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
turned 60. Don and Anne's children, Chris, Graham and Laura have all been on staff at Ponacka!

The days are getting longer which means that camp must be getting closer! We look forward to welcoming back our 2009 campers and welcoming the boys coming to Ponacka for the very first time. We will meet most of you in the weeks and months ahead as we arrange our home visits. Inquiries are welcome anytime as are summer visits to Ponacka for a tour.

For 8-9 year old boys there are two week options:

If you wish to receive our 2010 literature, brochure and DVD, please contact us through this website or info@ponacka.com.

With best wishes,
Anne and Don
