How do the campers get to camp?

Mi-A-Kon-Da draws children from around the world, some of our campers arrive by airplane into Toronto. All major airlines have an unaccompanied minor program and our staff will be there when they arrive at the airport. For children who are closer to the camp, driving here is an option. The majority of campers elect to use our coach bus service that is exclusive for our camp to and from Toronto.

Can the campers write home and can I send a letter or parcel?

Camp Mi-A-Kon-Da definitely encourages campers to write letters home regularly and we hope that parents and friends will write. Letters and parcels are distributed on a daily basis. Parcels and letters may be sent by regular or Express Post. Purolator does not deliver to camp. Please do not send food or have the children bring food to camp. Campers will have plenty of food and snacks throughout the day. We have a No Nut Policy and food in tents encourages animals to become pests.

How does your camp communicate with families during the summer?

Telephone - The camp toll free number of 1-877-642-5663 can be called at anytime. In the event that no one is available, a message can be left and will be returned as soon as possible. We also have an additional camp phone number (705-389-1462) which is staffed at limited times throughout each camp day.

Camp visits - We provide parents/families with the opportunity to visit the camper and camp throughout the week. This should be booked in advance to ensure that your daughter is not out of camp on a canoe trip and to accommodate boat transportation and meal planning. There is a nominal cost per person for each visit. We recommend that first time campers and two week campers have visitors at the end of their two week stay. This allows them to enjoy the full experience of camp.
