WELCOME TO CAMP TANNER!Camp Tanner Inc. welcomes you to CAMP TANNER., located at Bill Tanner Kin Camp in Embro, Ontario. In the heart of Southern Ontario, Camp Tanner is a small camp with BIG spirit.
For six weeks, every Sunday afternoon until Friday night, each camper enjoys a jam packed week of affordable fun provided by an incredible staff team. Each week is created with a special and unique theme. Daily activities include team-building with low-ropes, crafts, games, nature sessions, sports, Christian education, swimming, themed meals, campfire, and more. Campers at senior camps participate in their choice of coached activity or sport throughout the week while junior campers choose their own adventure from a variety of games, low ropes, high and low energy activities, and self-directed crafts. 2019 CampsMay Weekend
