A TYPICAL DAY AT TANAMAKOON

camp fire Canada Day typical day

The following is the outline for a typical day at Tanamakoon! Campers from grades 1-4 are in a structured program where choices are made for them so that we can ensure they are getting a variety of activities as well as a solid foundation in the core activities of camp. Campers grade 5 and up choose 4 activities each day. The staff help oversee these choices to again ensure that there is variety and a progression in skill development mixed with lots of fun and recreation!

All campers have the opportunity to go on cookouts, overnights and canoe trips. See our Canoe Tripping tab for more information.
