🍂 Happy Thanksgiving from Camp Lau-Ren! 🍂
Even though our 2026 camp season has wrapped up and the autumn leaves are falling along the Ottawa River, our hearts are incredibly full. This Thanksgiving weekend, we are looking back on a summer packed with laughter, campfire songs like "One Tin Soldier", beach days, and lifelong friendships.
We want to say a massive THANK YOU to our incredible campers, dedicated staff, hard-working volunteers, and the entire Camp Lau-Ren family. You are what makes this community feel like home.
As you gather with loved ones this weekend, we wish you a safe and happy holiday filled with family, friends, great food (enjoy that extra slice of pie! 🥧), and moments to count your blessings.
What are you most thankful for this year? Share your favourite camp memory from this summer in the comments below! 👇

Hello folks,
With the fall season upon us now. The trees are starting to change colours. At Camp Lau-Ren we are lucky to have some many beautiful different types of trees and they are starting to change colours.
A couple of days ago, Norm, Bear and Mukluck were at the camp and turned (winterized) off the water to camp. They got to see some of these changing tree colours.

Hello friends of Camp Lau-Ren

Thunder Bay has its famous "Sleeping Giant," but did you know we have our very own version right here at Camp Lau-Ren? 🌊🌲

When you're standing on the beach and look across the Ottawa River toward the mountains on the Quebec side, you can see a perfect silhouette of a person lying down!

We are thinking calling it the “Resting Voyageur”. (A historical nod to the voyageurs who famously traveled the Ottawa River).

Next time you're on the waterfront, take a close look at the treeline. 👇👀

Attached is picture of the Thunder Bay Sleeping Giant and pictures of our Resting Voyageur.

Hello Friends of Camp Lau-Ren,
Even though our Camp Season is done, there is always work to be done at Camp Lau-Ren.
Recently we had two helpers at the camp, who help split the wood, so that we have wood for the 2027 camping season. A BIG thankyou to Elliot and Asher.
