🌊 Celebrate the longest day of the year outdoors at one of Newfoundland’s most beloved coastal spots. June 21st marks the Summer Solstice, the official start of summer, and we’re welcoming the season the best way we know how: gathered around a campfire with good people, fun games, and s’mores in hand.

Whether you’re bringing the whole family or coming on your own, this is a relaxed, joyful afternoon designed for everyone.

Pair that with a genuine community connection, and you’ve got an afternoon that gives back long after the fire goes out.
