No matter how long it’s been since your last summer at camp, we’d love to reconnect with you!
Not too much has changed at Keewaydin’s camps over the past 125 years. While Songadeewin has moved from Lake Willoughby to the shores of Lake Dunmore, if you walk around Keewaydin Temagami’s base camp or the campus of Keewaydin Dunmore it would look largely the same as you remember it. Most importantly, the values upon which the camps were founded still guide the programs and the experiences they provide.
We are dedicated to keeping alumni in touch with each other, and with Keewaydin. If you are not currently receiving regular communication from us, we want to hear from you! There are multiple ways for you to connect with old friends and enjoy camp life, from reunions at camp, to work weekends, to regional alumni gatherings and Open Houses in cities across North America. Check the list of upcoming alumni events, and make plans to join us!
We have lots of ways for you to stay in the loop through our publications, E-News, and special announcement emails. Please make sure we have your up-to-date contact information.

The ways in which our camps are staying connected with their Alumni is ever changing, we have many ways to stay informed. We are always looking for ways to connect alumni with each other, and with Keewaydin. So, if we have your information, we can let you know about all kinds of alumni related events, resources, and media. Especially now, its important to stay connected, and our virtual offerings are continually expanding!!
Keewaydin camps have always been primarily advertised by word-of-mouth. We appreciate when our families, alumni, and friends share the camps with others. When our alumni spread the word about camp helps to ensure new families can join in the adventures and it helps to keep enrollment robust.
If you know anyone who might be interested in on of the Keewaydin camps, please use the link below to refer the family to us, and we will take it from there!

In the northern reaches of Lake Temagami, a magnificent north woods eden is waiting. You’ll find it along wilderness shores that stretch for 4,800 untouched kilometers across a timeless dominion blessed with 1,500 hidden island jewels. This is the land of Ojibway. And it’s yours to wander.
We welcome Keewaydin Temagami alumni to re-connect with camp, and we welcome Songadeewin and Keewaydin Dunmore alumni to visit the lake you remember hearing about in camp songs. Ojibway Family Lodge is a perfect spot for a relaxing summer vacation.
The Keewaydin Foundation is a non-profit that relies on the generosity of alumni and parents who understand the value of the programs and are committed to ensuring access to future generations. Donations help cover operating costs of the camps, provide financial aid to campers who would otherwise be unable to afford tuition, and ensure the organization can thrive into the future.
If the Keewaydin camps have made a difference a positive impact on your life, please consider making a gift to support the organization.
