Lake Waseosa Ratepayers' Association

(This is a work in progress and the camp is eager for any stories about Huronda's early days. You can send any info you have to us and we will forward it on.)

Originally we rented space at other existing camps throughout the 60’s including both Camp Beausoleil on Beausoleil Island and at Camp Couchiching in Orillia.  In the Spring of 1971, the Ontario Diabetic Association bought the existing property for $150,000 and ran our first summer season on Lake Waseosa in the Summer of 1971.  

Prior to us buying the property, the site existed as another camp – it was an all-girls camp called Camp Waseosa. It was owned by the Coventry Family (of Toronto).

Back in 1921/22 there was a murder at the farmstead that is now our camp property… the Lake was called Long Lake at that time and the owners of the farm were the Solave Family.
