About Us - "The Land" at AmberFox

Come Join Us For Our Annual Summer Gatherings on "The Land" at AmberFox

AmberFox is a beautiful farm nestled among the rolling valleys of the Lanark Highlands, west of the Ottawa Valley. For 35 years, gay and queer men have come together here to share in a journey of spirit, growth, and renewal.

AmberFox is situated on "The Land" and is much more than just gay camping; it's a collective of diverse individuals who come together for what we call a gathering. Men of all ages, younger and older, gather on the land to share life experiences, sexualities, community, to party and to share the diversity of different peoples' lives.

For our short time together we live in a tent community with a central common structure that we use for dining and our "know talent" shows. As a collective community we share in the upkeep of the land. We are liberal and accepting of many diverse and unique lifestyles. We've seen it all and we offer one of only a few such gathering spaces in Canada. With our limited capacity we keep gatherings small so that activities remain fun and sustainable. The Land at AmberFox is a safe and accepting place to come out and be yourself.

Canada Day RenDezVous

The gathering this Canada Day weekend is looking to be full of interesting and dynamic Fae, Queer and Gay men of many colours.  We will be soaking up the sun, enjoying camaraderie, good food and the best entertainment this side of earth. 

There are rumours the Aliens will send an emissary with an important message.  What will that be?  We won't know until the emissary arrives.   Not only will we receive an emissary, but even bigger rumours are flying around that Queen Elizabeth, Queen of Canada and a possible visit as well. 

There are many changes that have occurred on the Land since we celebrated there on Queen Victoria's birthday, earlier this year.   I am sure you will be delighted with the new stage, the new alien beacon paint on the barn roof, the redone Departure Lounge and many other astonishing touches.

We are all looking forward to a great gathering, excellent weather and an almost bug free weekend. The Mississippi is running well and waiting to surround your toes and other appendages with cool magical waters in the 32c temperatures.  

Bring your non-electrical instruments, drums, tambourines if you can.  Your glad rags are welcome too, though if you haven't any or no room to bring them, we have a whole closet to outfit you in. 

Expect great food, awesome entertainment and celebrity sitings and loads of fun from mud wrestling to horseshoes once Peaches figures out how to remove them from the stallions.

Now remember, this is Ontario in the summer.  The forecast is for great hot weather and that could mean a  thunderstorm or two.  Bring your sleeping bag, tent if you have it, suntan lotion, toiletries, make-up if you're so inclined and bug spray.   I know I have said its been virtually bug free this year, that could change and wouldn't it be better to be a good boy scout, come prepared!

You also may want to bring your own bottled water if you prefer not to drink the fabulous well water. 

Finally, if you need directions, send a note to the list.  If you are arriving at Perth by bus or Smith Falls by train, let us know ahead of time and we will pick you up.  How's that for service!

The gathering is from July 1 to July 5.  We ask a donation of $25 per day to keep this all happening. 

big hugs
