History of Olympia Sports Camp
Olympia Sports Camp is located about 20 minutes away from Huntsville, Ontario near Algonquin Provincial Park. It is located in a beautiful location with over 40 acres of property nestled in between two lakes.
The Olympia property was once home to the Norwegian Air Force and was used as a recreational and training facility. It was named "Vesle Skaugum" which means "clearing in the woods". Olympia's log dining hall is actually one of the original buildings built by the Norwegians during World War II.
In 1945 Camp Kiwanis bought the property and it was used as their summer camp for many years.
In 1974 Dave Grace started Olympia Sports Camp as a one week basketball camp. Football camp was added in 1976 and Olympia has been at it's current location since 1980. Since that time, Olympia has grown tremendously and this upcoming summer we are offering over 70 different sport and specialty camps for kids.
Nobody leaves Olympia untouched by the warmth, friendliness and family-like atmosphere that has inspired lasting friendships throughout the years.
