Camp Muskoka Summer Camp 2025

Kindle Lifelong Friendships through the magic of the Camp Muskoka Experience

At Camp Muskoka we believe the magic of the camp experience starts with a shared community, helping campers develop new skills and build self-esteem all while enjoying the wonders of nature - a truly incredible summer vacation!

At Camp Muskoka, we use a “Choose Your Own Adventure” approach to programming. Each day, campers choose from a wide variety of activities.

To maximize the campers’ experience, activities are offered at variable skill levels. For campers wishing to try new things we offer introductory and recreational level programs. For campers wishing to further develop their skills, more advanced and competitive programs are offered. Campers will also enjoy camp-wide games, camp-outs, campfires, and to celebrate the summer fun, we end off each week with a special theme day and a dance party. Activity group sizes vary as some activities such as guitar lessons are best offered in small intimate groups whereas other activities like capture-the-flag are best suited to larger groups. Popular programs are offered several times throughout the week so each camper has the opportunity to custom design their own camp experience. With more than 50 activities offered throughout each week, there is always something for everyone.

Along with all the traditional summer camp activities like swimming, sports, canoeing, and arts & crafts, we also offer several feature programs like guitar workshops, our music recording studio, and mountain biking. All feature programs are included in standard camp fees. For those adventure seeking campers, we have 6 “Specialty Programs.” These optional programs are offered at an additional fee and subject to availability. These included: Aerial Park & Zip Line, Horseback Riding, Paintball, Flyboarding and a Watersports Cable Park. 

Community living is a key component to the Camp Muskoka Experience. All campers contribute and share in community initiatives such as cabin clean up, helping to tidy up the dining hall after meals and setting up for special events.

The Camp Muskoka Way

Ultimately, we are in the business of making “happy campers” and helping children believe in themselves. Camp Muskoka is philosophically grounded in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Simply put, we firmly believe that everyone has physiological needs that must be met in order to have any hope of meeting their more refined needs. For example, a camper won’t be able to enjoy the mental and physical activities at camp without proper nutrition or a comfortable, good night’s sleep.  Likewise, a camper won’t be able to build confidence and friendships if they don’t feel safe. Whether it be providing our campers with healthy well balanced meals throughout the day, having air conditioned lodging to ensure a good night’s rest or nurturing a healthy and safe environment so campers are recognized for their personal achievements;  everything we do is about helping our camper’s reach their highest potential.

The consistent achievement of such a positive community reinforces the participation of all of its members, including the campers. Therefore we have created a simple yet comprehensive set of expectations for all to follow:

FUN:
The number one rule at Camp Muskoka. We want all campers to have fun at all times!

RESPECT:
No one is having fun when they feel disrespected. We expect all members of the Camp Muskoka community to be respectful to themselves, each other, the facility and the environment. To put it quite simply, “Treat others the way you would like to be treated.”

HONESTY:
We teach our campers the value of honesty by acknowledging that not only is it okay, but it is completely normal to make mistakes. It is what we do about our mistakes that is important. By being honest with ourselves and those around us, we not only learn from our mistakes but also allow others to learn as well.

ACCOUNTABILITY:
Being responsible for our own words and actions ensures that we have a positive effect on the Camp Muskoka community while building a safe, enjoyable living environment for everyone.

INTEGRITY:
By being, respectful, honest and accountable we all contribute to fostering a community with integrity where everyone is free to have fun, be safe, and feel accepted for who they are.

We hope you will make Camp Muskoka your choice for an exciting summer camp adventure.
