Location
Birch Island
Camp Mi-A-Kon-Da is located on Birch Island, our 23-acre private property on Lake Wah Wash Kesh, 40 minutes north of Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada. Being water-access only, all visitors to the island are picked up by boat at Lamoureux Landing.
The island is covered by pine trees, granite rock shoreline and natural sand beaches. The property is exclusively used by Camp Mi-A-Kon-Da and is a quiet and safe location, free from any motor vehicle traffic. The surrounding Crown Land ensures that our end of the lake is left natural and undeveloped.
Our lush forest, sandy beaches and calm bays provide ample space for the instruction of all water and land activities. This vast wilderness is available for canoe tripping, kayaking and sailing excursions, picnicking, hiking and exploring.
