Camp Northway

Northway is Canada’s oldest summer camp for girls — a place where tradition and wilderness meet in the heart of Algonquin Park. Founded in 1906 on the shores of beautiful Cache Lake, Northway offers a truly timeless camp experience. Here, girls aged 7–16 live in canvas tents beneath the pines, swim in crystal-clear waters, and set off on unforgettable canoe trips through Algonquin’s lakes and portages. Our campers learn to paddle, cook over a fire, and sleep under the stars — but even more importantly, they discover their strength, independence, and confidence along the way. What makes Northway so special is its spirit. Free from screens and distractions, campers form deep, lifelong friendships and a powerful connection to nature.
