Cabins
Are Day Campers assigned to a cabin?
Some Day Campers are assigned to cabins and some are assigned to Yurts or Portables. When placing Day Campers in their group spaces, we look at the needs of the camp community and how many Overnight Campers there are each week.
Day Campers will always have a space to place their belongings and have access to a washroom throughout the day.
What is the layout of the cabins?
All cabins have three sleeping rooms with two bunks in each room. Two rooms are designated as camper rooms with four campers assigned to each room. The room closest to the door is assigned to staff. There is a common area where campers can gather, relax, play games, do crafts, etc.
Some of our cabins (Beech, Birch, Elm, Maple) have three camper rooms with two bunks in each room.
How much time do campers spend in the cabin?
Campers are outdoors as much as possible with the cabin/group space as a place to rest and transition between activities. Day Campers store their personal belongings in their group space and gather at the group space at the beginning and end of the day. Overnight Campers have a quiet siesta hour after lunch every day to rest and have a break from the sun.
May I make a cabin request?
Yes. Canterbury Hills does take cabin requests. If your camper would like to be with a friend or sibling, please provide their name on your application.
*Please note* - Cabin requests are not guaranteed. We group campers of similar ages to help with group dynamics and activities throughout the week.
