Valued at $850 the Carere family is auctioning off a week stay at their beautiful cottage in Inverhuron — Arrive Saturday evening (May 29) and depart Saturday morning (June 5) at a warm, decorative, 1400 square foot, 3 bedroom cottage near Kincardine, close to the shoreline and not far from the sand at Inverhuron Beach.

Want to bring your kids? They can enjoy the grassy yard space in the back and 2 person swing in the front yard. Want to escape the kids and enjoy a weekend having grownup conversations without being interrupted? The campfire pit is perfect for a cocktail and a s'more. If you want to bring the kids but still have a quiet moment to yourself, there is a TV and DVD player in the comfy family room.

A propane BBQ is also available for your use, as well as a kitchen with a dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, and dishes/utensils.

While this property is not waterfront, the shoreline is close by, just across the street from the cottage. There you will find public access to the waterfront on a flat, stony waterfront that provides good swimming (we do suggest wearing swim shoes). The sandy beach at Inverhuron Beach is just 650 meters away. You can get there by walking along the shoreline. Hop in the car for a quick 5 minute drive to Inverhuron Provincial Park, from which you can access another sand beach or the park trails for a great walk.
While you're there, make sure to enjoy a Lake Huron sunset — some say they are the best in the world!

Lake Healey, Muskoka

Lake days
Cottage evenings

And best of all? You don’t have to own a cottage to live the cottage life.

This incredible getaway is being offered as part of our Camp Hermosa Silent Auction, helping us raise funds to keep camp open and continue creating a place where young people can find community, belonging, adventure and a little bit of Jesus in the woods.

Bid generously.

Enjoy an authentic steamboat-style dinner in Paris!

You and five friends are invited to the home of Danny and Kim Leitch in Paris, Ontario for a dinner experience you won't soon forget. If you've never had steamboat, it's like fondue or hot pot, with a large pot on a burner in the centre of the table in which everyone cooks their own food. The vegetables (3 or 4) and meat (3 or 4) are dipped into chicken stock to cook and then dipped into a variety of sauces from spicy to savoury. Rice is included and once everything is eaten, the left over broth makes a great soup since that's about all you have room for anyway. It's not a quick meal and can take a couple of hours!

THE FINE PRINT: This listing is for TWO tickets. Date is to be confirmed and the participants cannot have allergies to dogs or cats (the Leitch household has both) or seafood (it's on the menu). Must be willing to travel to Paris, Ontario.

Are you the kind of person who thinks the best adventures start with “Just get in the car… I’m not telling you where we’re going”?

Then this one is for YOU.

Bid on a Mystery Day Trip where the destination is unknown, the route is part of the adventure, and the itinerary is strictly need-to-know.

You’ll wind your way along country roads, take in beautiful farms and countryside, make a stop (or two ) at a local brewery, and eventually find yourself somewhere with sand between your toes… because this mystery ends in Grand Bend!

Scenic country roads
Brewery adventure
Farms & countryside
Grand Bend beach
And absolutely NO idea what’s coming next!

Market Value: $150

IMPORTANT: This experience is for someone who is genuinely okay with the unknown. If you need to know the schedule, destination, menu, and exact number of bathroom stops before leaving the house… this may not be your auction item.

But if you love adventure, surprises, good company, great scenery, and letting someone else plan the day…

START BIDDING!

Your only job is to show up, buckle up, and enjoy the ride.

All proceeds support Camp Hermosa and our mission of keeping camp accessible and welcoming for young people.

Who knows where the road will take you?
