Camp Merrywood – Not Just your Average Summer Camp
For those who haven’t visited the place before, Camp Merrywood looks like the perfect summer camp for kids.
You’ve got the typical amenities found in a summer vacation camp, such as a spacious mess hall, a large swimming pool, sports facilities for those into basketball and the like, and other indoor and outdoor facilities for recreational purposes. Topping that off are the buildings in the camp that come with very “outdoorsy” names like moose, loon, maple and bear, just to name a few.
Found on a peninsula that conveniently sticks out into the Rideau Lake, giving it an ideal position between Smiths Falls and the Town of Perth, Camp Merrywood stands out from other camps by offering some special features.
On close inspection, visitors will notice a few differences, such as washroom tops specifically designed to be lower to better suit those on wheelchairs. Other features for children with special accessibility needs have been incorporated into the camp, which has earned Merrywood a spot in the hearts of parents who have children with special needs.
Thanks to the united efforts of the 1000 Islands Rotary Club and the Brockville Rotary Club, Camp Merrywood continues to be funded, giving kids with physical disabilities the opportunity to have a great summer vacation in a comfortable and secure setting.
