The cry of
the loon; the silence of the early morning mist; the crackle of the campfire;
sensational sunsets; a canoe paddle breaking still water; starry nights. These
classic images are created, celebrated and treasured at Camp Wenonah.
Our mission statement is the foundation upon which life at Wenonah is based:
Providing opportunities that develop a healthy respect and appreciation for one's self, for others and for the natural world.

Wenonah offers a traditional, modified co-ed Summer Camp experience for 5-17
year olds. The program is modelled on a one month schedule, with two week options (which parallel half of the one month
experience). Two short-stay Introductory Periods are also available. Camp is located in the Muskoka region of Ontario, only two hours north
of Toronto. Wenonah sits on 200 acres of land, adjacent to Clear Lake and Saw Lake. Camp Wenonah
is home to The Camp Wenonah Centre for Outdoor Education during the Spring and Fall, and is also affiliated with the Shikoku Canadian
Global Camp in Takamatsu, Japan. Wenonah is proud to host Camp Jumoke
for two weeks each August.
While at
Camp, each Wenonah camper is placed in a cabin group with others of the same
age. A counsellor lives with each group of campers and supervises all facets of
the Camp experience. Each day, campers have three PIC (Personal Individual
Choice) periods where they can select activities of a specific, personal
interest. Time is also set aside each day to enjoy cabin choice programs
with options as limitless as the interests of the campers in each cabin. Special Introductory Periods designed for first-time campers (5 - 7 year olds & 8 - 13 year olds) are held throughout the Summer. Campers remain with their counsellors and cabin groups for a taste of many different Camp activities and general Camp life.
Two highly regarded one month leadership programs, POLARIS and WCIT, are available for 16 & 17 year olds to further develop leadership skills.
