Penny in the Dust
A Transfiguration Family Camp
Sunday August 2, 2026 - Saturday, August 8, 2026
St. Anne's Anglican Youth Camp
3232 West Dalhousie Road, Annapolis County, NS
Penny in the Dust is a family-friendly week of Christian community and fellowship grounded in Morning and Evening Prayer. We share reflections on the lessons, receive Holy Communion in the early morning, and take in talks on poetry and literature. Meals are eaten together by everyone. We sing Compline under the stars each evening. There is a whole lot of free time for canoeing, campfires, activity, conversation, and friendship. We are a rag-tag collection of families who gather simply to enjoy the rustic beauty of Saint Anne's camp and to share their lives as Christians who follow the ascetic discipline of the ancient and contemporary Prayer Book Tradition, described faithfully in the writings of Robert Crouse.
Stay in a cabin, sleep under the stars, or bring your tent.
Caught lake trout are to be grilled and shared by all!
