This camp is for young adults and university students (17-40 years).

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I bring?
Jacket, hat, gloves, comfortable shoes for hiking. Bring warm, layerable clothes -- April in Niagara can be unpredictable. Pack one outfit you don't mind getting stained with colors, as we will be playing Holi sometime during the weekend.
Bring a bag, water bottle, notebook, and pen for reflection time! And enthusiasm. Lots of enthusiasm.
Which airport should I fly into?
You can fly into the Buffalo/Niagara airport or into Toronto Pearson (but Buffalo is closer to the Mission AND tickets are cheaper). We will be able to pick you up from either airport -- don't worry!
