10 Years At Can-Aqua

My name is Simon, this is my 9th summer on the shores of Beaver lake, and my fourth summer on staff. I love being a part of the Can-Aqua community, seeing familiar faces and watching the positive affects camp instills in all of us. My greatest passion at camp is instilling the value of that community in our campers and staff past and present. I cannot wait to see everyone on the shores of Beaver lake again this summer.

Facilities Head

I first joined Camp Can-Aqua 22 years ago to help in the maple bush and to assist with some building and property maintenance. Since then, I have added the responsibilities for Can-Eco Depot (managing the camp’s recycling program). During the summer I am the camp’s primary driver, chauffeuring the campers to and from Algonquin Park, Anstruther Lake and Toronto. I continue to be very involved in the maple production and management of the maple forest.

13th Year At Can-Aqua

After spending the last 13 years on the shores of Beaver Lake, I have experienced all that camp has to offer, or so I think. From the land and water activities to the behind the scenes work, I enjoy spending most of my time driving the ski boats around the lake. However, every year I am amused by the surprises that camp has to offer, the new campers, the staff and the new activities. Camp Can-Aqua is my home away from home.

9th Year At Can-Aqua

Summer camp has been the highlight of my years for the last 9 years of my life. When I was a camper at Camp Can-Aqua I remember how excited I was to come back every year for new adventures with the great friends I have made over the years. I waited through a whole long school year to spend a couple weeks at my favorite place on Earth. Camp has taught me so many incredible life lessons and has shaped me into the person I am today. At camp I learned that small actions can have a big impact and it was here that I grew comfortable in my own skin. My favorite activities at camp include spreading butter waterskiing on beaver lake, getting gnarly on a board surf, and all things SPORTS!! A little bit of summer is what the whole year is all about!! Looking forward to seeing everyone for another amazing summer at Can-Aqua.

13 Years At Can-Aqua

Camp Can-Aqua is my favourite place in the world! After coming to camp for the past 13 years, I would never want to spend my summers anywhere else. Camp has taught me so much from doing a wet exit in kayaking, to how to make sure I’m living life to the fullest. At camp, I love hanging out by the water, swimming and kayaking! When I’m not at camp (which is rare) I like to bicycle and hang out with my friends! I hope to see you all at camp this summer and don’t forget to check out the waterfront!

10 Years At Can-Aqua

Camp is where I learned many important skills that I’ve taken home with me. In addition to self-confidence, and speaking in front of crowds I also learned how to canoe, how to string a bow, light a fire and made friends! Can-aqua is an amazing place with a strong sense of family and it’s own special magic. Every year I come back it is an absolute blast and 2018 will be no different!

Camp has been one the highlights of the year for me since my very first summer here, and I’m so pumped to be on the staff team this year! My favourite activities include nature, campcraft, and kayak, but I’m always down to try new things. See you this summer!

2nd Year At Can-Aqua

The first year was one sweet ride. Coming from Scotland, I had no clue what camp would really be like. Little did I know it would become the cornerstone of my summer life for years to come. I stepped foot in one of the most amazing communities I’ve ever experienced and I can’t wait to do it all over again.

8 Years At Can-Aqua

I’m beyond exciting to be returning to Can-Aqua! Over the years I’ve really gotten into kayaking and snorkelling, and you can definitely catch me at the waterfront enjoying all that beaver lake has to offer! Camp has and will always be an amazing place to try new things, and I can’t wait to help make this summer an unforgettable one!!!

2nd Year At Can-Aqua

I’m so excited to return to camp this summer. More dancing, more adventure and more running around! It’s the most exciting time of the year for me and there’s nothing better than returning to the greatest place in the world!

2nd Year At Can-Aqua

I’m really excited for new adventures in 2019. I want to do my best and learn new things. Last year was an incredible experience and I’ve been waiting all year to do it all over again. I can’t wait to meet new people to make more incredible memories.

4th Year At Can-Aqua

I’m baaaaaack! There’s something so magical about Can-Aqua. I have never experienced another place on earth that is so welcoming and accepting. Maybe it’s the countless smiles on the faces of those that pass, or laughter in the air… Maybe it’s that feeling you get when you learn a new skill, or make a new friend. I’m thinking it could be the support of the staff, who are always there encouraging you to be the best version of yourself. Whatever it is, it has me start the Camp Countdown the minute I leave! I can’t wait to be back out on a paddle board (trying to avoid the ski boat waves) but I have to say gletch and mosaics has my heart! Can’t beat relaxing on the porch designing up a storm. I love being a part of the Can-Aqua family and can’t wait to watch it grow.

3rd Year At Can-Aqua

During my past summers at camp I have learned so many things about myself. I have discovered strengths, weaknesses and lived experiences that have made me a better person. Camp has helped me value so many things in my daily life I never could have thought. I’m so excited to return this summer!

11 Years At Can-Aqua

Camp is probably my favorite place on earth. I love the cabins, the lake, the whole camp in general! But my favorite thing about camp would definitely be the people. Camp Can-Aqua has such an amazing camp community. I love seeing new campers make friends within the first 10 minutes of their arrival. Not to mention, the food is pretty great too.  See you guys soon!

3 Years At Can-Aqua

I’ve spent 2 years at camp already but my family history at camp started in 87. I love skiing, kayaking and instructing basically anything. Camp-wide games are also a favourite of mine. I like music, sports and I’m from Australia. Go Tritus!

2nd Year At Can-Aqua

Hey! I’m Tina and I’m really excited to meet you! At camp, I’m going to be running a fencing program, which I’m uber excited about. Outside of fencing, I’m a big fan of podcasts, film photography, music, and my dog. Can’t wait for an amazing summer!

6th Year At Can-Aqua

This will be my sixth year attending camp Can-Aqua. As a kid, I spent most of my summers at camp and they had been the best summers of my life. This always motivates me to become my best self and make others as happy as can be. Camp gives me an amazing outlook on how lucky we are to have an environment such as Camp Can-Aqua and I cherish every moment. Camp has made me always feel welcome and comfortable in any situation while having so much fun! My personal favourite activity at camp is waterskiing and I hope that all kids get to experience such an amazing activity.
