HURON FEATHERS

about

Huron Feathers is a unique place and has been a part of the Sauble Beach community for over forty years. Two local Presbyterian ministers established the Centre as a means to reach out to the many young people who found their way to the beach through the summer months. The Centre was built on the beachfront in 1968 and provided a drop-in cafe, counselling services and safe overnight accommodation for many of those young people.

Over the years since then Huron Feathers has declared the good news of the Gospel to children, youth and families in Sauble Beach throughout the summer, and has provided people from all walks of life with a place to experience Christian community.The primary components of our program include Sunday worship services, Day Camp for children ages 5 to 12 and Youth Programs for students age 12 to 18.

We believe that Huron Feathers has been a positive influence for the local residents and for the many guests that join us for part of the summer. In a typical summer, we host more than 150 day camp students and youth from over 45 different communities from coast to coast.

A former day camper wrote to us after 30 years saying: “I returned with my wife and our soon-to-be baby, to worship on Sunday morning. It was a joy to sing, pray and laugh in a packed room while looking out to the crashing waves. I remembered my day camp days each time I passed and always looked to Huron Feathers as a beacon on the beach. Thank you for my day camp days and for always being part of the Sauble beach-scape. Keep up your awesome ministry.”

Our integrated day camp is one of the Centre’s main programs and runs from the first week of July to the end of the 3rd week of August, Monday to Friday, 9am to Noon, for children ages 5-12.

At Huron Feathers we believe that children can teach us valuable things about the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”(Matthew 19:14). Inasmuch as we can learn from them, we also have the opportunity to share with them the stories of God’s grace and faithfulness. We believe that the promises of God are for both adults and children (Acts 2:39) and see it as both an honour and a responsibility to share the hope that we have found in Jesus with the kids at day camp.
