Lakefield summer camps for 2026

Lakefield is one of many northern destinations for families throughout Ontario who want to give their kids the overnight summer camp experience. Kids take part in classic camp activities like canoeing, swimming, hiking, and campfires. Every day is a new adventure. Overnight camps spark friendships that are uniquely deep and long-lasting.

Camps provide a structured environment where kids meet others from all over the province.

They get to see unique wildlife like moose; they may hear wolves calling at night; they’ll be able to look up at a night sky filled with thousands of stars. 

The hidden benefit of overnight camps is that they invest kids with prodigious maturity. 

• Shy kids come out of their shells. 
• Kids become more independent when they have to take care of their stuff and live in a bunkhouse with other kids their age, away from the watchful eyes of parents. 
• They gain courage and confidence when they take on challenges like rock climbing
• They learn to appreciate nature and the environment more.
