Camp Riverview

Welcome to Camp Riverview, nestled in the heart of Boulter, Ontario, along the peaceful shores of the Little Mississippi River. Surrounded by hundreds of acres of rolling forest and open meadows — and bordered by thousands more of untouched crown land — this hidden gem offers the perfect setting for laughter, relaxation, and friendly competition.

Here, the world slows down so you can focus on what matters most: connection. Gather in the bright, spacious lodge for an evening of board games, trivia, and team challenges, or step outside to breathe in the crisp country air between rounds. Wander the wooded trails, sip your morning coffee by the river, or steal a quiet moment by the campfire before the next round begins.

Accommodations at Camp Riverview feature cozy off-grid cabins, a central washhouse, and a welcoming dining hall where meals are served family-style — complete with plenty of laughter, conversation, and maybe a little post-dinner competition. As our retreat centre continues to grow, new modern cabins and gathering spaces will be added throughout the year to make each visit even more comfortable and inspiring.

Whether you’re rolling the dice, strategizing your next move, or simply enjoying the company of good friends, Camp Riverview offers the perfect mix of rustic charm and relaxed fun. It’s a place to play, unwind, and reconnect — where the games are many, but the memories are the real prize.
