Camp Tamakwa

Camp Tamakwa is a private co-ed residential children's summer camp nestled along the winding shoreline of South Tea Lake, deep within Algonquin Provincial Park — roughly 2. 5 hours north of Toronto.

The camp occupies a strikingly picturesque and secluded setting, with Tamakwa serving as essentially the sole user of South Tea Lake, a roughly one-square-mile body of water dotted with three islands.

The most notable of these, "Treasure Island," sits about half a mile offshore and serves as a traditional destination for long-distance swims.

In the off-season, the property transitions into a venue for outdoor education, leadership development, team building, corporate retreats, and family gatherings, making use of its Algonquin wilderness backdrop year-round.
