About Camp Wendake

Camp Wendake is a one-week residential camp program for children and adults living with HIV/AIDS and their primary caregivers and the only camp of its kind in Ontario.

Set on the beautiful shores of Lake Huron near Bayfield Ontario, Camp Wendake provides a welcoming place to come together with others who share similar life experiences. When we all come together - it is a powerful and life-changing week focused on food, fun, meeting new people and reuniting with old friends ... all while enjoying a beautiful, rustic camp experience.

Camp Wendake is completely volunteer run - from our 40 camp staff to our year-round hard working Governance Committee who fund raises and works with community partners to ensure the sustainability of this incredible program.

For over 25 years, Camp Wendake has offered individuals living with HIV a stigma-free, safe and beautiful space to relax and experience the joy of community.
