For over 50 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.

Community Partners
