Thank you for those who attended the OCA Connects 2025 Conference, brought to you by Magen Boys Entertainment! We were at the Hilton Markham Suites Conference Centre from February 12-13, 2025. We enjoyed connecting, learning, networking and growing together in this incredible space.
Building strong foundations, empowering camp professionals, and shaping the future of camping together!
This year’s OCA Connects 2025 theme focuses on grounding ourselves in the foundations of camp leadership while building and rebuilding the essential tools to lead with purpose. As we look ahead, we aim to equip today’s camp professionals with the skills to inspire and guide the next generation. Through collaboration, learning, and growth, we’ll strengthen our roots while paving the way for a brighter future in camping. Join camp professionals across Ontario as we come together to grow, connect, and light the path for tomorrow’s leaders!

We are thrilled to have Jordanna and Rachel return for a second year as conference co-chairs! A note from our co-chairs:
We are thrilled to be returning as co-chairs for the upcoming conference! For us, the opportunity to continue this journey with all of you is one we couldn’t pass up. Get ready for another round of laughter, learning, and maybe a surprise or two along the way. We’re committed to making next year’s conference even better. That means more inspiring speakers from near and far, more engaging roundtable discussions, and more of the topics that matter most to camp leaders like yourselves. We are so grateful to our OCA community, for the endless support and enthusiasm. Together, we’re not just shaping the future of camping – we’re creating memories that will last a lifetime. Here’s to another incredible adventure ahead!
