    Survival camps are found throughout northern Ontario, including the regions of Temagami, the Huntsville and Algonquin areas, and regions as far north as James Bay and Hudson Bay. These are ideal for kids and teens who want to take adventure to a whole new level or want to gain a deeper understanding of life in the woods or get in touch with a part of our past that seems to be receding for good. Given the isolation inherent here, this category has many exclusively boys' summer camps as well as girls' summer camps.  Learn to survive and thrive in Canada’s harsh wilderness at one of these thrilling, adventurous, and educational summer camps.

    The adventure camps listed here will be able to offer you deep background on what you will learn and what you will need to do in order to survive in the woods.
