The safety and well-being of our camp community remains our number one priority.
While things are changing every day, Onondaga Camp continues to plan for a safe and fun-filled summer for both campers and staff. We understand that certain protocols and policies may be in place for next summer and will look to our local health unit, health professionals, the government and the Ontario Camps Association for guidance to ensure a safe program for all.
Despite the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, we continue to work towards an incredible summer at camp – something all of our campers truly deserve. We do, however, want to reassure our families that, just as we did last summer, in the unlikely event that Onondaga Camp does not operate for the 2021 summer season as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a full refund, including the deposit and administration fee, will be returned to registered families.
We welcome you to contact us with any questions you may have. It is important that all of our families feel safe and confident in their decision to send their children to camp for Summer 2021.

Onondaga is one of the oldest camps in the country. It was established by Keith Crowther, a staff member of Upper Canada College, and was moved to its current site in 1931, and it’s been co-ed since 1975. There’s a lot of history, and the current owners, all past campers, bought the camp in 1992 and have since developed the property, including a new dining hall completed in 2004. While the site may not show its age in the way that other camps might, the program continues to reflect the ideals that were established with the founding of the camp all those years ago. Traditional activities have been augmented over the years, including high ropes, wakeboarding, and a driving range for golf instruction. The breadth of programming is a draw, both for campers looking to further develop their skills, as well as those interested in trying new things. The board of directors includes three past directors, which, in addition to Duncan Robertson’s 25 years at Onondaga, offers a nice continuity to the maintenance and development of the camp experience.

Duncan Robertson, Director and Part Owner
Leading our entire program is Camp Director and part owner, Duncan Robertson, who can call upon over 30 years worth of experience as a camper, staff member and director. Duncan has been actively involved with the Ontario Camps Association, serving as a board member for five years. He is also a board member of the Society of Camp Directors, and has given presentations on many topics over the years at provincial, national and international camping conferences. He is supported by an active Board of Directors: David Hadden, David Lever and Michael Moore, each of whom has been a director of the camp in the past.
Onondaga Camp has three huge water trampolines, each with many accessories including "The Blob." This activity is always popular during activity periods and is a great place to spend free time as well.
