In this heartfelt and nostalgic episode, Sara and Adam Waxman sit down with Mara Kates and Max Muszynski, the brother-sister duo behind Camp Arowhon, a cherished Canadian camp nestled deep in Algonquin Park. Together, they explore the multigenerational legacy of the camp—from its founding in 1934 by Lillian Kates to its evolution into one of Ontario’s most respected co-ed wilderness experiences.

They dive into the powerful life lessons campers learn: building resilience, standing up for yourself, developing lifelong skills, and discovering friendships that last decades. With anecdotes ranging from canoe trips under the stars to the influence of a young Seth Godin as a canoe instructor, this episode celebrates the magic of getting kids out of the city and into nature.

Whether you’re a former camper, a parent searching for the right summer experience, or someone yearning for a slice of Canadian serenity—this one’s for you.
