Camp Ponacka, located on the shores of Baptiste Lake, near Bancroft, Ontario is a privately owned
summer camp for boys ages 8-15. The campground encompasses 160 acres including 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.
Ponacka is owned and operated by Don Bocking MSW, RSW and Anne Morawetz BNSc, RN. Anne's
parents, Bruno and Gwen Morawetz founded Ponacka in 1947 and in 2006, Ponacka

We are looking forward to the 2008 season and to welcoming our campers very soon.
Checking out Ponacka the year prior to enrollment is a good idea and we encourage prospective 2009 families to come for a tour. Just call us a day or two ahead to let us know your visiting plans.
If you wish to have your name added to our mailing list, please contact us through this website or 705 748-9470 or info@ponacka.com.
There are two staff positions in our kitchen for interested young people. We guarantee a fun and challenging summer- please contact us for a staff application form. It is exciting for us to be preparing for our 62nd season and we look forward to welcoming our new and old campers and staff to Ponacka!
With best wishes,
Anne and Don
