What reviewers say

    My twin young teens had an excellent camp experience at Can- Aqua in August 2025! My daughter ( who attends a month long summer camp in the U.S.) and my son- brand new to camping - spent a fun one week at Can-aqua. The counsellors were fantastic, met the kids on arrival and put them right at ease. The grounds and facilities are lovely with brand new pickleball and basketball courts and a new dive tower. The lake and swimming area is gorgeous . The cabins are basic and adequate. Both myself and my daughter have attended many sleep away camps and this ranks as one of the best.
    Despite it being unseasonably cold for August- my kids waterskied, swam and really enjoyed the…

    This is my 11-year-old's third year and she loves it. The counsellors are friendly and attentive, and the activities are always a hit. She looks forward to Camp Can-Aqua every year.

    Our three kids just finished their 4th and 3rd year at camp can aqua. They love going to this camp, with each year being better than the year before. They enjoy the water activities, camping trips, games, zip-lining and pickle ball courts. Every year the camp seems to add something new to keep it exciting. Overall great camp with enthusiastic staff and lots of fun things for the kids to do— they are already talking about next summer !

    Me and my family (kids aged 5-7) have attended a few family camp events over the past couple years and have always had a fantastic time! Last summer we were worried that my 7 year old daughter would be too young to have a full camp experience, but we ended up signing her up for a one-week session. Well, she enjoyed herself so much, that we were able to sign her up for a second week! I have just registered her for a 2 week session for the upcoming summer and she can't wait to return. Thanks to all the wonderful camp staff who have provided such positive memories and experiences! My youngest daughter can't wait to come to camp when she is a bit older!

    Our daughter LOVED her first year at Camp Can-Aqua! All of the staff were so friendly and welcoming, to the point that our son who was not registered for camp thought that he would also like to stay on arrival day. The food was kid-friendly and the variety of activities were well planned. Our daughter can’t wait to go back again next year. Thanks for the amazing experiences and memories that you created for her!

    Having been a camper & member of their Leadership programs, Camp Can-Aqua is truly a wonderful place to spend parts of your summer!
    Hence the name, Camp Can-Aqua has a focus on water activities & sports (Water Skiing, canoeing, swimming, kayaking, etc), however your child essentially holds the power to participate in a wide host of land activities, such as Nature, Archery, Campcraft or Woodworking. Each and every one of these instructors of specific activities are committed to teaching the children & making sure they have the best time of their lives! Many of these activities have awards that are taught in a fun way; for example, the most advanced Archery award…
