Introduction to DLFC

Only 15 minutes from the northern town of Kirkland Lake, Dorothy Lake Camp nestles among pine and birch trees and overlooks a pristine lake. Great Blue Heron, Loon, and wild duck are summer visitors here. Indeed, the Loons are known to accompany canoes and swimmers. A very short portage leads into the sister lake, Joyce.
Baskets of blueberries in their season, are easily picked around the campsites and cabins. Wintergreen, Pink Ladyslippers, Northern Green Orchis, Indian Ghost Pipes, Creeping Snowberry, Starflower, are just a few of the wild flowers to be seen within the grounds.
Dorothy Lake Camp is available for Christian groups who would like to experience the beauty of the woodlands in Northern Ontario. There are 4 cabins and 12 campsites. Although there are out-houses, we do have hot showers available in the bath-house. A large permanent structure, called the teepee, provides indoor dining, assembly, crafts area, etc., and is a great place for evening sing-songs around the central fireplace. Firewood is always available. The kitchen is attached to the teepee by a short walkway and is equipped with 2 propane stoves and 2 propane refrigerators. Plenty of cutlery, cooking utensils, pots and pans, and crockery are available. On the way to the beach
Close by the out-door chapel is our new large log storage shed. This houses the canoes, paddles, and P.F.D.S for use by the campers.
