Camp Northway is a girls' summer camp located in Northway and a canoe-tripping boys' camp in Wendigo. It offers something different and nature-based, as there is no electricity at either site. This feature helps keep its authenticity and stay true to its roots that started all the way back in 1906.

Camp Northway accepts children aged between 7 and 16, with a maximum of 60 attendees at any time. There's one member of staff per 3 kids to guide them through their wilderness living experience. The boys' canoeing camps are open to 12 to 16-year-olds.

A typical Camp Northway day for girls will include pursuits such as arts and crafts and drama in addition to activities in the water.

Do note that due to the lack of electricity, contact between kids and parents is limited. The use of regular mail is therefore encouraged, though there is also a main phone number for important calls.
