Camp Nominingue

Overview

Founded on the idea that a sleep-away wilderness camp experience would help boys develop responsibility, maturity and leadership, our summer camp program has developed a unique understanding of the needs of boys. As thousands of former campers can attest, a summer at Camp Nominingue is an experience that will stay with you for a lifetime.

Founded in 1925, our facilities set on our 390-acre property are outstanding and provide a safe and perfect environment for summertime fun and adventure. We are a boys summer camp in Quebec, north of Montreal and Mont-Tremblant, with over 2 km of shoreline on Petit lac Nominingue!

Founded in 1925 by F.M. Van Wagner, Camp Nominingue has a long history as one of Canada’s premier sleep-away summer camps for boys. Taking over his father’s legacy, Peter Van Wagner owned and operated the camp until 2015, when he sold the camp to alumni and current owner Erik Blachford and his wife Maryam. Currently, the camp is co-managed by Camp Director Matt Cromey and Business Director Nicole Larin.

Camp Nominingue came into existence on July 4th, 1925, with ten campers and five staff. After a considerable search, the present site was chosen because of its many desirable features, especially the excellent canoe trip possibilities. It turned out even better than was expected.
