About Camp Simpresca:

Camp Simpresca is a co-ed, residential summer camp located on the beautiful shores of Georgian Bay. During the summer months we run week-long sessions for campers aged 8-16, “mini-camp” sessions for campers aged 6-10, as well as our LIT and CIT leadership programs! We have 7 programs at camp: high ropes, sports and games, arts and crafts, discovery, environment, boating, and swimming. Camp sessions run Sunday to Saturday, so staff have a 24 hour time off on the weekends, as well as a four day break in the middle of the summer. With approximately thirty summer staff, and eighty campers each session, Simpresca is a uniquely small and tight-knit camping community, bound to help you have the best summer ever!
