FAQ
I have an anaphylactic allergy, can I visit Camp IAWAH?
Camp IAWAH does not serve peanut or tree nut products.
We endeavor to find nut-free ingredients however some are labelled by the manufacturer as "May contain of peanuts, tree nuts and sesame seeds" or "May contain traces of nuts, tree nuts and other seeds" IAWAH's Head Cook will coordinate safe food preparation and alternate menu items will be provided to the best of our ability.
Those with severe allergies are strongly advised to communicate their needs to the camp through their Group Contact. Guests are encouraged to bring their own peanut-free baked goods for snacks and desserts. All guests with severe allergies are encouraged to speak with the kitchen staff should they have any questions or concerns regarding the ingredients of a particular food.
What are your accommodations like?
Camp IAWAH is a camp - a very clean and well-maintained camp - but a camp. Most rooms have two to three bunk-beds with vinyl-covered 5" thick foam mattresses. Beds marked as doubles are two of these mattresses side-by-side. Cabins--used in the warm season only--have washrooms located in another building a short walk away. Washrooms in our winterized lodges have either centrally located washrooms (Derbyshire & IAWAH Lodges) or an ensuite washroom (Bush Lodge). Both cabins and lodges have electricity. Learn more about our buildings here.
What kinds of school groups do you typically host?
Camp IAWAH hosts many school groups and youth organizations from Eastern and Central Ontario. Schools come from all streams - public, Catholic and private. We seek to provide the best possible Outdoor Education programming. Find out more about IAWAH.
I'm a parent of a student whose school is coming to visit Camp IAWAH - what do I need to know?
Your son or daughter is about to have a great time here at Camp IAWAH! Depending on the schedule developed for the group, students could be doing any number of outdoor activities like canoeing, archery, hiking or swimming. Please speak with the organizing teacher if you have questions about your school trip.
If the need arises, the best way to leave a message for your son or daughter is to call the main office at 613-273-5621 x702. Messages are checked regularly and passed along at mealtimes.
I'm the organizer of our school's trip to Camp IAWAH - why does Camp IAWAH ask for proof of insurance?
Camp IAWAH encourages event organizers to acquire Off-Property Liability Insurance to provide coverage to a group having a function on a site other than their own (i.e. school building). While Camp IAWAH does carry its own insurance, it is the understanding of the Camp that in case of a claim the organizers of the event would be the first party to be sued in any legal action. If there is no insurance then the organizer places his or her own personal wealth on the line. It is recommended that organizers speak with the School Board Administration in order to acquire a copy of the Certificate of Insurance.
How do I book IAWAH-led activities for my school's trip?
The best way to book activities like indoor climbing or archery for your group is to do so at the time of booking. If requesting changes to the IAWAH-led activities after this time, please do so at least one month prior to the start of your event. Camp IAWAH is unable to guarantee that staff will be available when requests are made less than a month ahead of time.
