Canoeing & Kayaking
Glide across the lake, learn to read the water, and earn your paddling badge with our waterfront crew.
ExploreWildwood is a warm, woodsy overnight and day camp for kids ages 6 to 16. Out here, your child climbs higher, paddles farther, makes their best friends, and comes home glowing with confidence.
Tucked into the forested shore of Lake Wildwood, our camp is a place where screens go quiet and kids get to be wonderfully, joyfully themselves. We blend genuine adventure with the kind of warmth that turns first-time campers into family.
Every camper builds their own week from dozens of activities โ here are a few favourites that fill up fast.

ExploreThree promises we make to every camper and parent.
Lifeguarded waterfront, wilderness first-aid staff on site, low ratios, and secure check-in. Your child's safety guides every decision we make.
Our counsellors learn every camper's name on day one. Homesick or brand new, every kid finds their people in their very first cabin circle.
Trying something hard and nailing it โ that's the Wildwood magic. Campers head home braver, kinder, and a whole lot more independent.
Our days balance high-energy adventure with downtime and rest, so campers always know the rhythm of the day.
A gentle bugle, a stretch in the cool morning air, and the whole camp gathered at the flagpole.
Two chosen activity blocks โ canoeing, climbing, archery, or arts โ led by specialist counsellors.
A hearty meal in the dining hall, then quiet cabin time for letters home, books, and a recharge.
Cool off at the waterfront, join a club, or sign up for a big all-camp adventure.
Songs, skits, and s'mores around the fire before a sleepy walk back under the stars.
Sessions run one or two weeks. Mix and match โ many campers stay for several. Spots fill quickly once the snow melts.
Every Wildwood counsellor is hand-picked, background-checked, and certified in first aid, lifeguarding, or wilderness response. But the thing we really hire for is heart โ the patience, energy, and kindness that makes a camper feel instantly at home.
Certified specialists with days of pre-camp training in safety, inclusion, and child wellbeing.
Cabin counsellors share weekly photo updates and notes so you never miss a milestone.
