The Canadian Diabetes Association has operated Camp Huronda continuously since 1964.  For seven years Camp Huronda rented space at Camp Beausoliel and Camp Couchiching prior to finding a permanent home in 1971 on Lake Waseosa at the previous site of Camp Waseosa.

Since its inception Camp Huronda has been a leading residential camp for children and youth age 8-16 living with type 1 diabetes. Camp Huronda offers one and two-week camping sessions, outtrips, a Leadership program and a 4-day Family Camp. Camp Huronda supports campers in the development of strong diabetes self-management skills while allowing these campers to pursue other traditional camping activities, including but not limited to; waterfront activities, arts & crafts, sports, adventure activities such as low ropes course, climbing, mountain biking, outtripping and horseback riding, to name a few.
