George (alumnus)The best way to spend a summer Heading to Hurontario is the best way to spend a summer! Whether on a canoe trip in Labrador, sailing on the Georgian Bay, or watching a sunset with your friends, camp allowed me to develop life skills that I simply couldn’t have found anywhere else. At camp I met some of my closest friends, gained confide... Show More |
Cam (alumnus)Lifelong Friends I had the pleasure of working at Hurontario from the ages 16 to 21, and can wholeheartedly say that the experience has provided me with numerous lifelong friends in both campers and staff, many challenges and educational experiences, and an immense love and respect for the outdoors. In an environment where s... Show More |
Catherine (alumnus)Memories that will last a lifetime Hurontario has been a key part of our extended family for decades. My brothers and my husband all grew up at the camp, now followed by our two sons and my nephews. The back to nature, rustic approach of Hurontario is exactly the break our boys need every summer from screen-filled city living. The confidence ... Show More |
Emily (parent)A Second Home This is one of the best things that a parent could possibly wish for – that their children would have a few very special places that they can call “home”, to truly feel at home in these special places, and to look forward to being back the moment they leave! This makes us the happiest every summer when we... Show More |

Sam (parent)Above and Beyond Rowan absolutely adored his counsellors, and we know that they both (and others) went above and beyond in their support of Rowan in his first experience away from home. |
Liane (parent)Experience of a Lifetime Atzin had a great time at camp! Thank you for all your support! In addition to having a great time, he got his Bronze Medallion, conquered his fear of heights, climbed to the top of the rock climbing wall and jumped off several cliffs into the water. He improved his canoe sterning skills and learned to feather ... Show More |
Claudia (parent)Special Memories Niko came back home full of excitement. He expressed that on his first day after 10 minutes of getting into his cabin, his stress disappeared. He got along very well with the 8 of his cabin partners, he loved the activities, he missed his phone the first two days and then after that he did not care anymore, he ... Show More |
If overnight camp should be an epic experience, then Camp Hurontario’s origin story is suitably near-mythical. Russell Marston is a third-generation camp director in a place his grandfather discovered while canoeing in the northern Ontario wilderness in 1946. The story recounted here is that his grandfather sought shelter from a storm and woke up the next morning to breathtaking beauty that inspired him to say, "This is where I will have my camp." He founded Hurontario the next year, and it remains today what it was at the beginning: a camp where boys can live and work together, form meaningful relationships, grow leadership skills, and gain a sense of themselves. The most traditional camp activities—canoeing, tripping, sailing, the arts—have been augmented over the years, though done very intentionally to ensure that the focus on values, character, and leadership remain the core of the program.
