About Friends of Camp Huronda

Over the last few years, a growing group of us have been working towards creating a forum to connect as many Friends of Camp Huronda as possible.

Our vision is to create and support lifelong connections to Camp Huronda by engaging with past, present and future alumni and friends of Camp Huronda to:

  • assist with the ongoing success of Camp Huronda
  • communicate regularly with members
  • facilitate regular social events

This website will be one of many places to make and support these connections.

Check regularly for upcoming events on the events page. Share your pictures, stories and memories of your at camp and after camp experiences.

Looking forward to seeing you at one of our events!

About Camp Huronda

Get to Know Us!

Camp Huronda was founded in 1964. For seven years, Camp Huronda rented space at Camp Beausoleil and Camp Couchiching before finding a permanent home on Lake Waseosa in 1971, at the previous site of Camp Waseosa. Camp Huronda is the only camp facility owned by Diabetes Canada and the only camp that runs a full summer program.

Camp Huronda is located on the shores of Lake Waseosa in Ontario’s beautiful Muskoka area. It occupies 100 acres of land and includes gorgeous waterfront areas, a cool forest, and rugged hiking and mountain bike trails.

Camp Life

Campers live in rustic cabins with their cabin mates and counsellors. Cabins are equipped with bunk beds with built in drawers or bed-side dressers, have emergency exits in the rear of the cabins and are also equipped with fire extinguisher and smoke detectors. Each cabin has an area for blood glucose (sugar) testing and supplies for treating lows, which are checked and replenished on a daily basis.

All camper cabins have live-in counsellors who sleep overnight at camp to support our campers. Camp Huronda operates at a 3:8 ratio, meaning there are three counsellors for a maximum of eight campers per cabin.

Washroom and shower facilities are located in buildings close to the cabins and campers have scheduled shower time every 48 hours. In addition to shower times, campers have the opportunity to swim almost every day.
