Northwaters Wilderness Programs
Wilderness canoe tripping program
Our wilderness canoe trips take us through some of the most beautiful country in the world. Northwaters offers a unique blend of adventure and personal growth in a highly supportive environment. While the experience is challenging, it is not about conquering rivers or mountains, but about learning from the land in a spirit that honors balance, trust and respect. We believe that when participants learn how to handle life on the trail, they become better equipped to handle life in general. Teeth to the Wind!
Programs available for girls (age 11-14), coed (age 13-19), and boys (age 10-19). Northwaters offers wilderness canoe expeditions in Ontario, Canada; separate 2, 3-1/2, and 7 week sessions.

Camp Ak-O-Mak
Residential girls' summer camp
Founded in 1928, Camp Ak-O-Mak is one of North America's finest sports camps, renowned for its competitive and open water swimming programs. Ak-O-Mak provides the perfect combination of a traditional summer camp experience with instruction in over 32 sports/activities. Competitive programs are offered in swimming, triathlon, and canoe/kayak sprint racing, for all levels, overseen by visiting professional coaches.
Ak-O-Mak is located on beautiful Ahmic Lake in the unspoiled Almaguin Highlands of Ontario. Our location provides the perfect setting for girls to appreciate the wonders of nature "unplugged" from the stresses of urban life. Ak-O-Mak helps girls discover the exhilaration of pushing oneself a little further, of digging a little deeper and discovering that "I CAN do it!" feeling which one carries into other aspects of life. It has been said that "Self esteem is gained through the self doing things worthy of esteem!" and we have 80 years of alumni who can attest to this. Ak-O-Mak's smaller size (maximum 100 campers and a 3:1 staff:camper ratio) fosters a closely knit atmosphere where all ages get to know, support and encourage each other. These relationships contribute to the safe environment where girls can develop their athletic skills and experience challenges that enhance personal and social development. Campers from Canada, the USA and the world over enjoy cabin living, campfires, home cooked meals and forging life-long friendships
