Couchiching isn’t the oldest camp in the country, but it shares a tradition with those that are. The camp has also long been at the leading edge of what camps can offer, and who they can offer it to. Cooch was perhaps one of the first to go entirely co-ed, which it did in the 1960s, though it had offered girls’ programs prior to that. Soon after, the administration sought to reach kids with special medical needs, and established the Ontario Cystic Fibrosis Camp. The idea, in that and other like programs that followed, was to allow kids to get beyond their exceptionalities: the camp provided the supports they needed, within a community that didn’t see them as exceptional. Today, that model is common throughout the world of camping, though at the time it was fairly groundbreaking. And while times have changed, the values haven’t, and Couchiching rightly prides itself on bringing kids together in order to grow, build friendships, and participate in a values-based community. The camp community extends well beyond the summer, or even youth—the relationships begun here continue into campers’ adult lives, as demonstrated in part through an involved community of camp alumni.
Camp Couchiching is a traditional summer camp that finds its success through the connections we make to our campers. Often coined a "community camp" the Camp Couchiching experience is ideal for kids who are interested in the development of social skills.
A camp of up to 170 campers, this challenge by choice program encourages campers to engage in programs with different groups throughout the day.
Like the thousands of people who have Camp Couchiching as a special part of their life, please join us to "Catch a Smile" at Camp Couchiching.
Our staff come from many different backgrounds. Many have "grown up" at Camp but we are always welcoming of awesome new people to round out our staff team. Our staff come with their First Aid, CPR and a clear criminal reference check and then we work to train people how to support campers, identify hazards and make things FUN!
