Moving an entire building takes some planning. Thankfully we all have good log rolling skills. Here’s to preserving the Tuck Shop turned new Tool Shed.

Built in 1929 as a Bake House, this building had a wood-fired oven that provided daily fresh bread and other tasty treats. It also functioned as the camp’s cooking stove for the 1930 season. Each summer one young man would have the responsibility of chopping 10 cords of wood to keep the baked goods coming. From approximately 1980 until 2003 this building functioned as the Camp office until it then became our Tuck Shop. Working hard to preserve this piece of our history we carefully moved this building and gave it a facelift and in 2021 we are happy to present it as our new Tool Shed.

2021 Registration is open! The perfect opportunity to reset your mind, body and spirit after a difficult year. Located on a beautiful 20-acre island, we offer canoe trips for all skill levels. Small groups of like aged peers travel through stunning Canadian wilderness with exceptional leaders. We place an emphasis on self-confidence, leadership, teamwork, friendship, and community. A summer at Camp Temagami provides valuable life experience. Participants become confident, tho...ughtful, principled, kind, and adventurous. We know everyone is still dealing with an uncertain future. So, we have waived the deposit requirement to register. We have a large number of campers from 2020 signed up for 2021. When we hit a waitlist, it will become necessary to submit a deposit, if you have not already done so, to secure your spot at camp. Join us on January 31st @ 1:00pm EST for a new camper open house Zoom. RSVP to [email protected] for the Zoom link. We hope to see you soon!

We missed everyone on the island this summer but we kept ourselves busy. We’d like to say a big thank you to our work crew; your efforts will be appreciated by all who see your work when they step on the island in summer 2021. Join us over the next few weeks as we share a look at island life and projects completed in 2020.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! As it turns cool in Temagami we are looking forward to next summer more everyday. Here is a preview of some of the video content we were able to gather this summer. More to come soon! https://youtu.be/BANFF5eErps #camptemagami

Wigwasati means shining or silver birch. This name is derived from the Ojibway word Wiigwaasaatig meaning birch tree. This island has many birch trees and is uniquely visible from Big Narrows, Little Narrows and fairly far down the SW arm. It is our understanding that shining birch tree island was referred to this island as a reference point for providing directions. Smoothrock Island is the island S of Camp. This island was mislabeled Smoothrock Island a number of years ago but has recently been remedied.

Last question in our Camp Temagami Trivia series! Thanks to all those that have participated. It has been fun to learn and review so much of our history!
