Camp Teka (officially Tekahionwake), is a Girl Guide camp in Paris. Access is from the downtown, but the camp is surprisingly secluded, being surrounded by expansive forest, a few small lakes and a river, as well as a family of beavers who very much like to build dams.
The camp has become known in the area for its giant barn-red building. Relax in the shade of a tree, sing at the many campfire pits, reflect in the memorial Guides Own area, or hike and explore the 11 acres of land during your visit.
