This has to be the very best summer camp in the country. The staff, management, the grounds and the activities truly enrich the lives of every child that attends. What an amazing chapter in your child's life to be able to attend Camp Can-Aqua!!!! Truly the BEST!!!!*****

A family affair

My husband and his sister were at camp more than 10 years. I was camp nurse for 5 years for 4th session. Our twins are there for their 8th year. What does that tell you?? It's our most favorite place in the world!!

6/5

This is the first time I've ever been to an over night summer camp and this experience was AMAZING. When I got there everyone was so friendly and welcoming and there is always something fun to do would rate it
6/5 if I could.

A Place That Makes Everyone Feel At Home

Camp Can-Aqua is the best place in the world, there is no other place like it. This camp focuses on developing a community and making everyone feel at home. Can-Aqua offers many activities from archery to water skiing and there is always something for everyone. I have been going to Camp Can-Aqua for 10 years now and I cannot imagine my summer without it. Camp Can-Aqua has helped to shape me into the person I am today by pushing me outside my comfort zone to try new things ... Show More

A Place Where She Feels Confident

My daughter has always been nervous about overnight camp. Finally, she has found a place where she feels confident, safe and happy. This is her second year here. Last year, she cried when we picked her up to come home from camp after 2 weeks. This year, she’s all in for a month at camp! Camp Can Aqua is awesome ... Show More

A Summer We Will Never Forget

My oldest son had his first summer up at Camp Can-Aqua and when we picked him up he couldn’t stop raving about the place! LOVED every moment of it, he said everyday he would continuously look forward to the next activity. In fact he spoke so positively about his experience that his younger brother would like to try it out next year! I really like how we would check the Facebook page for pictures that you post while they are up there. A summer he will never forget! My two boys can’t wait for next summer! See you then ...

See You Next Summer

My 11 year old daughter went this summer for her first overnight camp experience as an only child and based on her reviews Camp Can Aqua gets a solid five star rating. To our pleasant surprise, the food was one of the best attributes of the camp apparently which is a total shock since she's is an especially especially picky eater.

Without getting into all the details the proof is in eating the pudding and apparently she's is demanding to go back next summer to eat the pudding.

Special thanks to the staff and the director.

See you next summer

The countdown to Camp is on in our house

My children have attended Camp Can-Aqua now for 4 summers and have had the time of their lives! Can-Aqua has enabled my boys to grow and develop as independent and resilient young people, to develop a wide range of skills (they are now confident and capable canoeists, kayakers and can even water-ski!). They have developed life-long friendships with the children in their cabins, as well as other children at camp through the Can-Aqua games, whole camp programming and activity sessions both on land and water. The staff have been fantastic and looked after my children with great care, while helping them develop independence. This past summer they had staff members from the UK, New Zealand and Spain which was lovely to see! The friendships they have developed over the past two summers have continued to grow. The countdown to next summer and the next visit to Can-Aqua is already on in our house ... Show More

My experience at camp

My daughter just got back from her first week at Camp Can Aqua and immediately asked if she could write a review, so here are some of her thoughts :) “Camp can aqua is amazing . The counselors were very kind and understanding to people when you get home sick they are also super fun. The cabins have good sthave good storage space and lighting. The kybos had some spiders in them but not enough to bother you -tip: (blue kybos are the cleanest) the food there was also decent the Caesar salad was phenomenal. All the activities were great I did not dislike one . They also provide optional swim lessons . My favourite day of the week is tuck day wich means you line up and buy two snacks to eat . And the evening program is always somthing fun like capture the flag or predators versus prey overall this camp is very fun and I do recommend! P.S. all of the cabins were named after birds, I was in the humming birds cabin aka “hummins� ... Show More

Our kids can't imagine a summer without Camp Can-Aqua

Our two boys started at Can-Aqua with a one-week camp at age 6 and four years later they can't imagine a summer without Camp Can-Aqua. Marty and the staff are awesome, the camp itself has great programs and has all the amenities required. The kids love it, and we (the parents) love how it grows their independence, confidence, and skills like tripping, swimming, water skiing, etc ... Show More

OUR KIDS review of Camp Can-Aqua

our take

We often tend to think first of activities at camp: what kids will do there. Camp Can-Aqua, like all great camp programs, is developed with the full range of activities, though leadership addresses itself less to the 'what' than to the 'why'—the activities are there to provide opportunities to grow independence and character, to expose kids to new things, new ideas, and to have fun while they do all of that. That’s the spirit in which Louis Gyori founded the camp more than 30 years ago, and one that continues at the camp today. The core activities are those we associate with traditional camping, and all are applied to allowing kids to gain a greater understanding of who they are and what they are capable of. There are specialty programs, including leadership training, which are a draw for many. The camp also offers family camp sessions, which is great in and of itself, though can also provide a nice entrée to the camp experience and the culture of Can-Aqua.
