Faith at Kintail
At Kintail we take joy in celebrating our faith together, in a fun and accepting outdoor setting!
Camp Kintail is a part of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, giving children and adults a Christian camping experience! At Kintail, our campers start and end their day with God. Each morning campers and staff gather together in our Outdoor Chapel to sing, praise, and learn about God before heading out to breakfast.
Once a day, cabins spend an hour of programming exploring their faith during our session known as FLASH (Faith, Learning and SHaring). FLASH is a child-orientated bible study full of games, singing and learning! Finally, before going to bed after campfire, campers have nightly cabin devotions.
Does my camper have to be Presbyterian/Christian to attend Camp Kintail?
In no way do we require campers to any age to be Presbyterian, or even Christian. Chapel and FLASH are based round the philosophies of The Presbyterian Church in Canada. We ask that campers can be open to learning about and participating in these sessions, but each camper is always free to hold their own beliefs during this time; it is up to each individual to explore their own faith at their own pace.
