Where Land, Culture, and Community Come Together
Where Land, Culture, and Community Come Together
Nestled on 327 acres of open fields, forest, and pristine waterfront in Northwestern Ontario, our Camp is a place where children, youth, and families come together to connect with nature, culture, and each other. At the Youth & Family Wellness Camp, we believe in creating spaces where joy, curiosity, and community thrive—where everyone feels welcomed, supported, and inspired to grow.
Our Mission, Vision, and Values
Over the next few months, we’ll be starting a strategic planning process for the Youth & Family Wellness Camp. This work is about taking a step back to reflect on where the Camp is today, listening to the voices of our communities and staff, and setting clear priorities for where we’re headed. We can’t wait to share what we learn!
Until then… We envision an Indigenous led community where youth and families can explore the outdoors, build resilience, and celebrate culture and community in a safe and nurturing environment. Through hands-on experiences, land-based learning, and cultural teachings, we help participants build confidence, life skills, and a sense of belonging.
Why Camp Matters
At the heart of the Youth & Family Wellness Camp is community. Here, youth, families form lasting connections, discover their strengths, and celebrate
the beauty of the land and culture.
By blending education, recreation, and wellness, we offer transformative experiences that leave participants feeling empowered, inspired, and ready to carry these lessons into their everyday lives.
