Thanks to everyone who made our 50th Anniversary Celebration a success! Many past farm residents, cottagers staff, and volunteers shared their memories of how Waupoos shaped their lives. Thank you to all of you who have guided Waupoos over the past 50 years, and to those who continue to support our mission! We are blessed. We will share more updates, photos and a slideshow (and updates about our General Meeting – including Volunteer of the Year) in the next short while!

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.
