About Our Camp

Camp Wasaga offers 19 insulated cabins, a beautiful dining hall with fireplace and a screened veranda. Delicious home cooked meals are served buffet style. The Recreation Hall, complete with stage, fireplace and piano provides space for games, crafts and special activities. A modern central washhouse provides all conveniences. The site is wheelchair accessible (except for the waterfront). The swim area is supervised in the afternoon by a qualified lifeguard. Kayaks, canoes and windsurfers are available in the boating area along with instruction in their safe handling. Mountain bikes are available to explore some of the 32 hiking trails throughout Riding Mountain National Park. A Frisbee golf course, a basketball hoop, a bouldering wall and a volleyball area add to the fun. A two-minute walk from the main site is a special nature activity area for overnights for children, just the right distance from “home”. 

Wasaga’s morning programs cater to the creative urges and interests of children, allowing parents time to pursue their own interests, such as joining the camp naturalist on a guided hike or participating in a canoe orientation. Do as much as you want or as little as you want.  An experienced staff leads the children in interesting and imaginative activities emphasizing learning and fun in the outdoor environment. At day’s end, enjoy a brilliant sunset by the lake and join in songs and games around a roaring campfire.  Adventurous adults can join the guided night-time “thriller hike”. Reflect back on your beautiful day over a hot cup of cocoa among friends by the fireplace. Wasaga offers a bursary to qualifying parents of children sponsored by the Sunshine Fund.

Camp Wasaga is also available for group rentals in the spring and fall.  Our facilities are ideal for youth groups, schools, family reunions, weddings, hiking, golfing and cycling groups, religious groups, organizational and corporate retreats. We offer affordable rental accommodations and meals for weekend, extended-weekend, and week-long stays in May and June as well as from mid-August until Thanksgiving.
