Our Sessions
For boys aged 7 to 16, we offer a variety of session lengths: 12-days, 15-days, 19-days, 26-days, as well as longer 40-day, 43-day and 54-day sessions. We also offer four Introductory Camp 8-day sessions for 7 to 9 year old campers coming to camp for a first time and two 8-day Discovery Camp sessions for 10 to 12 year campers also coming to camp for a first time. For 16 year-olds, we run two 26 day Leader-in Training (LIT) sessions. Each session at Camp Nominingue has its own special characteristics:
8-day session for 7-9 year-olds
This one-week session introduces boys to life at Nominingue, living in tents; learning some new outdoor skills: paddling a canoe, cooking over an open fire and exploring in the woods; and experiencing an overnight canoe trip.
8-day discovery camp for 10-12 year-olds
This one-week session introduces boys to life at Nominingue: living in tents; learning some new outdoor skills; paddling a canoe, cooking over an open fire and exploring in the woods. Campers will experience a week of instruction and some great all-camp games during their stay at camp.
26-day LIT Program for 16 year-olds
This session includes lifesaving, wilderness first aid and canoe certification; an 8-day canoe trip; leadership training and opportunities; counsellor training; and a solo experience. More information is available in the programs section of this website.
