Kayaking & rock climbing… Horseback riding & the ropes course…Swimming in the lake & canoeing… Water skiing & sailing… Campfires and singing!! SUMMER CAMP! It was the place where I learned so much about myself, made some incredible life long friends AND finally felt closer to the Creator.
Now here’s where I let you in on a little secret – camp isn’t just for July & August! Some of the most beautiful places in Ontario for weekend conferences and retreats are the same camps I was just talking about. Camp Mini-Yo-We, Fair Havens, Ontario Pioneer Camp & Camp Kwasind.
Yup – you can experience the outdoors and fun of summer camp, throughout the entire year. Register your son or daughter OR your entire family today – before the best weeks of summer camp are full! OR… book a weekend retreat for your small group or church before the summer gets here, and be prepared for a life changing experience! INVEST IN YOUR SOUL TODAY!
Fair Havens Ministries, located north of Beaverton, Ontario is a Christian, non-profit organization owned by the Associated Gospel Churches of Canada. For over 75 years we have been about life change and a desire to see all who cross our path or journey with us be drawn into a closer relationship with God and with family and friends. We do this through the provision and facilitation of unique life changing experiences. Fair Havens Ministries is composed of Summer Family Camp, Retreat Centre, Outdoor Christian Education Centre, as well as a Youth Discipleship program known as Stepping Stones. Though Fair Havens is a busy year-round operation, it is probably best known for its 9 weeks of yearly Summer Family Camp. During this time (July – August), Fair Havens welcomes more than 3000 guests to its grounds to enjoy a week, or more, camping, or staying in one of our accommodations or rental trailers. Each week, guests can take part in daily chapel sessions and morning adult activities while their children and youth are provided with up to 5 hours of programming.
reFresh, reFocus and reConnect at Fair Havens this summer!

LISTEN TO OUR INTERVIEW WITH CAMP DIRECTOR MATT WILKINSON!
The Drew Marshall Show ran for 16 years but came to an end on June 29th 2019.
However, Drew has decided to leave the interview archives online and available for you.
So enjoy!
We are currently experiencing some technical difficulties with our site. This means that all audio archives can only be listened to with a computer and not a mobile device. Our apologies. We are looking into this.
DREW WHO? Since 2003, Drew Marshall has talked to everyone about whatever it is they believe, in a very light-hearted manner and with absolutely zero agenda, aside from a genuine personal curiosity to understand “belief”. Drew was adopted, grew up in a funeral home, survived a teenage suicide attempt, dropped out of school in Grade 9, ran away to California to be a wrangler, played semi-pro football with NFL/CFL tryouts, drove around North America volunteering for charities, tried to be a firefighter & a rodeo cowboy, was a stay at home dad, has worked a little in film and TV, became a Pastor in Australia and studied stand-up comedy & improv at Second City Toronto. These days he’s a hospital chaplain and hosts Canada’s most listened to spiritual talk show. He’s interviewed hundreds of celebrities & cultural icons about their beliefs or lack thereof. Struggling with his own faith, Drew sacrificed his eyesight for the last week of Lent, paid non-believers to go to church, drank with witches, celebrated with Wiccans, visited with Satanists, walked 1000 KM’s on the Camino de Santiago, then spent time writing in a monastery on an island off the coast of the Western Sahara during a three month vow of silence. Basically, he’s “Red Letter”, wandering, autodidactic iconoclast with agnostic tendencies and a microphone - a skeptical believer on an irreverent search for the sacred!
*Should you wish to reach out to Drew directly, please use the contact page. It might take a while for him to respond though, as he now lives on a farm and is no longer addicted to technology. (Which is a good thing as he's trying to write a stupid book and gets distracted easi - SQUIRREL!)
CAUTION: DO NOT CONTINUE IF YOU ARE 100% CERTAIN ABOUT YOUR BELIEFS
