Loon Bay Camp


WELCOME TO LOON BAY CAMP


Loon Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador​

Where God is Experienced Through Nature

Welcome to the website for Loon Bay Camp of The United Church of Canada. 
The Loon Bay Camping Centre was established in the late 1950s and early 1960s when the property was acquired from the Luscombe and Manuel families.

​Many hundreds of adults have very pleasant memories of time spent at Loon Bay Camp as youth, and the tradition continues today. In addition to summer youth camps, various adult and other youth groups regularly rent the camp for meetings and/or recreation.


About Us


Our mission is to provide through the ministry of camping, with God's help, an experience of Christian community learning for all people,shown in an outdoor setting as part of the fabric of education, outreach, and evangelism of The United Church of Canada.
​Camp Board endeavours to make the camp experience available to as many children as possible.  

Each camper is responsible for the following personal items:

• sleeping bag / pillow / flashlight

• notebook / pen

• swim wear / sunscreen / sunglasses / fly dope( camp 
chair is optional )

• rain wear / rain boots / cap or hat

• changes of clothing

• towels / face clothes / toiletries
Camp activities may vary from age to age:

• Arts and Crafts

• Sports and Games

• Nature Study / Hiking

• Swimming / Canoeing

• Bible Study
Traditionally each camp has both a Talent Show and a Social Nite. Please feel free to bring items needed for these events.

Canteen services are available to campers. Your child will require canteen money. Snacks are provided for all campers in the afternoons.

Many campers and staff have food allergies, so we ask you NOT to send snacks with your campers.
We also ask that cell phones and electronics be kept at home. We want the campers engaged with God, nature, each other and the staff.
There are so many wonderful activities at camp that the on-line world cannot provide.
We also cannot provide security if phones are broken or go missing.

Health care at camp is provided by a trained First Aider unless a volunteer nurse is available.

We also make every effort to accommodate campers with medical problems or disabilities. ​​
