Welcome to Camp Otonabee!
Camp Otonabee provides the opportunity for children and youth to engage in outdoor activities and discover the natural world. Campers will acquire new skills, build self-confidence and establish lasting friendships.
Our experienced staff provide campers with the support, attention, and care they need while away from home. All staff are trained in first aid and CPR and lifeguards are nationally certified. All staff must complete a background check and participate in an extensive training program.
Virtual Information Sessions and Open House
We will be hosting several virtual information sessions where families can learn more about YMCA Camp Otonabee and the programs that are offered. In the spring, we will host a drop-in open house event where families can take a tour of camp and see where the magic comes to life!
