Camps: Overview

Fun, adventure, challenge — at camp Scouting comes alive.

With over 100 years of experience, Scouts Canada offers safe and high quality outdoor adventure programs for children and youth. We are committed to providing the ultimate outdoor experience.

Scouts Canada has over 125 camps across the country, so you’re sure to find a camp that meets your needs. As you plan your next outing, consider using a Scouts Canada camp. Ours camps are a precious resource, ours to cherish, discover and support.

Many Scouts Canada camps offer a wide range of accommodation, from train cabooses and cabins with appliances to tent sites. You can also choose among camps that provide great services such as catering and equipment rentals and a broad range of program activities – from archery and mountain biking to kayaking and rappelling. Every camp is unique and some specialize in certain types of activities.

If you’re looking for an environmental adventure, try one of our Scouting Centres of Excellence for Nature and Environment (SCENES). These internationally recognized centres offer exceptional programs, such as bird counts, invasive species control, nesting habitat enhancement and practice environmental management. Canada boasts two SCENES centres – Mount Nemo Scout Camp and Blue Springs Scout Reserve – both of which are located near Toronto. More SCENES centres are “in the works”.

As Scouts, the program leads us on our journey to become the best we can be. And with a focus on Youth-led planning and adventures, we are limited only by the boundaries of our imagination. It is a fun, hands-on learning experience where you can discover your potential in a safe, adventurous and inclusive way.

Kaelem Moniz, Scouting Youth

Scouting has taught my son so many skills and given him opportunities to try so many great adventures! I’d highly recommend the program to any parent who is looking for a value-packed, fun, challenging and diverse program where they can participate with their child.

Kathleen Lehman, Scouting Parent

My greatest Scouting memories are all coupled with first experiences. Sleeping in a tent for the first time, my first campfire, participating in two Canadian Jamborees; the first one allowing me to travel on a plane, alone, for the first time. All these experiences are things that I cherish and enjoy sharing because they are components of Scouting that have become amazing memories that will last a lifetime, but have also made me a confident and well-rounded person.

Kaitlyn Patterson, Rover Scout

Community service is a key aspect of our programming. It not only helps the community, but teaches youth how to make contributions to society as youth and adults. Maintaining a bee farm, organizing food drives and crafting Christmas cards has made an impact on the very grateful residents that the youth help.

Susan Rad, Scouter, the 4th Cranbrook Group

The most important skills I have learned through Scouts are the skills that have helped shape me as an individual. Scouts has taught me how to be a confident and patient person, how to talk to strangers and speak at public events. It challenged me to push myself to my limits. It gave me the courage to travel 1,400 km away from home to go to CJ’17 at the age of 10, and to fundraise all the money I needed for the journey. It also challenged me to hike 28 km in the Rideau Challenge as a first year Scout.

Quinn McPherson, Scout

I thank Scouters for my experience. I owe them so much for helping me to grow as a person. Scouting makes you aware of others. Teaching about the environment and community, Scouting stops you from focusing on yourself as much, and you become more thankful and willing to give back and help. It’s good for kids to learn that—I know it was good for me.

Rebecca Cairns, 1st Porcupine Plain A Venturer Company

Scouting is so amazing because it brings people from a variety of backgrounds and interests together to do the things they enjoy. It also makes me feel like I am where I belong. When I am anywhere else, I feel invisible and like nobody can see me, but when I’m at Scouting events or meetings I feel included and not invisible. I have made many fantastic friends in Scouting.

Cadence J., Scouts Canada Youth Spokesperson & Scout

Scouting has given me many opportunities and skills that are helping me to prepare for a life of success, including skills in camping, public speaking, writing, confidence and many, many more. Most recently, the experiences I gained from Scouting helped me successfully achieve a position within the RCMP’s 2018-2019 National Youth Advisory Committee (NYAC). I would not be the girl I am now without my nine years in Scouting, and without my NYAC experience.

Ana-Alexandra M., Scouts Canada Youth Spokesperson & Scout

Now that I have been in Scouts for a few years, I have learned to always be prepared, and that has influenced my ability to be prepared in life, not just the outdoors. Scouts has taught me helpful things that I will continue to use in the future. It has made a huge and extremely positive impact on my life.
