Introductory Periods

This serves as perfect introductions to overnight camp. This Period is also ideal for those campers looking for a short-stay residential camp experience. Living in a cabin with other boys or girls of a similar age, campers are introduced to a traditional overnight camp experience in a supportive and encouraging community. A 4:1 staff-to-camper ratio ensures each camper receives individual care and attention throughout their week at Camp.

Cabin-based programming is the approach that these Periods are based upon. Campers are introduced to Wenonah’s most popular program areas, and are taught program skills by their counsellors and program instructors. Campers can expect to learn skills in canoeing, kayaking, tennis, climbing & initiatives, archery, arts & crafts, and outdoor living. Wenonah’s popular camp-wide programs, section-based activities, and exciting evening options are featured each day.

At Camp, our objective is for each child to develop a sense of independence and appreciation for nature while enjoying a variety of outdoor activities. Many long-time Wenonah campers enjoyed their first overnight experience during our Introductory Periods.
