Tamwood Camps – London Ontario - Huron University
Every summer Tamwood operates a summer camp for youth and teens in London Ontario at Huron University.
An important feature of all of Tamwood's camps is the international mix of its campers. Drawing campers from Europe, Asia, Mexico, USA, Canada and South America, Tamwood provides campers with an opportunity to learn about foreign people and cultures and to meet and make friends with young people from around the world.
London, Canada
Located just 1 hour and 40 minutes from the Toronto airport, and less than 1 hour from two of the Great Lakes, London is one of Canada's oldest and most beautiful cities. Know to many as the "Forest City" because of its abundant trees and parks, London is home to 400,000 residents, making it big enough to offer many attractions, yet small enough to be safe, friendly and easy to get around in.
