CNIB Lake Joe

At CNIB Lake Joe, people living with sight loss and their families can enjoy the same summer pursuits as other Canadians: canoeing, campfires, kayaking, cycling, waterskiing, swimming, sailing and fishing. Plus, there’s skills training, confidence building and support from a community that understands living with sight loss. 

Since 1961, CNIB Lake Joe has been providing a unique blend of recreation and skills development in a safe, inclusive environment. Dedicated to providing enriching experiences for Canadians with sight loss, it's a one-of-a-kind camp in Canada. Located in the heart of Muskoka, CNIB Lake Joe is an accessible lakefront property that stretches over 12.5 acres on the northwest corner of beautiful Lake Joseph. CNIB Lake Joe is proud to be an accredited member of the Ontario Camps Association and an affiliated member of the Lifesaving Society.
