Camp Wendake is a one-week retreat camp located just outside of Bayfield, for children and adults living with HIV/AIDS and their primary caregivers. It gives people infected or affected by this disease a chance to be in a supportive environment with peers facing similar challenges in their daily lives. Camp Wendake promotes spiritual healing, physical well being and a chance for social interactions, which many people living with HIV/AIDS do not otherwise have in their lives. Operational costs are estimated to be approximately $25,000 for one week of camping. We rely solely on private donations to cover these costs.

The site of the camp is Huron Church Camp, owned by the Anglican Church. We are grateful that they support us by dedicating the camp site for our use on the week preceding Labour Day. The AIDS Committee of the (Anglican) Diocese of Huron supports the camp financially each year.

Donations in kind have been generously granted by Huron Church Camp, Culligan, Greyhound Bus Lines, The Bluewater Summer Playhouse in Kincardine, and Aboutown Transportation. We have indeed been fortunate to receive the continued support of these organizations.

Finally, each year member of the Wendake Camp Operations Committee gives generously of their time throughout the year to organize and administrate the camp. The camp staff donate their time and expertise for the week of camp.
