Established in 1948 by Colonel Joseph Acton, Camp Selkirk was the home to camping ministries in Southern Ontario. It was the site of spiritual, emotional and personal growth for many. Based on 124 acres this residential camp is remembered for many things, some of which are recorded here.

That looks just like the ones the COVERED Hoover house!
Camp had the biggest spiders I have ever seen!
In Hoover House, in the cabins, in the public washrooms.....you were always certain to see at least one in one of the washroom sinks.
It was so bad at Fresh Air camp one year in the washrooms, the girls kept screaming and not wanting to brush their teeth. Fiona had started the mantra "Spiders are our friends". She would keep saying it until the girls calmed down.
I remember one particular summer getting three bites in a row right in the middle of my forehead! That was the first year girls staff was the old hospital. Spiders were NOT my friends!
"Lord Selkirk" spiders were not my friends either. When i got spider bites, they would swell up to the size of an egg!! ridiculous. I have ghastly memories of the old cabins and those rafters in which would hide platoons of the icky things. I dreaded being stuck with a top bunk as a camper, and again as a counselor in those teeny counselor rooms with the ceiling so close to the top bunk,the bottom was already claimed by my co-counselor! d'oh! Sitting on the top bunk, with my shoe in hand, eyes peeled, obliterating each spider as it emerged, so that i could increase my odds of being able to fall asleep without as much anxiety. SHUDDER. .
