Not a camp for lily dippers. Not many places like this left. A gem of experience and Canadian culture. Paddle and portage. Explore. This place is more than a location it’s a family. Love them.

Best camp experience loved the 2 week white water trip on the sturgeon first trip in 10 years

Wanapitei Camp is a canoe-tripping camp. With the support of the leadership team, all staff and experienced trip leaders, campers head out on overnight canoe trips, the trips lengthening as age increases. Trip experiences are like none other. They return with stories of the wilderness, the challenges, the calmness, the wildlife, the independence, the teamwork and the fun. My daughter went to Wanapitei for years, working and saving her money to help finance her trips, including V2 after Grade 12. Importantly, as a parent, I always felt confident for their safety and welcomed at camp for trip returns and celebrations. This is a strong community with decades of experience…
