# Muskoka Woods

> Muskoka Woods is a Christian non-profit youth development organization on the shores of Lake Rosseau in Rosseau, Ontario, Canada. Founded in 1979, it is one of Ontario's premier overnight summer camps and serves over 25,000 young people (ages 6–16) each year through summer camp, school trips, retreats, and leadership development. Its vision is to "inspire youth to shape their world," nurturing body, mind, and spirit through adventure and reflection.

Muskoka Woods runs age-specific overnight summer camp programs alongside year-round school-trip, retreat, and leadership offerings. It is known for one of North America's highest staff-to-guest supervision ratios (2:4), world-class staff training in partnership with child-protection experts, accessible and neurodiverse-inclusive programming, and premium waterfront facilities including a 50+ activity roster, a 1,000-foot zipline, a six-lane waterslide, and an inflatable waterpark. Programming is guided by six core values: Lead, Accept, Protect, Invite, Challenge, and Celebrate.
