Residential multi-activity camp in Bracebridge, Canada
Wenonah has been trusted by families from across Canada and around the world for generations. Located in the beautiful Muskoka region of Ontario (Canada), Wenonah is an overnight summer camp for 5–17 year olds with 30+ different activities. Wenonah offers 1 month, 2 week, and 3-7 day introductory periods, including one month leadership programs for 16 & 17 year olds. Wenonah Summer Camp staff are outdoor education professionals, teachers, university and college graduates/students or senior high school students that share one thing in common: they are committed to providing making a positive difference in the lives of every Wenonah camper. Our committed and caring leaders provide Summer Camp experiences in which the accomplishments of each person is valued and celebrated. Our staff team includes full-time medical staff. The food at Camp Wenonah is second to none! Under the direction of Executive Chef and our food services team, three healthy homestyle meals and snacks are prepared each day. Each meal is made onsite with the freshest of ingredients. Our food service staff provide an amazing array of desserts, breads, pastries and more! Canadian summer camps are destinations for children from around the world. Campers and staff travel to Wenonah from communities across Canada and recently from such countries as Mexico, Taiwan, Venezuela, Colombia, Guatemala, Martinique, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Malaysia, England, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Hungary, Russia, Poland, Spain, Slovenia, Turkey and the United States. Special attention is given to all international campers. Those campers traveling from overseas are welcome to arrive a day early, and a complimentary transportation service is provided from Pearson International Airport in Toronto. Upon arrival, campers are provided with a full orientation to the Wenonah experience. While at Camp, international campers are able to access phones to keep in touch with family at home. During the middle of each month, international campers are invited to join other Wenonah campers and staff for a day in the local community (Bracebridge, Ontario) for shopping, a meal and a movie.

Multi-activity · Sports & Outdoor
Wenonah's programme balances personal choice with the rhythm of a cabin group. Campers live and travel through the day with cabin mates of similar age led by a Cabin Leader and usually a second staff member, and those staying a month, two weeks or Period 1B or 3B choose three PICs once they arrive, giving them sustained instruction in the activities they care most about rather than a single taster session. Alongside those choices sit Go Time and Cabin Choice, looser periods where campers pick something fun on the spur of the moment, so the day moves between focused skill-building and free play. Campers on the one-week introductory periods follow a guided version of the same programme, visiting Camp's most popular activity areas with their cabin group for a taste of everything. Threading through it all are the all-Camp moments that define a Wenonah summer: theme days, evening campfires and the Wenonah Games in Period 2 or 4. With an average one-to-five staff-to-camper ratio and more than 80% of campers returning each year, progression across summers is a real part of the design.

Long time camper
I have truly found a home away from home. Camp means many things, to each person a new perspective, but it shows to me that anything is possible. People can find unlikely friendships in people that they wouldn’t talk to at school or in their community. It can strengthen old friendships and introduce you to new things like sports you haven’t played before. To me, Camp truly means family, and I have to say, thank you Camp Wenonah, for all of the great memories I have, and the memories to come.

It's the first time for my both children joined a camp and I am glad I made the right choice. They both enjoyed the time spent there, made new friends, learnt some new skills and would like to go back again.

I just wanted to thank you for allowing my son the opportunity to attend Camp. He had a great time and came home with many new friends. He’s already asking if he can go back next year. For a kid who enjoys spending time indoors he seems to have found himself in a new and healthy lifestyle thanks to you.

When I think ‘Camp,’ I think of the same words each time; friends, family, home, love. I think of the cabins, the lake, and the campgrounds. Put together, all these things create my summer home, my Camp Wenonah. Over the years, I have grown to love Camp more and more. Some may ask “why do you love Camp so much?” and for that there is no simple answer. To me, Camp is a home, with a family that loves you unconditionally. It is a home in which you are never left alone or without anything to do. A home where you don’t want to sleep or even blink, because when you do, you miss so much, so you try your hardest to live every moment. I love camp and I am counting down the days until I arrive there, returning home but at the same time feeling like I never left.
