Rubber Ducky Resort & Campground – A family campground located in Warren, near Winnipeg, Manitoba

A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and

order the ‘Chicken Surprise’, The waiter brings the meal,

served in a lidded cast iron pot.

Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the

pot rises slightly and she briefly sees two beady little

eyes looking around before the lid slamsback down.

‘Good grief, did you see that?’ she asks her husband.

He hadn’t, so she asks him to look in the pot.

He reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees

two little eyes looking around before it slams down..

Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, explains

what is happening, and demands an explanation.

‘Please sir,’ says the waiter, ‘what you order?’

The husband replies, ‘Chicken Surprise’.

(You’re going to love this, and you’re going to

hate yourself for loving it!…)

‘Ah! So sorry,’ says the waiter, ‘I bring you Peeking Duck.

Sadly it is time to admit that summer is coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean that camping has to stop.  The activities here at the Duck keep going all the way into the fall. Our heated pool and hot tub will stay open until late September so there will always be something for the kids to do.

As part of our Grand Reopening celebration we have come up with a special Fall Finale offer – Camp from September 3 – October  15 for only $675.  You stay for 42 nights, but only pay for 21.

There are limited sites available for this special offer, so call (204-322-5286) or email (rducky2@mts.net) today for more information. Mention the Fall Finale offer when booking your campsite.

Our 2012 expansion is now complete. The last step was the opening of the new hot tub last week.  With the addition of this second tub, we have now designated the original hot tub as adult only and the new one is designated as the family tub.

Some of the new seasonal sites have been open for almost month already and there are many new family settling into their new seasonal campsites. We still have a few seasonal campsites available right now. Our seasonal agreements do run on a full one year term, so anyone that moves in now will still be able to camp until August of next year. At that time you will have the first option to renew your campsite. Now is the time to have your choice of sites. We even still have a couple that are beside each other which is perfect for friends or family that like to camp together.

It was another perfect day for DuckyFest this past Saturday.

There was stuff going on all over the place all day. We had people here, there and everywhere. We started at about 10am with our volunteers organizing some great donations into silent auction prizes and carried on to 11pm with the Fireworks display. The hours in between were filled with Karaoke, games,  the dunk tank and some always fabulous entertainment by Circuit Breaker. I was able to sneak out and get a few pictures of the fun. If anyone else has any more that they would be willing to share I would be extremely grateful. You can email them to me at rducky2@mts.net.
