Red Wolf Overnight Camp
Find yourself in the woods this summer.
Live in the woods: Less stuff. More skills. More confidence, connection, and independence.
At Red Wolf, kids and teens get the rare chance to fully immerse themselves in Haliburton’s backcountry. Living in the woods with peers and experienced mentors, campers explore forests and lakes, sleep in tents, learn real wilderness skills, play games, create with their hands, and make close friends.
They come home with new skills and great stories, along with greater confidence, independence, and a deeper connection to nature.
Life at Red Wolf
Red Wolf takes camp into the backcountry. Campers live together in the woods, sleep in tents, cook over fires, swim and paddle, carve and craft, track wildlife, forage, build shelters, play games, share stories, and spend their days exploring the land around them.
There are no cabins or dining halls. Instead, campers become part of a close-knit community and learn to feel comfortable and capable outdoors, with experienced mentors there to guide them every step of the way. Think the fun and community of summer camp, with the immersion and simplicity of a backcountry canoe trip.

What families say
"Red Wolf was an amazingly immersive experience for all three of my children. I was hoping they would learn new skills, gain some confidence and grow through their experiences in the woods, and my hopes were met with amazing tales of fun, experience and moving through challenges. I will forever be grateful for how well Red Wolf Camp met my children where they were at, and how they facilitated confidence building, resiliency, and recognized them for their growth."
Tara Parent of Ashlyn, Logan and Eliza
"I was worried I would be very homesick but the counsellors made me feel safe and comfortable in our community. I loved all the things we did together- canoeing, basket making and carving, swimming and games. The opening and closing fires were so special as big group and our group overnight was a really meaningful experience that pushed me to grow and is something I will never forget!"
Huckleberry Camper, age 12
“Red Wolf provides children with a unique chance to immerse themselves in nature, face new challenges, and take a break from the chaos of everyday life. The difference it has made in Owen is remarkable. Each summer, he returns home more mature, responsible, and thoughtful, with a deeper understanding of himself.”
Heather Parent of Owen, age 10
