Willow Lake Campground and RV Park is looking to become a more inclusive place for all campers, now that it has received its Unity Blaze certification.
WOODSTOCK - Willow Lake Campground and RV Park has received its Unity Blaze certification, becoming the first campground in Canada to do so.
This is thanks to a new partnership with Black Folks Camp Too, a company that encourages more black people to go camping and enjoy other outdoor activities.
In order to become United Blaze certified, Black Folks Camp Too Founder Earl Hunter Jr. says Willow Lake had to participate in a course that highlighted why his company was created.
"It's truly amazing to know that campgrounds in other countries understand the value of our company and mission. Willow Lake Campground may be smaller than others, but their impact is mightier than most!"
The Jaycocks, the owners of Willow Lake, issued the following statement in a press release.
"Willow Lake Campground and RV Park is excited to partner with Black Folks Camp Too to reach out to new campers and make camping accessible and inclusive for everyone. Families and individuals have camped in Canada and Ontario since the late 1800s, enjoying the beauty of our country and exploring nature and all it has to offer."
