In 2001, Keewaydin Temagami and Keewaydin Dunmore were united under the same non-profit organization, known as the Keewaydin Foundation. Both Keewaydin Temagami and Keewaydin Dunmore launched their first girls' programs in 1999, both named Songadeewin. On Lake Temagami, Songadeewin is a part of Keewaydin, whereas on Lake Dunmore, Songadeewin is its own camp. Although Keewaydin Temagami is now co-ed, sections are not co-ed. Each summer, Keewaydin Temagami sends canoe trips throughout the Temagami Region and La Verendrye Provincial Park and the Kipawa Region in north-central Quebec . Keewaydin also sends three sections into Wabakimi Provincial Park and sections of experienced campers into northwestern Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador, and northern Quebec. The oldest and most experienced section of these campers end their final summer at settlements on the Hudson Bay. Keewaydin Dunmore conducts the majority of its camping exploits within New England until campers reach the most senior stage, the Moose wigwam. "Keewaydin" (''giiwedin'') means "northwest wind", "north wind" or "home wind" in Ojibway . EXTERNAL LINKS |
