Cannabis enthusiasts from Ottawa, Montreal, Calgary, Toronto, Barrie, and beyond gathered in Haliburton for the debut of Camp Canna in Ontario! Hosted by Alexis Dickson, one half of the iconic Blunts and Beans duo, their goal is to shake things up in the cannabis industry by curating events that blend education, wellness, and community vibes.
Now in its third year in Red Deer, this epic "summer camp for stoners" brought a taste of Alberta's thriving cannabis scene to Haliburton’s Camp Timberlaine to kick off summer with an unforgettable, fun-filled weekend in Ontario’s wilderness.

Day one kicked off with a beachside mix and mingle. Pictured: Marge from the Bite Me Podcast, Ann Alchin, the author of Butter and Flower, and the dynamic duo Timmy and MJ from Noobie and the Doobie. And hey, take a peek at the sweet cabins we called home in the background!
Campers were treated to an abundance of samples from the fantastic sponsors, including Jubilee and Sheesh. But that's not all! With a convenient dispensary service on standby, all cannabis orders were delivered straight to camp from the local shop. (Photo Credit Cori Gaffney)
The weekend was packed with activities: karaoke with Noobie and the Doobie, tye-dye with the High Ladies, and the highly anticipated Cannalympics—a showdown of cannabis skills and challenges like making a smokable apple bowl and rolling the perfect one-gram joint.

In Round 3 of the Cannalympics local podcasters went head to head! Amanda (High Ladies) vs. Amanda (The Smoking Spot). The challenge: Be the first to open five different types of legal cannabis packaging without breaking them.

The private lake (yes PRIVATE lake!) was a highlight of the weekend for kayaking, tubing, and cooling off after smoking fatties in the sun.

An entire library of books from The Cannabis Literary Showcase was available for campers to borrow for the weekend, perfect for reading by the campfire or lounging by the lake.
Campers indulged in a massive buffet for every meal, with 24-hour coffee and tea because it wouldn't be a Blunts and Beans event without it!
Saturday night was a highlight! With live bands from Alberta, Run the Plank and Different Rich, playing music while the sun set and into the night. (Photo Credit Cori Gaffney)
Ontario's first-ever Camp Canna was a smashing success, with a weekend packed full of pot smoke and infused treats, mouthwatering food from the camp’s private chefs, and deepening connections with old and new friends.
