Welcome to Camp Hurontario – celebrating 78 years in camping!
For over seventy summers, Camp Hurontario’s small group philosophy has built lasting friendships, self-confidence and strong personal skills, in a unique non-competitive outdoor environment.
Register Now for Summer 2024Camp Hurontario’s spectacular location in the Thirty Thousand Islands of Georgian Bay, two hours north of Toronto, offers the ideal setting for a wide range of outdoor summer activities, including canoeing, kayaking, sailing, windsurfing, swimming, rock climbing, ropes, archery, fishing, biology and arts.
Our philosophy is designed around growth and development, so that there is always a new and appropriate challenge at each age level. Our small groups and non-competitive atmosphere provides an opportunity for a more flexible approach to learning than that of a school setting. Boys from all over the world are able to develop strong personal skills, great friendships and a wonderful sense of community.
Camp Hurontario offers a variety of sessions from 7 days to three and a half weeks, for boys aged 5 through 16. Sessions are tailored for different age ranges and levels of experience. Camp sessions begin at the end of June. Please refer to our dates and rates for more information.
Please call or email the camp office to schedule an info session with Dave Freel, our Managing Director. Get answers to any questions about Camp Hurontario that you (and your camper) may have.

2023 Testimonials
“My friends were like my brothers”
“A huge thank you to the entire team for an amazing, life-changing week for our son. He has grown and developed so, so much since he was away and has countless memories from his week. It’s honestly like he has come home a different and changed kid, he’s so calm, kind and mature.”
“My experiences at Hurontario both as a camper and staff member were the largest and most positive influences on me in my formative years. Every day I use a skill that I learned at camp, either in my professional life or in my personal life. For those abilities, I am extremely grateful.”
“Our son attended camp 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.”

So great to meet everyone who came to see us at the East York Camp Fair!
And a big thanks to the organisers for putting on such a fun event.
Results! 🎃 Thanks to everyone who took part and sent in their designs. We were blown away!
1. Finny Stacey is our chosen winner for this brilliant original design. Camp maintenance crew - take note of this textbook handy work! Finny, we hope you enjoy your prize treat, on its way to you in the mail.
2 and 3. Runners up Alex Gulledge and Parker Hayes impressed us too! Alex's sailboat design won him points for reminding us of summer sailing memories, and Parker's pumpkin would have made the Hat Sheriff proud by sporting an excellent sunhat.
4. A joint effort from the office staff to carve the camp logo.
5. Don's giant pumpkin got us all smiling just as wide.
6. A selection of efforts from our alumni, Dennis Caplice et al. and Oliver Grocott. How how!
7. Such variety from current staff: Counsellor Matty Graham, an underwater (!) Jack Hutch, and Hannah Bailey proving to us all why she's an ace art instructor.
