Camp Ponacka Welcomes You!

Camp Ponacka, on Baptiste Lake, near Bancroft, Ontario is a privately owned summer camp for boys ages 8-15. The campground encompasses 160 acres of shoreline and forest.

Boys ages 8 or 9 may come to Ponacka for either 2 or 4 weeks. Once a boy is age 10 or older, he attends camp for four weeks.

Bruno and Gwen Morawetz founded Ponacka 65 years ago, in 1947. Ponacka is now owned and operated by Don Bocking MSW, RSW and their daughter, Anne Morawetz BNSc, RN. Don and Anne's children, Chris, Graham and Laura have all been on staff at Ponacka!

Comments from parents 2011...

"Our son had a wonderful summer and came back more mature, responsible and considerate. Just what we had hoped for."

"I especially like the way you talk to all of the boys about values, how to treat others and fairness etc. These are important things for the boys to hear."

"Thanks for giving him what he calls, "the best time of my life"."

"We love the community vibe that the smaller camp setting provides for the campers."

Planning for Ponacka's 66th season is in full swing, with camper applications arriving daily and staff already planning which activities they wish to teach next summer. There is limited availability in the July two week sessions but still space in the other sessions.

If you are a prospective Ponacka family and wish to receive our brochure and DVD, please contact us through this website or info@ponacka.com. We will make home visits to our first year families in the spring.

Thank you for your interest in Ponacka!

With our warmest wishes, Anne and Don
