Legendary Canadian Wilderness Canoe Trips on Lake Temagami, Ontario
Wabun is a summer camp for boys and girls that is uniquely focused on canoe tripping in the Canadian wilderness. It was established by eight educators in 1933. Five generations have now traveled the lakes and rivers of the Temagami region and nearby Quebec in Wabun red canoes. The traditions of the past linger in the techniques of today with wood/canvas canoes, wannigan boxes, canvas duffel bags and leather tumplines still important ingredients in the Wabun experience.

Wabun’s Philosophy
Wabun provides boys and girls with the opportunity to travel in uncomplicated ways in undisturbed wilderness territories. Campers develop confidence born of competence as they become proficient in canoe-tripping skills, enjoy wonderful growth in maturity and responsibility, and have great fun with other campers and staff. The young adults who leave home in June, return in August more mature, physically stronger, self-assured, and with new friends and confidence that will serve them well through a lifetime of challenges.
