This small lake is in the Township of Wellesley, Ontario in the Regional Municipality of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada.

[2] The lake is surrounded by cottages on private land; there is no public access to the water nor a public beach.

Early settlers in the Bamberg area were from Germany and the village was initially named Weimar; it was changed to Bamberg in 1852.

[4] The 77 acres of land and the buildings were owned by the Kiwanis Club of Kitchener-Waterloo but the camp was donated to the Kitchener-Waterloo YMCA in the 2009.

Thanks to an agreement with the Kiwanis Club, the Y had already used the site as a camp for some years (since at least 1975), sometimes in conjunction with some Roman Catholic groups,[5] and has held year-round programming for school groups here since 1995 as the YMCA Outdoor Education Centre; the association also uses the site for conferences, retreats, meetings and family reunions.
