Chilawee Trails is an overnight camp for girls, running one nine day session every August. Our aim is to enable girls to have fun together enjoying nature, friendship, sports and crafts in a relaxed atmosphere of cheerful cooperation, and to appreciate that having fun is a natural part of a virtuous and faithful life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chilawee Trails Camp began in 1994 with a one-week session of 28 campers and 8 staff. It has grown to one nine-day session with 56 campers and approximately 40 staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are members of the Ontario Camping Association and must adhere to over 400 separate standards dealing with all aspects of a camp\u2019s operation.

Its primary focus is the education and development of women of all ages.[neeje.ca]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chilawee Trails has entrusted to Opus Dei the spiritual formation provided at camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Opus Dei is a Personal Prelature of the Catholic Church. The Latin name means \u201cWork of God.\u201d The aim of Opus Dei is to help ordinary people seek holiness in their study and daily work, and through their family and social commitments. This message is a central teaching of the Second Vatican Council. Opus Dei was founded in Madrid on October 2, 1928 by Saint Josemaria Escriva. Currently, over 85,000 people from every continent belong to the prelature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To find out more about Opus Dei and about Saint Josemaria, please see the following links<\/p>\n\n\n\n [St Josemaria\u2019s Writings: http:\/\/www.escrivaworks.org\/<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [St Josemaria\u2019s Life: https:\/\/opusdei.org\/en\/section\/saint-josemaria\/<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\nChilawee Trails & Neeje<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
