Canada's premier canoe-tripping camp has been teaching self-reliance and leadership skills since 1931.
I have such wonderful memories of Camp Wanapitei! My family was there 3 years in a row – 1959, 1960, and 1961. I was in the “junior boys cabin” with counselor Pat, then Mildred. I remember picking blueberries by the shore, drinking water straight from the lake, swimming my 40 yards, catching fish off the dock, and of course the flights there in the schoolbus-colored seaplane. I am now 61 years old but I treasure those memories.
