About the Wilderness Camps

All our wilderness camps start off at Site II, where we have a main building, washrooms, and canvas tent bins for sleeping.  We travel by canoe to main site for tuck, swimming, and other fun activities.  We also spend a couple nights at Site III where the real wilderness adventures begin!  Sleeping in your self-made lean-twos, cooking over an open fire, intense games in the forest, canoe wars… the adventures never end!  Wilderness camp is a smaller community (maximum 20 campers) so you really get to know one another well!  They say “once you go wild, you never go back!” So if fires, getting dirty, canoeing, and small groups are your thing – than sign up for wilderness!
