Tawingo is a Summer camp where Erik is an Alumnus. The camp has a NO ALCOHOL (or recreational Drug) policy and will be strictly enforced by the coordinator. There will be optional programming (Hiking, XC Skiing, Snowshoeing, Star gazing, Camp Fires, etc.) to take advantage of, or you can do your own thing. Meal times are strict and a non- denominational grace is typically sung before each meal. Tawingo sits on the shore of Lake Vernon on
a 200 acre property with numerous x-country
trails. The cost includes
meals from Saturday breakfast through
Sunday lunch - a light snack will be available
on Friday night.. (Dessert is always served
with both Lunch & Dinner - Wahoo!!!).

typical cabin Click Here.
We will have full access to the property
including several cabins that sleep up to 10
(including several in bunk beds), but our plan
is to have 6-8 people per cabin depending on
the demographic of the group. Tawingo has a
good selection of x-country ski and snowshoe
equipment we can use (free), but if you own
your own you are encouraged to bring it, as the
camp's equipment is on a first come first
served basis. Tawingo has a nice assortment of
tubes and bunk mattresses and inner tubes you
can do some “tubing” on. I'm afraid you'll
have to get yourself back up the hill to do it
again, as there is no ski lift. To make sure everyone has the same
expectations of the event, here is a
description of the environment & policies from
the camp director:
The Tawingo Outdoor Centre
is a children’s summer camp (Camp Tawingo)
adapted for full season use by a variety of
groups - from youths to families to adults. We
offer economical access to the beautiful
Muskoka Region, qualified outdoor leadership
and full range of program activities/equipment
to enjoy in various seasons. Accommodation is
provided in full-service, winterized cabins. On
family weekends, we assign one cabin per
family. At other times and with other groups,
we expect group living in the cabins (8-10
children or 4-6 adults). Visitors are expected
to provide their own bedding and toiletries.
Food service is served as family-style, fixed
menu dining at specific times over the weekend.
We provide opportunity for guided outdoor
activities as well as personal choices in
nature. We welcome individuals and participants
who are ready to ‘pitch in’ to the shared
responsibilities of group living, table setting
and cabin clean-up.
Our reputation as a leader in summer
camping across the country with renown beyond
our borders is tied inextricably to every group
that visits regardless of the time of year. It
is for this reason that some of our policies
and procedures reflect our historical
connection to youth, healthy living and the out
of doors. We have a no smoking and no alcohol
policy at Camp. In addition, we ask that you
leave your pets at home. We ask you to assist
in setting tables and maintain your cabin
cleanliness while you are with us
The Tawingo experience is somewhere between
rustic-camp living and a 4 Star resort weekend,
between a barrack of outdoor recruits and an
intimate weekend with friends. We promise a
memorable visit to our beautiful home. We hope
you can join us in the spirit of community and
enjoy the best outdoor event that we can create
together.

to share a cabin, please let me know and I'll
do my best to accommodate. Distributed
Carpools may be arranged in advance depending
on where members/drivers are coming from in the

also very flexible with respect to dietary
