25 Years of Kinloch – Let’s Celebrate!John & Toni Glover are throwing a party — and you're invited.
From a truck, a dream, and a whole lot of heart back in 2000 to the Kinloch Wilderness Retreat we know today, it's time to mark this milestone in proper Kinloch style: food, music, lakeside views, and good company.
Join us for a full weekend of memories, connection, and celebration — everyone with a connection to Kinloch is welcome: former staff, loyal guests, locals, neighbours, adventurers, and friends from far and wide.
