Camp Northway

Overview

Northway offers a wilderness camp program based on our outdoor setting of swimming, sailing, canoeing, kayaking, arts and crafts and dramatics. Canoe trips are the most special and loved of all activities. Camp Northway has developed an unmatched style, spirit and skill in canoe tripping. Our esteemed overnight summer programs have been running for over a hundred years, with campers returning summer after summer.

Campers practice their canoeing skills in Northway’s cedar-strip canoes through several stages of proficiency. Our fleet of Optimist Prams, Lasers, and Sunfish provides a great choice of sailboats for campers to meet the challenge of Cache Lake’s inlets and cross-winds. The pure, clear water of Cache Lake is a lovely place for girls to learn to improve their swimming style. Northway follows the Royal Lifesaving Society program.

Our Craft House is open all day, so between canoeing, swimming, sailing and kayaking lessons, campers can drop in when the creative spirit moves them. Girls may work independently with their choice of the Craft House supplies, or with the help of the Craft Counsellors. Our Dramatics Counsellors have been producing two full musicals each summer.
