Camps

We camp wait to host you!

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.

The Canadian Canoe Museum offers the following camps:

Summer Day Camps

Our Summer Day Camps promise fun, learning, and lots of paddling for youth ages 8-12! Running for select weeks in July and August, campers will have the chance to cultivate their sense of adventure and their connection to the outdoors. No paddling experience is necessary and all skill levels are welcome.

March Break Camps

Coinciding with the school March Break in the KPRDSB, this day camp is for youth ages 8-12. These camps contain an array of outdoor activities and Exhibition Hall learning that changes daily, though always with a focus on outdoor and experiential education. We offer flexible scheduling – your child can join us for one of our half-day camps, a full day, or multiple days.
