Waupoos Farm

Meeting Facilities

Waupoos Farm

Waupoos Farm offers a variety of facilities including five cottages, a brick farmhouse, a chapel, and a lodge with meeting space. There is also an outdoor skating rink, an outdoor pool, a basketball court, a volleyball sandpit, a playground, bicycles and hiking and cross country ski trails. Currently, we have a rooster and hens, goats, rabbits and several cats.

Activities

The farm is host to many seasonal activities and events:

• Mass is held on scheduled days in the chapel or outdoors when weather permits, followed by a potluck supper.
• There are tractor-pulled wagon rides during the summer and, at special winter events, horse-drawn sleigh rides.
• During holiday programs, Host Families lead a range of indoor and outdoor crafts and games.

Vacations at the Farm

Each cottage is fully equipped for cooking and sleeping. Families need only bring food, clothing, towels, and personal care items. Vacations at the five cottages are offered at all times of the year. Summer, Christmas, and Easter are the most popular times so apply early if this is when you might like to enjoy the Waupoos vacation experience.

Each family is asked to pay only a small portion of the actual cost of their vacation. Families pay $60 for a summer week at the Farm and from $25 to $50 for other stays. To get more information, apply for a cottage in the summer, or book a scheduled weekend at the Farm during the rest of the year, call 613-822-2189 . Applicants for summer holidays are asked to meet with a member of our Families Committee to discuss their vacation needs.
