75th Anniversary Celebration at Quin-Mo-Lac
Join us on Saturday June 14, 2025 from 2pm - 5pm
Take a trip down memory lane, check out your old cabin to see if your name is still there. Reunite with old friends and relive great memories. Tour the site and spot the latest changes, try out some camp activities and join us for an epic game of Stones! Cake and light refreshments will be provided and a photographer will be there to help us capture some extra special memories.
Please bring a chair, hat, sunscreen and of course bug spray so you can enjoy your day.
Anyone with photos or albums that they would like to share can put them on display in the dining hall for the afternoon.
Save the date and we hope to see you there.
As a registered non-profit organization Quin Mo Lac relies on the generous support of our community to keep our legacy alive. Did you know that your donation to camp is a tax deductible gift that helps keep our registration fees low, funds improvments around the camp and allows us to plan for the future? Whether it goes towards our ongoing septic system renewal project, a new cabin roof, sponsoring campers or maintaining our program areas, your donations will always be put to good use.
As part of our 75th Anniversary celebrations we are taking the opportunity to fundraise in unique ways. Check out our special 75th Anniversary fundraisers below.
QML's Online Anniversary Auction has been Extended Until April 20th
The QML online Vintage Camp Merch Auction is currently open for your bids and we have lots of clothing items going back as far as 1997.

The organizers have decided to extend the auction until April 20th, giving more supporters the chance to get in on the action.
The Auction will clost at 12 noon, E.S.T. on April 20th, 2025. Happy bidding!
For a limited time only, we are re-opening our online tuck shop to provide our supporters with a special opportunity to get their hands on some unique QML clothing.
In honor of our 75th Anniversary, the planning committee has designed an extra special line of clothing. Featuring one of QML's most enduring icons, Grandfather Quin-Mo-Lac, each of these special garments celebrates camp's natural history and and loving legacy. T-shirts will also celebrate all the themes that have been presented at camp since 1973.
Coming soon to the camp's website, there will be an online tuck shop where you can pre-order your very own T-shirt, full zipped, hooded sweater or quarter-zip sweater. T-shirts will be available in unisex, womens and youth sizes and the sweaters will be available in adult, unisex sizes.
Sales will begin in early April and will be available until May 5th so keep an eye on our website and don't miss out on this opportunity to order your anniversary merch. Please arrange to pick up your ordered items at our anniversary event on at camp on June 14th.
