Weekly adventures of Five Oaks’ River Rangers!

Did you know Five Oaks is celebrating 100 years of camps? Yes, that’s right, Five Oaks has hosted camps at its sprawling nature property since the 1920s. Last week River Ranger campers had the chance to explore alongside the river and on the river, thanks to assistance from Grand River Rafting Company Ltd. The County of Brant Fire Department also brought some equipment to show campers as they discussed both fire and river safety. Land acknowledgement: Five Oaks acknowledges that we gather on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and Neutral peoples and acknowledge their stewardship of this land throughout the ages. We seek a new relationship with the Original Peoples of this land, one based in honour and deep respect.

If a tree falls in the woods, and campers are there to hear it, it should make a sound, right? Just ask these River Ranger campers at Five Oaks last week.
