Superstars on Stage
As the month draws to a close we’re winding up, not down, here at camp. Awards are being achieved in incredible volume, speaking to the dedication and drive of our campers. There’s nothing quite like seeing (and hearing) the pure, unbridled pride our campers express when they see their friends meet their goals – more […]

Alien Invasion and More!
A lot happened here at Planet Arowhon today! After a sweltering morning of serious humidity, the skies opened up at Rest Hour and treated us to a refreshing downpour that had everyone dancing outside with joy. The storm passed quickly and we were back out at activities for the afternoon. At dinner however, the Head […]

Well we sure shook things up today!!! After a week of regular programming everyone was wondering what the next special activity would be, and nobody was disappointed! This morning at breakfast there was a strange announcement from Mike the Mighty Midget (who turned out to be Jo and Leon dressed up as one person) teaching […]

Energy was high and spirits were up around camp today with another perfect weather day.

To Neverland and Beyond
It was another perfect weather day in Algonquin Park: sunny but not too hot, a nice steady breeze, and skies so clear that the stars tonight are (literally) stellar! But the real stars of the day are the Junior Girls and Boys who performed in the first play of the summer: Peter Pan! It was […]

Super Special Sunday
For our first sleep-in Sunday of the summer we went all out! After a fabulous buffet brunch that got a rave review from critic Joanne Kates, campers had plenty of energy to do a super cabin clean up and distance swims (thanks to all that hollandaise-flavoured fuel). Then we took it up a notch from […]

Buck Lake Bonanza
Our 2018 season of Rustic Lounge performances started with a bang tonight! The Senior Boys have been working tirelessly since they arrived at camp to prepare their 100% original (not to mention wildly hilarious, creative, and good-spirited satire) play about camp life. The boys dressed up as different Arowhon staff members (and pets) and gave […]
