Floor it!

This December the dining hall had a makeover. The old yellow mosaic flooring was tiled over with new ceramic tiles. Its looks great and you should notice a difference the next time you come and visit Camp Squeah Retreat Centre.

The men's and women's washrooms were also tiled, but with red quarry tile (same as the in the kitchen).

Welcome to Jim Nortons!
In the grand traditional of the doughnuts that have bonded us as Canadians since the 1960s, our Asst. Cook/Pastry Chef Katie-Sue Stauffer created home-made doughnuts. Our visiting CMU OuttaTown group had a work day outside in the cold and were welcomed at their afternoon break by hot coffee and fresh doughnuts.

Oktoberfest

Oktoberfest. For some it means beer gardens and Bavarian music. But at Camp Squeah Retreat Centre it means a busy season of revolving groups in and out of camp 24/7. The kitchen ramps it up for the harvest season with pumpkin and apple pies and other special desserts, as well as the traditional turkey feasts for some of our groups.

In just a short few weeks it will be over and we will enter the sleepier months starting with November. This is the time we review the past year and plan for next year.
