The Canadian Canoe Museum is excited to offer a variety of camp options for youth. Whether it is summer day camps, canoe tripping expeditions, or activities for March Break and PA Days, campers can expect to learn new skills and meet new friends in a fun and supportive atmosphere. All our camps utilize our unique collection to inspire hands-on learning and outdoor skills. We bring our exceptional education and leadership to each camp and are certain that campers will leave with smiles on their faces.

Summer Day Camps

An amazing combination of exhibit exploration, paddling skill development, and outdoor activities, our Summer Day Camps run Monday to Friday in July and August for youth ages 8-14. Each week focuses on a different paddling skill level and is balanced by activities inspired by the collection. We provide an exciting, fun, and supportive environment for kids to interact with nature, hone their paddling skills, and enjoy summertime in the Kawarthas.
