Letters and notes left with staff at check-in are a super way to stay connected with your child during their week.

However, if there is an urgent situation in which you need to contact your child directly please call our main number at 613-757-2869

A variety of foods are offered at each mealtime and although minor sensitivities can be accommodated within the set menu, we are unable to cater to all food allergies. Dietary needs and allergies should be identified at registration.

The short answer is 'no.' BBC is open for all walks of life to attend. Bonnechere being 'Baptist' does not mean only 'Baptists' can attend. What it does mean, however, is that the teachings and views expressed at BBC are those that align with the Baptist doctrine. BBC is connected to the North American Baptist Conference and our views reflect those of the NAB. For more info, check out the NAB statement of faith. A link can be found in the 'About us' page. Most importantly, all our views are centered firmly on biblical truth. Our chapels, devotions, songs, and even games are all meant to teach core biblical truths.

We do our best to accommodate cabin mate requests that are mutually agreeable.

No. The origin of Bonnechere Baptist Camp can only be described as a blessing from God. Given to us and sustained by the sweat and prayers of many individuals whose only goal was to glorify God. As such the camp is to be used only for God's glory and not for financial gain. However, that does not mean that the camp is exclusive. The camp has been used in the past by groups and churches who seek God's glory as well. If you are a Christian organization that is interested in using Bonnechere solely for the purposes of glorifying God please email the camp at bonnecherebaptistcamp@gmail.com.
