Activities are designed to allow campers to try new activities in an exciting, small group environment under careful supervision. Wacky games, cabin time, and the IAWAH beach are daily highlights.

Each afternoon all senior campers sign up for the activities of their choice. They may choose to explore the bay on a stand-up paddleboard; work as a team with new friends at IAWAH’s Archery Game; or race around the mountain bike skills course.

For all campers, the process begins in your vehicle. You’ll be greeted by a friendly staff member who will direct you to one of three areas. from there the staff will guide you to your next stop.
Lice check will be completed for each camper upon arrival. If a camper is found to have lice, a treatment package can be purchased from IAWAH. If available, IAWAH will provide a place for the parent/guardian to complete treatment. Only when treatment has been completed, and their bedding & clothing have been tended to can the camper continue through the registration process.
Visit with the Medical staff member onsite for the week: This is not mandatory for all campers. However, if the camper has environmental or food related allergies, is taking medication, or has other health needs both the camper and parent/guardian need to visit with the medical staff to hand in medications and review the camper’s medical needs. All medications (including vitamins, allergy pills, and pain meds need to be handed in to the medical staff)
Getting settled into your accommodations: One of our outstanding staff members will guide campers along with parents/guardians to their accommodation for the week and introduce campers to their cabin leaders.
After registration, campers will participate in small group games within their village of cabins and then enjoy their first supper. After supper, campers will be introduced to some of our supervisory staff and participate in an orientation to IAWAH’s emergency procedures and community living expectations.
Yes! Campers love mail.
Snail Mail: The easiest way to “send” traditional mail to your camper is to write the letters before camp and hand them in to the office staff. This will ensure that the mail actually reaches them and is not lost or delayed by the postal service. Packages do not arrive directly to camp and we cannot guarantee that a package will arrive while your camper is at IAWAH.
Mail: Mail may be sent by using the following address label:
Camp IAWAH
Attn: Camper’s name & Cabin Name & Week Attending
304 IAWAH Rd
RR 2
Godfrey ON
K0H 1T0
Photos from your campers’ session will be uploaded to a photo gallery on Bunk1 throughout the week. Access to the gallery will be provided to the primary parent.
We recommend that campers see their family physician for a general health check prior to coming to Camp. We do not require a medical form/record completed by a physician. In order to provide the best health care to your child, it is imperative that we have current medical information. You may make changes and update information through your MyCampIAWAH account or by contacting the Registrar.
Medical Staff: IAWAH Volunteer medical staff are on site 24 hours a day. In the event that the camper requires medical treatment beyond that which we can offer at Camp, the Medical Staff will ensure transportation to a local hospital. Medical Staff will make every effort to contact a parent/guardian as soon as possible, and an IAWAH staff member will stay with the camper for the duration of the emergency and/or until a parent/guardian arrives.
The Camp Medical Staff will administer all medication. If you are sending non-prescription medication to Camp, it must be in the original container with the manufacturer’s label. All prescription medication must be in the original container with the doctor’s orders from the pharmacist. The Medical Staff will collect all medications at Registration.
Sun Safety: Campers are expected to protect themselves from overexposure to the sun. Campers are expected to bring and use sun protection i.e. hats and sunblock/screen. Campers will be reminded to use sunscreen and to make good choices regarding sun safety. During extremely hot temperatures IAWAH staff will modify activities to reduce sun and heat exposure and offer more water breaks.
Footwear: The vast majority of foot injuries are preventable. IAWAH expects that campers will wear appropriate footwear at all times. Closed-toed shoes are expected to be worn during specific activities and when in the woods.
Currently, IAWAH is not a fully accessible facility. Should you require the use of assistive devices, please contact the camp office [email protected] or (613) 273-5621 prior to registration to discuss your visit.
