Camp Focus:

Description:

Family owned and operated since 1961, Camp Tawingo offers safe, summer fun in beautiful Muskoka, Ontario. Youthful in spirit yet mature in judgment, our outstanding staff are well-trained, highly motivated and supremely caring.  We take great pride in our 220-acre site of fields, forests, nature trails, beaches, streams, and mountains; our extensive Waterfront; outstanding facilities; creative programs; delicious, nutritious food; and spacious, clean, well-maintained, and fully-equipped cabins. 

Our promise is to instill in our campers an ability to live in harmony with one another and in the out-of-doors.

While education and personal achievement are important in choosing our staff, we place the greatest emphasis on counsellors who love children, who set a good example in their personal habits, who are practiced in outdoor living, and who have a great sense of humour.  Over 95% are “home-grown”, which means they have grown up at Tawingo and are back with the sole purpose of providing for a new generation of Tawingo campers the same kind of extraordinary experience that they, themselves, enjoyed. 

Our staff return rate is close to 80%. Our camper to staff ratio is less than 3:1.  Camp Tawingo counsellors reside in the camper cabins and eat every meal with the campers and help create the outstanding programs and games that their campers enjoy. 

Special care and attention are paid to creating an easy transition from home to camp, fostering friendships for life, building confidence, and providing the experience of a lifetime.  The Program staff make certain that activities truly reflect the needs and interests of the campers.  We employ experienced specialists in swimming, canoeing, sailing, out-tripping, campcraft, nature lore, native crafts, athletics, music, and leadership training.

Camp Tawingo is all about fun, adventure, cooperation, friendship, leadership, inspiration, and citizenship.  It is about kids being all they can be.  To this we are committed.
