For the Kids
Muskoka Wild Life Centre
The Muskoka Wildlife Centre is not a zoo, but rather an interactive learning park. It’s a place where individuals, families and special interest groups can spend some time exploring the wonders of our natural world. Indoor facilities and fifty acres of scenic walking trails feature exhibits of many species of wildlife, native to Ontario.
Some of the resident animals are ex-pets or were abandoned, while others were injured in the wild and are now un-releasable. These hand-raised and well socialized creatures live out their lives, nestled comfortably in spacious naturalistic enclosures. The park also features a picnic area, and a gift/snack shop.
The Muskoka Wildlife Centre holds daily interactive “Meet the Creature” sessions for visitors and is host to Canada’s largest Live-Animal Outreach Program .

Camp Tawingo
1844 Ravenscliffe Road, Huntsville, Ontario 705-789-5612
For 50 years we have offered wonderful summer camping experiences for boys and girls from Ontario and around the world.In a safe and beautiful outdoor setting, with competent, enthusiastic leaders, children have the opportunity to grow as individuals through wholesome activity in all areas of outdoor living.
Camp Tawingo is committed to providing our campers with the experience of a lifetime. Our work and play are guided, are driven by a camper-centeredness philosophy. Every decision, action, policy, and program at Tawingo has as its focus the camper – the camper’s comfort, growth, experience, and development. To this we are also committed.
At Tawingo, we believe that the goal of Camp is to learn to appreciate and live in harmony with the out-of-doors, and one another…and that this learning happens best in a setting that is an oasis of safe and wholesome free play for children, an oasis free of cell phones, iPods, and other gadgets. Parents tell us that the Tawingo experience their children describe reminds them of the days when they used to be able to play outside, with all the other neighbourhood children, until the street lights came on.
