Interested in Learning More?

Welcome! I would love to introduce you to Onaway and learn about your family. The magic of an Onaway summer is found in the return to simple living, the close bonds formed between campers, aides, and counselors, and the feeling of community that comes from spending seven weeks living, learning, and playing together.

If you haven't had a chance to explore our website, I recommend starting with the About Us page and working your way through our program by following the links at the bottom of each page. Through our images, videos, and testimonials, you can get a good feel for what it's like to spend summers on Newfound Lake at Onaway.

Ways for Prospective Families to Connect

Phone Call

This is often the best way to get started. Every child is different and choosing a summer camp that is a good fit starts with strong relationships.

Schedule a Tour

One of the best ways to experience Camp Onaway is to see it in action. Meet our director and staff, and take a personalized tour led by our seasoned, senior campers.

To give your family an individualized experience, we typically host one family per tour. However, group tours are also available during our major community visiting events: Fair (mid-July), Trustees (early-August), and Cup Weekends (mid-August).

Open Houses

We host Open Houses throughout the winter months so prospective families can meet Onaway staff, campers, and alumnae, while enjoying a slideshow of our most recent summer. If there is a gathering in your area, we highly encourage you and your daughter to join us!

Once you join our prospective camper list, you will be invited to these throughout the year. You can also find the RSVP links below.
