ABOUT US

Located in Dufferin County, just north of Shelburne, Ontario, Unicamp is within the UNESCO Niagara Escarpment Biosphere Reserve. It boasts 50 beautiful, peaceful acres of meadows, coniferous and deciduous forests, marshes, streams and two beaches on a 2.5-acre spring fed pond that is safe for swimming. This is a magical place to relax, explore and reconnect with self, community and nature.

Unicamp has indoor and outdoor showers, several outhouses, and washrooms in the cabins, the Dining Hall and the Spiritual Centre. You supply your own bedding, pillows and towels. Drinking water is available in all washrooms, at the outdoor sinks, and at several outdoor faucets.

Unicamp’s high quality UU values-based programs and activities enable this community to demonstrate a respect for our natural assets, for each other, and for the interdependent web of creation. Central to this programming is Unicamp’s mandate to organize, operate, and maintain camps with related services for children. We provide facilities for programs, seminars, leadership conferences, and workshops for a variety of ages.

Unicamp’s strength comes from its community; you are welcome to be a part of it! Campers are asked to help with chores, such as tidying their accommodations at the end of their stay. Each of us has special qualities and talents to share. Volunteer opportunities include: fundraising support, serving on a Committee, giving a hand with property maintenance during Work periods, facilitating a program during Family Week, Camp Caregiver (during Children’s Camps and Jouth), and more! Check in at the Admin building if you ever have free time to pitch in for a special Unicamp task.

We acknowledge and affirm that each of us has special qualities and talents to share. Campers are asked to help with chores such as tidying their dorm, cottage or campsite at the end of their stay, helping us to keep the Unicamp experience affordable for everyone and the environment community- and team-focused.
