About Camp

Camp Muskoka’s L.I.T. program focuses on the development of a variety of Life Skills that we believe to be the cornerstones of a responsible contributor to society. In addition to promoting Camp Muskoka’s core values of Respect, Honesty and Accountability, the following are some of the many attributes taught through our Leadership Program:

BE A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL:

If you are going to be a leader, be a good leader! Younger campers look to you for guidance and will mimic your behavior. At camp, we often call this ‘PDP’ or Pass Down Principle.

BE CARING:

To lead people, you must show respect for them. Leadership is about who you are and how you treat people, not what you know. People don’t care about how much you know until you show how much you care.

USE ACTIVE LISTENING:

Letting someone be heard and allowing them to vent is often the best way to resolve a problem. Try to let them work out a solution themselves while keeping them on track.

BE PREPARED AND ORGANIZED:

It is difficult to get somewhere you’ve never been without a map. By planning, making lists, and then following a set course you will be more likely to achieve the set goal. But remember, success does not come without adjustments. Always expect the unexpected.

BE GRACIOUS:

Thanks or acknowledgement of one’s contribution should be given both publically and privately by a leader who appreciates everyone’s efforts.

BE ATTENTIVE:

By staying attentive, strong leaders can observe and resolve potential conflicting issues before they become major problems.

BE ACCOUNTABLE:

A good leader is able to accept responsibility for both the good and the bad.

MAINTAIN POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS:

Leaders do not dictate directions and sit back and watch others do what has been told to them. A good leader participates instead of watching from the sidelines. Leadership is not something that you do to people it is something that you do with people.

As leadership campers gain experience they are encouraged to become more involved in mentoring some of our younger campers through our in-camp placements, all the while being supervised by our trained leadership team. The experiences gained through our leadership programs will assist our youth in refining life skills, making them great contributors to society and ideal prospects for future counselor positions. At Camp Muskoka we work towards recognizing campers, not for competitive activity, but for the personal achievement of goals and the development of leadership qualities. Leadership campers will be required to complete a questionnaire prior to their arrival. L.I.T.s should be enthusiastic, creative, and eager to learn.

ACTIVITIES

Kindle Lifelong Friendships through the magic of the Camp Muskoka Experience

At Camp Muskoka we believe the magic of the camp experience starts with a shared community, helping campers develop new skills and build self-esteem all while enjoying the wonders of nature - a truly incredible summer vacation!

At Camp Muskoka, we use a “Choose Your Own Adventure” approach to programming. Each day, campers choose from a wide variety of activities.

To maximize the campers’ experience, activities are offered at variable skill levels. For campers wishing to try new things we offer introductory and recreational level programs. For campers wishing to further develop their skills, more advanced and competitive programs are offered. Campers will also enjoy camp-wide games, camp-outs, campfires, and to celebrate the summer fun, we end off each week with a special theme day and a karaoke dance party. Activity group sizes vary as some activities such as guitar lessons are best offered in small intimate groups whereas other activities like capture-the-flag are best suited to larger groups. Popular programs are offered several times throughout the week so each camper has the opportunity to custom design their own camp experience. With more than 50 activities offered throughout each week, there is always something for everyone.

Along with all the traditional summer camp activities like swimming, sports, canoeing, and arts & crafts, we also offer several feature programs like guitar workshops, our music recording studio, mountain biking, and bouldering. All feature programs are included in standard camp fees. For those adventure seeking campers, we have 4 “Specialty Programs.” These optional programs are offered at an additional fee and subject to availability.

Community living is a key component to the Camp Muskoka Experience. All campers contribute and share in community initiatives such as cabin clean up, helping to tidy up the dining hall after meals and setting up for special events.
