What better location than Algonquin Park for a children’s summer camp? A favourite amongst Canadian painters like Tom Thomson, Canoe Lake provides a landscape lush with trees and lakes that are crisp and blue. Wapomeo and Ahmek Campers are lulled to sleep by the loons, allowing them to rest up for the fun filled day ahead.

Do not forget about the brother-sister lunch that happens every Sunday! Siblings are welcomed at both camps to enjoy a delicious meal together.
