,
cook-outs, sleepovers, hikes, star gazing and camp fires.
Our location on

area. Each
session celebrates a special theme recognizing our favorite
seasons and events throughout the year.
