  • Reviews & Insider Perspectives

    The Our Kids review of Fair Havens Camp & Conference Centre

    our take

    Fair Havens' Christian family camp experience blends faith, rest, and fellowship in the quietude of Creation. The range of amenities and activities supports both active days and slower moments, including walking trails, children’s playgrounds, a splash pad, kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, basketball, soccer, a café, campfires… and too many more to list here. Many families praise the way relationships are strengthened through shared faith and time outdoors. New guests are always welcome, alongside families who return annually for spiritual growth and meaningful connection. The history of the camp (since 1941), combined with the solace of nature, gives families more than just a vacation—it becomes a cherished annual tradition that's a gift to the whole family.

    Surrounded by Nature

    The place looks like paradise. We spent a week immersed in the presence of God, surrounded by nature that brought us a lot of peace, and we felt the care and love of every employee and volunteer who works there. We have already made our reservation for next year. Our children loved every second of being there. My wife and I went back to our childhood, doing simple things that are rich in memories. - Fredericky Laba ... Show More

    Director's Message

    Welcome to Summer Family Camp 2026! This will be year number 85, and although we have seen change over the past 5 years, the heartbeat from 1941 continues to resonate throughout this ministry. As I sit and pray over what to write for our 2026 program guide, I am flooded with mixed emotions. On a personal level, last year at this time my life looked very different. As a family we had just relocated to be closer to camp, we had great plans for our first grandchild, Vickie was looking forward to participating in camp life more intentionally, and as a staff we were busy prepping for a fantastic Summer Family Camp season. Then, in what seemed like a whirlwind, our family faced a season of grief and sorrow that I still can not make sense of, and I’m not sure I ever will. And yet, God in his great love for us, brought families, friends and communities together to help us stand. We saw this Fair Havens community pray over us and love on us in ways that were so wonderful, and that story has become part of our testimony and a significant part of our healing. That’s what God does… never leaving us or forsaking us regardless of the depth of our valley. It is THIS experience of true community that has been so transformational for our family, and I pray our guests experience during their stay during Summer Family Camp. God is so good! As I anticipate Summer Family Camp 2026, I look forward to seeing new guests arrive to experience Fair Havens for the first time, while seasoned guests return for more of what keeps them coming back each year! God has woven into each person this desire to be in relationship with Him and with the “others” in our lives. My prayer will always be to see people grow in their relationship and experience with God and others. Together, we have a unique opportunity to do that here through Summer Family Camp! I encourage you to check out the rest of this program guide to see all that Fair Havens Family Camp has to offer you and your family as you wade into an experience of rest, renewal and allow this property to build back into you a sense of resilience to be that bright light in the world around you! Sincerely, Brian Bylsma CEO/Executive Director
