Base camp
Northwaters base camp is located on the western point of a picturesque wooded island at the center of Lake Temagami. The facility has two gently sloping sand beaches and colorful meadows that bloom with Indian paintbrush, daisies and lupine throughout the summer.

The dining hall, large and rustic, is the hub of camp activity. Surrounding the meadow are cabins, workshops, an infirmary, a map room, and many central meeting areas. An outside brick oven is used for baking homemade bread and pizza.
The outfitting building at water’s edge is an excellent setting to outfit and prepare for our wilderness canoe trips. Our “L” shaped dock provides space to load canoes and is a wonderful place to welcome home returning trips. It also serves as the departure point for floatplanes loaded with reprovisions for our sections in backwater canoeing areas.
A wooded footpathl through giant cedars, birch and hemlock leads to spectacular views and group initiatives.
In base camp, each participant shares a cabin with several friends, enjoys healthy, hearty, home-cooked meals and experiences a warm family camp atmosphere—both before heading out on the trail and again when the canoe trip returns.
