Willowgrove, Stouffville & Bancroft, Ontario, Canada - Welcome
Description
What we're about... Our history
In 1968, three local men with vision, Glen Brubacher, Emerson McDowell and Nickolas Dick, foresaw a beautiful piece of property... a private, quiet place where people could congregate and where healthy relationships could be nurtured with God, with Nature, and with other people. They foresaw a rural experience, where children could experience recreation, nature and a farm. The three men were Mennonite pastors and the product of this vision is Willowgrove.
Located in Stouffville, Willowgrove has welcomed many thousands of children and youth through camping and education programs; namely Glenbrook Day Camp, Fraser Lake Camp, Willowgrove Outdoor Education Centre and Willowgrove Primary School.
Program Diversity is possible at Willowgrove because the campus offers so much! Where in the Greater Toronto Area can you find 100 acres with natural features that include a hardwood forest, a pond, rolling hills and a clear-running stream? (In fact... the stream was officially named "Willowgrove Creek" in 2003, honouring Willowgrove's contributions to the community.) Many, many children catch crayfish and frogs, build forts in the bush, canoe, skate outdoors, smell fresh boiling maple syrup or toboggan on a "big" hill, all for their first time at Willowgrove.
