Woodworking
At TSC, woodworking encourages campers to let their inner artist step forward and CREATE. Both Camp Ahmek and Camp Wapomeo have a woodworking program that is incorporated into each cabin’s programmed activity schedule.

TSC Tuesday!
In the spirit of TSC Tuesday, we decided we’d share one of our favourite reflections from Fires of Friendship – Eighty Years of The Taylor Statten Camps. There are so many wonderful memories from camp that are impossible to describe: the times we laughed hysterically, unable to stop, or cried when saying goodbye to our […]

A Day on Canoe Trip
What would a day on canoe trip be like? Well, it might go a little like this… The sun rises, the birds begin to chirp and you and your cabin mates wake up feeling well rested and ready to take on another day in the Canadian back-country. After eating a warm breakfast made on the fire, […]
50 Days Stronger
Each summer campers and staff from the Taylor Statten Camps have set out from Algonquin Park to explore even more remote locations in Ontario’s northern wilderness. Over 50 days, campers paddle and portage their way back to camp to Camp Wapomeo and Camp Ahmek, pushing themselves mentally and physically. During the summer of 2018, 4 […]
