Old School Camps

Old School Camps is a family-owned business run out of the hamlet of Elphin, Ontario, in the Lanark Highlands. The owners are husband and wife, Joey Wright and Jenny Whiteley, both award-winning Canadian folk and roots musicians. Summer camp is held on their home property, while spring and autumn camps take place at their dear friend, H. Chris Brown’s Hotel Wolfe Island across from Kingston, Ontario.
