Kahshe Kamp
This Kahshe Kamp postcard has been supplied courtesy of Bill and Marion Edwards. It is a promo for Ed Day's Kahshe Kamp from the 40's-50's era.
.Bill writes: "My sister stayed there in the 30's, so I'm sure it will bring back memories for some of the old folks. This property was purchased by John Klinck a few years ago and he built a new house on it." John has since sold the house on the South Kahshe Road past the bridge.
We are pleased to forward our folder with pictures taken at Kahshe Kamp. These will give you a fair idea of the type of vacation enjoyed by our guests who return to us year after year.
A typical day's fun starts with a refreshing dip in the lake, followed by the good natured chats at the breakfast table, then out for a canoe paddle, a game of tennis, or perhaps a bit of dancing in our recreation hall. After another swim your appetite says dinner sounds good.
In the afternoon the usual sun baths are popular or a hike in the woods, where berries are plentiful and small animals play around. It's almost supper time now and after a little rest, everyone joins in the games and dancing, with square dances thrown in for good measure.
A feature of Kahshe Kamp is the all day canoe picnic, which starts after breakfast, usually on Wednesdays, for a pleasant paddle to our picnic Island at the head of Beautiful Kahshe Lake. Lunch is taken along and after a day's real fun we arrive back in camp ready for an evening dinner and the usual dance and games. Hot Dog roasts, of course, are not forgotten, with the good old camp-fire sing-songs.
Our guests comprise a splendid class of gentile young folks, and the sociability of the camp is well known. You can come alone and be assured of meeting a friendly crowd. There is no style or dress-up here.
Sleeping accommodation in cabins for each two or three guests assures complete rest when you feel like taking life easy. These are built amongst the pines and oaks and face the beautiful Muskoka Sunsets.
And to assure you of a real Happy Holiday, we do not allow the use of liguor on the grounds.
Our Rates are $14.00 Weekly Each. This includes all meals and cabin accommodation. There are no extras for dancing and picnics.
Canoes may be rented at $3.00 weekly.
