OUR KIDS review of Camp Nominingue

Nominingue has had a few ups and downs in its long life, though now is perhaps within its golden age, the one where the programs, the staff, and the culture are as strong as they are impressive. As when it was founded, Nominingue offers a boys’ program operating in English. As such, it draws boys from a wider catchment area, including Montreal, Toronto, and beyond. The draw is the strength of the program, one that seeks to allow boys to grow together, though fun and challenge, and allow them to better understand their strengths and talents, both individually and within a group.

A remarkable facet of Nominingue's identity is its commitment to craftsmanship and tradition. The camp takes pride in constructing its own canoes on-site, an impressive feat that few other camps can claim. These canoes, lovingly built by hand, serve as tangible symbols of the unique and authentic experience that campers encounter every summer. The canoes the boys use at camp, were built on site. Those canoes are found elsewhere, too, including other camps; Wanakita has a few that were bought decades ago but are still in use. The canoes—built here, by hand—underscore the unique yet very traditional experience that campers find here each summer.

And when it comes to the leadership team, they have years of experience—and are a delight to speak with. They know that camp can change lives, and that’s what they do here everyday.
