Willow Lake Campground, Black Folks Camp Too Partner

Black Folks Camp Too is proud to announce its latest partnership with Willow Lake Campground and RV Park in Ontario, Canada, according to a release. Through this partnership, Willow Lake will become the very first “Unity Blaze Certified Campground” in Canada. 

“Willow Lake Campground and RV Park is excited to partner with Black Folks Camp Too to reach out to new campers and make camping accessible and inclusive for everyone. Families and individuals have camped in Canada and Ontario since the late 1800s, enjoying the beauty of our country and exploring nature and all it has to offer,” said Mark and Melanie Jaycock, owners of Willow Lake. 

“It’s truly amazing to know that campgrounds in other countries understand the value of our company and mission. Willow Lake Campground may be smaller than others, but their impact is mightier than most!“ said Earl Hunter Jr., founder of Black Folks Camp Too. 

Unity Blaze Certification

The Unity Blaze Certification is a comprehensive customer service course that illuminates “WHY” Black Folks Camp Too was created. WHY many Black folks have not entertained the outdoor lifestyle, and WHY 

it’s important to Invite and Welcome “more” Black folks and other folks to enjoy the outdoor lifestyle. All in all, the Unity Blaze Certification course was designed to “Increase Unity in the Outdoor Community and Beyond” while helping the Outdoor Industry increase revenue for years to come. 

“More and More campgrounds are earning their Unity Blaze Certification and joining our Unity Blaze family! We believe campgrounds and parks that take the necessary steps to understand cultural awareness about creating intentional welcoming space for campers of ALL experiences and backgrounds, will be more successful,” said Earl B. Hunter Jr., founder of Black Folks Camp Too. 

The real power of Unity Blaze Certification lies in its symbolism. When folks of ALL races, ages, and genders see the Unity Blaze Symbol, they know they are invited and welcomed! To that end, Willow Lake Campground and RV Park will feature the Unity Blaze Certification on their website and other marketing literature, and onsite at their campground and RV park.
