WHAT LAND BASED PROGRAMS WILL MY CAMPER DO?

-
Climbing Wall
-
Arts & Crafts
-
Archery
-
Rock Throwing
-
Drama
-
Outdoor Living Skills
-
Sports

High & Low Ropes Courses
WHAT WATER BASED ACTIVITIES WILL MY CAMPER DO?
Campers do a swim assessment on the first day. This allows us to know each person's comfort in the water.
Beach Parties are a part of everyday.
Other days will find our campers at canoe, kayaking or stand up paddleboarding.
If we have the staff to lead it, we also may take our older campers on some sailboat rides.
MY CAMPER IS TOO YOUNG OR OLD. HOW DO WE GET IN?
Youth who are within our stated age range of 6-12 years of age in the calendar year of 2025 will have first priority for our limited camper program spots.
Youth aged 12-15 have first priority for the one-week August leadership program.
​
If you apply using the wrong date of birth in order to "sneak" your kiddo in then we will cancel your application.
​
Persons outside of these age parametres will be assessed in late March if there are still spaces open. Please email info@campcouchiching.com to get on this list.
WHAT IS THE BUS LIKE?
If your family choose our subsidized & supervised bus to/from Orillia then the bus leaves for Camp at 9 a.m. (drop off at the bus stop anytime after 8:45 a.m.) and returns from Camp at 5:00-5:20 p.m.
​
The bus costs Camp about $35-$50/person depending how many people sign up. We charge $15/person for the week regardless of how often your camper takes the bus.
Bus cancellations for the full week are available in full on/before May 28. After that date, 50% can be refunded.
​Our bus stop location will be confirmed in June as we aren't able to secure our permit yet however, we are trying to get our permit for Orillia Secondary School, at 250 Collegiate Drive, again for 2025.
WHAT IS THIS NEW DAY CAMP LEADERSHIP PROGRAM ALL ABOUT?
The Day Camp Leadership Program is designed for 12-15 year olds to develop essential leadership skills through hands-on activities, teamwork, and mentorship opportunities.
Participants will engage in challenges that foster communication, problem-solving, and decision-making, all while building confidence and responsibility.
This immersive experience will prepare young leaders to guide others and make a positive impact within their community.
By the end of the week, our participants will obtain their Emergency First Aid Certificate.
CAMP MERCH
We love seeing our campers out in the community wearing or sporting our merchandise.
​
An online store will open up for a month in May or June then clothes get delivered to Camp for free or to your home for a charge.
​
We will email the families to launch the clothing store!
