Program overview

Nestled in beautiful Algonquin Park, Camp Ahmek for Boys (1921) and Camp Wapomeo for Girls (1924) have a unique brother-sister relationship grown from nearly 90 years of shared history. We offer an unrivalled balance of out-trip and in-camp programming.

Trips range from overnight to 50 days in length, and routes that explore much of northern Ontario and eastern Quebec. The camps share several facilities and the campers get together throughout the summer for special events and weekly activities.
