A Circus of a Day
The brief rain storm that started the afternoon didn’t dampen our spirits at all – in fact in true Arowhon style, our campers jumped right in to the puddles of fun! The rain cleared up though and the much-anticipated Circus Day 2017 proceeded without a hitch. From the spectacular skit after breakfast featuring acrobats, clowns, […]
ContinueSeth Godin has Returned!
We had a beloved Arowhon alumni return to us today. Seth Godin has come back to the place he loves. When Seth visits profound things happen here. Suddenly we see people walking around camp juggling, the LIT’s leave a session feeling renewed inspiration to learn and grow, juniors solo canoes in high wind. There is […]

The older kids continued to […]

Just for Laughs

ContinueAnother beautiful day in Algonquin park!
The weather just seems to be getting better and better. Today we had our senior girl canoe trips return. Some from the Whitney, in the southeast end of the park, and others from the Magnetewan River, where they had a great time paddling world-class white water. Today also saw the beginning of the camper tennis […]

What a day! The sun was shining and activities were in full swing today at #planetarowhon – The Brick and The Block (as Ben Dekoven, our co-head of sail, has styled himself) hosted our first sail race of summer; alumni Jonathan Newman led an fun-packed period of ‘Newmania’, which toured every inflatable swim toy and […]

As the sun sets over Tepee Lake we are basking in the glow of a real, hot, sunny summer day! The mud is beginning to dry out and the puddle-jumping is being replaced with the regular favourites of tetherball, gaga, and roofball as rest hour pass times (for most of our campers there’s too much fun […]
