GPS Coordinates are:  42’44’19.80”N   80’17’02.46”W

2848 Front Road, Vittoria (Norfolk County; see below)

If you look up the address on GPS, you might have to enter “Vittoria” as the Town or “Norfolk County” as the Town.  Either way, we are exactly in-between FishersGlen and Port Ryerse on Front Road on a map.

We are west of Port Dover by about 7 minutes.  South of the Town of Simcoe by about 7 minutes as well.  From the 403 (East or West) take “Rest Acres Road” (Hwy#24 SOUTH) and go South for about 30 minutes to the Town of Simcoe.  Go thru the Town of Simcoe – still on Hwy #24 south and follow for about 5km.  The road changes from running north/south to running east/west when you go over the bridge.  Turn left (south) about 1km past the bridge onto “Fishersglen Road”.  Go south on Fishersglen Road about 2km and turn left (east) at Front Road.  You missed the Front Road turn if you go down a crazy hairpin turn into the tiny hamlet of Fishersglen – so c’mon back up!  So now on Front Road, follow for 2km.  Down the hill and we are at the other side at 2848.  We have a sign out front – come in the first driveway to the west– you are welcome to arrive at 8:30am.  Please do not park on the grass!!  If you see any signs for Triple C Bible Camp – follow the signs – we are about 1km past (east) them on the same side of the road.

Any problems, call James Cowan at (519)429-9176
