A place where young girls can truly be themselves! Camp is a wonderful opportunity for girls to have a great time and learn skills like canoeing, tennis and swimming. These are all valuable things, but we believe camp should be much more. Camp Oconto is an all girls camp that has been in operation for over 95 years. We provide an opportunity for our campers aged 4 to 16 to learn life skills, to develop new friendships, and to learn to get along with people of many different backgrounds and personalities. They learn to have a positive outlook, to give of themselves and to appreciate nature. We also offer two introductory camp programs, Chickadees and Robins. Our staff returns year after year and are comprised of people who have been campers, and CITs, and have been known to the Directors, often from the age of 8! Camp Oconto is located in a beautiful, natural spot. Oconto has comfortable beds in zebos (see FAQs) for girls 10 and up, and cabins for those younger than 10. These are located around our main bay so that we can all take advantage of the breeze and the incredible view! Bathrooms are flush toilets located close to the cabins and zebos.

A DAY ATOCONTOCampers are given the opportunity to excel in the activities they choose, and the older they get, the more they can determine their own programming. Those more inclined to one activity are encouraged to grow in others. “Doing nothing” during an activity period is not an option – we want you to get the most out of your Oconto experience.

Tuck in with counsellors and quiet time in cabins to prepare for bed |
We have a wide variety of athletic and creative activities. Campers can try something new, or move through different achievement levels in something she loves – either way, she’ll be proud of her accomplishments.
In the sports areas, campers can accomplish award levels based on recognized sports’ affiliations. Everyone in camp takes swimming lessons (one period per day).
There is quiet time, but not when you are at activities!

THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO!
