Listen to the birds, friendly laughter and other families sharing their Christian values and viewpoints. See woods that look like a cathedral, a quiet lake, nature at rest, the stars and maybe even the Northern Lights.

Camp Kumuntome is a summer camp for Christian families. We are three miles from Berkeley, Ontario on 75 acres, half of which is maple woods. A refreshing walk through the woods will bring you to Black’ s Lake. This is a small, clean lake with a raft, dock, canoes, rowboats, and a sandy-bottom shallow section for children.

We accommodate five families per week. Each family has their own sleeping cabin. You cook your own meals and eat in your own dining area in the central cookhouse. The staff consists of the Camp Director and the Aquatic Supervisor, aided by volunteer counsellors and a host family. A priest, when available, will say Mass daily in our chapel. At other times, a prayer service is held.

The cabins are electrically heated and have enough beds for large families. The cookhouse offers fridges, stoves, dishes, cups, pots, pans, kettles, and cutlery.

The Camp’s water supply is from a spring-fed well and is tested on a regular basis throughout the summer. The washroom facilities have flush toilets, sinks, and private showers.

We have a large, centrally located play area with a roofed sandbox, a small sports field, a basketball net, as well as an outdoor fire pit, and a barbecue. The town of Markdale is a 15 minute drive from Camp and offers shopping, a laundromat, a hospital, church, and a library.

Camp Kumuntome provides a unique holiday for families with its community atmosphere and through the various activities offered. The program includes swimming, boating, daily Liturgy, campfires, hiking and “talent night”. Also, our counselors organize activities for the children to allow opportunities for adults to discuss our faith and family life.

Indigenous Land Acknowledgment

Grey County

As Camp Kumuntome community, we feel it is important to acknowledge the land occupied with respect, the history, spirituality, and culture of the Anishiaabek, Six Nations of the Grand River, Haudenosaunee, and Wendat-Wyandot-Wyandotte peoples on whose traditional territories we gather and whose ancestors signed treaties with our ancestors. We also recognize the Metis and Inuit whose ancestors shared this land and these waters. May we all, as Treaty People, live with respect on this land, and live in peace and friendship with all its diverse peoples.
