Welcome to Waupoos Family Farm

Providing vacations for families who need it most! Since 1975

What’s New at Waupoos: 

Amazing news! Thanks to a generous grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF), we have been able to source and purchase a “new to us” tractor and a new snow blower! These are critical to maintaining the grounds of Waupoos Farm throughout the year and continue to offer vacations to low-income families. Finding a used tractor at the right price proved challenging, so we thank the volunteers, including some from 100 Men Who Care Ottawa, who helped find a great one. Thanks also to Bromley Farm Supply Ltd. for their support! We held the official recognition event on Saturday, December 6. Thanks to MPP George Darouze for his support and recognition of the contribution of the Ontario government and the OTF. Link here for photos of the event!

Please donate to our Annual Christmas Appeal! Join us in giving back this holiday season – see our Annual Appeal letter for more information!

Join us on December 31 for our New Year’s Eve Open House. All are welcome!

Thanks to the over 50 wonderful guests and hosts who attended this year’s gala on November 22! We all enjoyed the laughter, songs, community, and food! Thanks to everyone who donated to the silent auction and those who successfully bid on some amazing items (a great fundraiser for Waupoos)! And thanks to Roxanne for organizing the event this year! Over $2000 was raised!!

For over 40 years, low-income families with young children have been able to have an affordable vacation at the Farm in South Ottawa. Waupoos provides a family camp experience away from the pressures of daily life.

Our goal is to provide a safe and welcoming community environment where families can find rest, fellowship, and hope.

The farm is supported by The Waupoos Foundation, a Christ-centered community whose mandate is to integrate prayer, work, and play into their service of families in need.

Waupoos Barn



We acknowledge that Waupoos Family Farm, is located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Anishinaabe and Algonquin Peoples. We are deeply grateful to pray, work and play on this land every day.

Long before us, Indigenous Peoples cared for this land with deep respect, wisdom, and responsibility. Our ancestors arrived here from Asia, Africa, Europe, and other parts of North America, and today, we recognize that we are guests on this sacred land.
