What makes Camp Conestogo so great?Camp Conestogo Y Day Camp provides an ‘unplugged’ setting that encourages connections with others and the natural world. The beautiful setting of Guelph Lake offers unique programming that supports youth to have fun while developing lifelong skills and realizing the best in themselves and others.

Camp Conestogo offers a traditional camp program with highlighted activities related to each theme throughout the week. Camp Conestogo is unique in that campers are engaged in an outdoor setting all day with the feel of an off-site overnight camp, but with the ability to return home each evening to the comfort of their own beds.

Camp Conestogo is one of a kind in our community offering activities such as low ropes, canoeing, lake swimming, nature hikes, camp fires and more. Camp Conestogo is a great way to introduce your child to a traditional camp experience, if they are not quite ready for the overnight camp experience!

Camp Conestogo provides youth and teens with the opportunity to connect and engage with nature and each other in ways that build confidence, improve social skills and foster independence and leadership - all while having fun!

“My experience in the L.I.T. Program at the

Guelph Y helped me build my leadership

skills and presented me with new and

interesting challenges every day. Being an

L.I.T. gave me a taste of what it’s like to be a

camp counsellor because I was able to work

with kids of varying ages and personalities.

I loved being an L.I.T. because I got to

work with such supportive counsellors and

learned so much!”
