  • Hugh S.October 2026

    Went here as a camper for 10 summers and then as a staff for 4, this is the greatest place on earth and you won’t regret sending your son here.

  • Ashley B.June 2025

    My son has been attending Camp Hurontario since he was 7 years old. It is like a second home to him.
    He has made some many wonderful friendships and had great experiences on the Coulonge and Dumoine rivers, add well as an epic 3 week trip to the Hood River in Nunavut.
    There are very few camps that offer whitewater canoe training, and this is what drew us to this camp.

  • Lisa H.February 2024

    Every year my sons come home with amazing stories about the friends they've made, the skills they've learned and the experiences they've had in this incredible place. They start the countdown to next summer as soon as they get home! The staff create a wonderful, caring environment that teaches respect - for others and for the environment - and builds confidence. If you're looking for fancy cabins with hot showers, this isn't the place for you. But if you want your son to have the very best that a "woodsy" water-based camp can offer, this is it!

  • David F.February 2024

    Both boys have loved every summer they have spent at Hurontario. A truly unique place that brings out the best in our kids. Spending time in Georgian Bay with the friends that come back every summer has given them memories that will last for life.

  • Carolyn C.August 2023

    Our son attended the Intro Camp session this summer and absolutely loved it. Truly a special, classic camp experience on a magical property in Georgian Bay with deeply talented and caring staff. We can’t wait to send him back next summer.

  • Ashley W.August 2022

    Active participation of staff to exclude children. Poor Covid screening policy. We were asked to take photos of RAT tests that no one checked. My son contracted Covid 8 days into camp. Several of my sons belongings were missed when a staff member packed his belongings. I’m still waiting on an unanswered email reply. Poor communication to families. No photos or messages home. Save your money!! These people don’t care about the children!! Awful experience!
