Camp
Mini
Ha Ha is a community everyone is involved and everyone helps out in making Camp the wonderful experience it has become.
Camp
takes place every year in September. For 2024
it will run from Wednesday, September 25th
to Monday, September 30th
at the Debert Hospitality Centre, 130 Ventura
Drive, Debert, Nova Scotia.
The Conference Centre provides a peaceful environment in which to escape from the "everyday" and totally immerse yourself
in miniatures.
Our accommodations consist of 14 Bedrooms in the Pettis Lodge which has a large common area with a fridge and microwave. There are
two common washrooms that contain 2 showers/ 2 toilets each with a washer/dryer for laundry. Note: One of the showers
is wheelchair accessible in each of the common washrooms. There is also a hot tub available at the back of this unit.
The additional units would house 6 to 10 people, depending on the number campers we have. They are completely private to campers.
Each Pod contains a small living room with laundry room and washroom on the main level. The bedrooms are private with single occupancy
per bedroom with your own key. There are 2 bedrooms on the lower level and two on each additional level above the main entrance. The
washrooms alternate on each floor with either a Toilet and Sink or Tub/Shower and Sink . The washrooms are shared by all occupants
within the pod (there are no individual private washrooms).
6 bedroom pods have 2 toilet/sinks and 2 tub/sink rooms
10 bedroom pods have 3 toilets/sinks and 3 tub/sinks rooms
Camp Mini Ha Ha offers a unique experience different from miniature events typically held in hotel type settings. Our venue supports the cooperative and
creative spirit of Camp Mini Ha Ha .
Camp
Mini Ha Ha is structured around a single workshop, which
begins bright and early Thursday morning and continues
through the next four days allowing campers to work,
laugh and learn together. In addition to your main
project, there are usually some smaller projects to do
as well.
The minor projects are designed to work on the same
theme as the main project so that they come together
into one miniature setting.
In
addition to the workshop, there are gifts galore and
workspaces available 24 hours a day to accommodate night
owls and early birds.
The
arivals
arrivals begin early Wednesday afternoon
and
Camp activities begin after supper. Goodbyes are before
lunch on Monday.
Details to follow once you are registered.
The
contribution per camper covers the costs of the
project basic materials and five night s accommodation
as well as breakfast, lunch and supper from Wednesday
evening to Monday morning.
After classes are
over for the day, the fun begins! We chat, play games,
and go for walks or whatever you choose. There is lots of
space to be creative and to enjoy the evening. Check out
