Our small-group settings and diverse activities like arts, archery, and canoeing encourage independence and curiosity. For memories that last a lifetime, and the start of a journey towards growth and confidence, look no further than WEEnonah.
Introductory Periods
One-week periods are designed as a shorter alternative to the traditional two or four-week periods, providing an opportunity for campers to experience some of our “best of” activities and programs. These periods can be an excellent option for first-time campers or for those who prefer a shorter stay. One-week periods serve to introduce campers to many favourite Camp activities and general Camp life in a supportive, nurturing, and safe community.

Set sail for adventure during our 1-month and 2-week periods, the ultimate option for 8 to 15-year-olds! Our immersive Summer Camp program is packed with excitement and learning, offering a balance of personal choice and group activities. Engage in a broad array of activities from wilderness expeditions to watersports, all while forging friendships under the stars. Secure your spot for a transformative journey that develops confident, joyful campers.

This enriching overnight experience blends challenging outdoor activities with personal development, creating a foundation for lifelong learning and leadership.

Why Wenonah?
The world trusts Wenonah as a cherished home away from home, where campers can chase their dreams in the company of their caring and committed Camp family. Camp is home to 250 campers and 100+ staff members. Over 80% of our campers return to Wenonah year after year, allowing children and youth to build upon the personal growth they achieved in previous summers.
Safety is the cornerstone of our Summer Camp experience. We are proudly accredited by the Ontario Camps Association and affiliated with the Life Saving Society of Canada and the Red Cross. Our rigorous safety protocols allow our campers to explore and grow, while families can feel secure in the knowledge that their well-being is our foremost priority.
With a Management Team that provides year-round, full-time direction to all aspects of the Wenonah experience and a 90% returning staff rate, Wenonah's dedicated staff form the heartbeat of this community. Our team strives to create a warm, nurturing environment where each camper feels seen, celebrated, and supported.
We are located east of Bracebridge in the Muskoka region of Ontario (two hours north of Toronto). The main Camp area comprises one hundred acres of spectacular forests, including twenty-four acres of pristine, untouched wilderness in the heart of the rugged Muskoka woods.
"Congratulations on another season of Camp that was filled with personal growth, wonder, and accomplishments for hundreds of children, teenagers, young adults, and young at heart adults. Camp holds a special place in your heart that never leaves. I appreciate the commitment of you as Directors to help shape the mission of Camp Wenonah and set the expectations for your staff and the campers. This is not and easy task but you do it with style, fun, and respect."
Camper Parent"Each of your leadership staff from ROOTS, WCIT and POLARIS have a profound effect on campers. Your willingness to listen, to have empathy, to give support is heartfelt by the camper and it doesn't end at Camp. It comes back to our home; we as parents are incredibly grateful. You do a fantastic job of trying to manage the balance of dealing with mental health issues, creating cohesiveness within groups, and making it all a great experience for everyone. Your ability to support teens and let them feel safe at Camp gives them strength to face their challenges."
Camper Parent“I spoke with Camp during the 48 hour call. From the conversation, my son is having a great time and adjusted really well & quickly to the Camp Wenonah environment. I was so thrilled to hear that. My son is a really sweet kid who makes the most of every situation – I hope all the boys are having just an awesome time at Camp. I’m hoping that this will be the first year of many to come. Camp is a quintessential Canadian experience of the outdoors, of friendship and of learning. Love it! Wenonah’s values really resonated with us as a family. It is a bit of a leap of faith to entrust your kids but one we felt really good about.”
