OUR KIDS review of Camp Hurontario

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.
