For youth born in 2014* or 2015 with at least one year of experience as a Cub Scout, including a minimum of one overnight camp.
Our Cub Scout program includes extended base camp activities and a short (2 night) wilderness trip in the Algonquin interior.
Look forward to great activities, such as:
learning to canoe and wilderness camp
hiking Algonquin's trails
camp crafts
touring the Algonquin Park Logging Museum
checking out the wildlife
Canoe trips for Scouts born in 2010 to 2014* at all experience levels.
All trips start at base camp with reviewing key skills, confirming swim capability, and completing final preparations for the trip.
The majority of camp is spent paddling in the interior for 5 or 6 days (4 or 5 nights). Length of the trip is determined beforehand by the capability of the participants. Depending on the length of the trip, additional activities may include touring attractions of Algonquin Park (for example, Logging Museum, day-hiking trails, cultural experiences).
Depending on camper interest, the Algonquin team is open to planning a Venturer wilderness canoe trip. This trip is usually held the week after the Cub/Scout camps, but it is part of the youth planning to choose the date along with their route and work with their trip Advisors to set the cost. This trip is open to any Venturer Scouts with previous canoeing experience and a recommendation from their Company Scouter (wilderness camping experience is an asset but not a requirement).
*Youth born in 2014 may choose between the Cub program and the Scout program based on their interest. We generally recommend that youth who have not previously attended the SLS Algonquin Camp and those who especially enjoy base camp activities (such as crafts and games) select the Cub program.
Our 2025 fee of $600 for the full week of camp, includes:
Return transportation by bus from Newmarket or Innisfil/Barrie to Algonquin Park
All group camping and canoeing equipment, including PFDs and paddles (youth are welcome to bring a personal PFD and/or paddle if they prefer)
All campground fees
Nutritious, balanced meals designed to meet the needs of a high-activity program (we also operate as a nut-free camp, and can accommodate most food allergies and sensitivities with advance notice)
Expert trip leaders with appropriate certifications to lead a safe and successful wilderness camping experience
