Brookside Outdoor Center
Our Staff
Welcome to Brookside!  Brian and Heather Wharry opened Brookside Outdoor Center
following the closure of Camp Quebec Lodge in 2005.  Brian was the former assistant camp
director and Heather was the camp nurse at Quebec Lodge.  Between them, they have over
thirty years of combined camp experience.  

The Brookside staff team is a strong mix of education and health professionals who are
committed to providing each camper with a positive and memorable camping experience.  At
Brookside, staff members are selected for their experience and ability to nurture campers
as well as for their leadership skills. Our staff are certified in CPR and First Aid, and take
part in an extensive pre-camp orientation. To allow campers to learn new skills safely, we
maintain a camper to staff ratio of 3:1.
