Welcome to the Gracefield Christian Camp & Retreat Centre, a year-round Presbyterian outdoor recreation centre located near Gracefield in the upper Gatineau Valley. Our 240 acre natural environment site includes almost 2 km of rocky, wooded and sandy shoreline along the winding western shore of the pristine and relatively undeveloped Lac Castor. With over15 km of trails through a mixed terrain of whitepine, fir and deciduous forest the centre is a beautiful and peaceful setting for learning, reflection and outdoor activities in all four seasons.



Previously the summer retreat of Ottawa's famous Billings family the centre has been owned and operated by the Presbyterian Church as a summer camp and retreat centre since 1962. Many of the original buildings from the Billings era have been restored and remain in active use as summer lodges and workshops. With the addition of a four-season lodge the centre is now able to host groups and events year-round. Once the railway access to the Billings property, the new Gatineau Valley trail, which is part of the Trans-Canada Trail, passes through the camp giving easy access to hikers and mountain bicyclers.In winter the trail is groomed as Trans-Quebec snowmobile route 13.
