Our Passion, Your Dog’s Adventure
Get to know our family, the heart behind Clayton Canine Camp.
Our Story
We are passionate about dogs and the great outdoors.
Our journey began with a dream to find a haven for our family where our dog Ruby could explore, play, and be her happiest self.
When we stumbled upon our home, we knew the property offered everything we’d ever dreamed of!
With 15 years of experience and a love for nature, we’ve built a camp that combines the comfort of home with the thrill of outdoor adventures.
Tail-Wagging Adventures in a Safe Haven
Nestled amidst 100 acres of lush forest between Clayton and Almonte, Ontario, Clayton Canine Camp is a paradise for dogs of all ages.
Our camp is designed to provide a safe, enriching environment where dogs can run, swim, play, dig, and explore.
We are dedicated to ensuring your dog’s stay is filled with fun, comfort, and of course – lots of love!
Meet the Team
Carla
Mom to two humans and three dogs, Carla is the heart and soul of our camp. With 15 years of experience boarding dogs, she dreams of expanding our self-reliant hobby farm and camp offerings to ensure every camper has a pawsome time!
“Giving my dogs the best life possible has become a passion that gets me out of bed every day, and live my own best life.”
When she isn’t walking the dogs, you will find her nose-deep in a new romantasy series, or watching RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Birdie
Our 4-year-old chocolate lab, lovingly referred to as “Birdie Molasses” loves to laze about in the sun, or in front of the fireplace.
She loves long, leisurely walks on our shady forest trails and cooling off in the in-ground pool, with glimpses of puppy energy when treats are involved!
Bo
Our 2-year-old red heeler is full of life and loves to welcome new campers with gusto (aka vocally!). Bo’s favourite pastime is playing catch, cuddling with Birdie, or being Carla’s shadow.
She’s a great “referee” to keep the peace with her friendly yet firm demeanour.
Lola
Our newest loveable addition! A Great Pyrenees named Lola, came to us as a rehome at 11 months old, and completed our home pack! With her attentive nature and fluffy coat, Lola brings an extra dose of joy and companionship to Clayton Canine Camp.
She loves to explore the campgrounds, keeping an eye on our livestock and campers while making new friends along the way.
