How many Scout Camps are there across Canada?
There are over 125 camps across the country.
How do I find a camp that fits my needs?
Our camps fit the needs of diverse Scouting Groups across Canada. Scouts Canada camps offer a wide range of accommodation, from train cabooses and cabins with appliances to tent sites. Every camp is unique and some specialize in certain types of activities.
Use the Find a Scouts Camp locator feature.
The cost of camp varies depending on the camp, the activities taking place and how long the camping trip is for. Please reach out to the camp to find out the fees. If you are unable to find the fees please reach out to the Help Centre. On average camping for 1 week costs $400-$500.
Are there subsidies available for camp fees, equipment and gear?
Summer Camp funding may be available directly through the Camp. Please contact the camp directly to inquire about possible subsidy options.
Parents can access the No One Left Behind Participation fund for support with equipment, gear, and camp fees for weekend camps. We can provide up to $200 of funding per youth to eligible families.
Can families utilize Scout Camps for family camping trips?
Yes! When Scouting isn’t happening at Scout Camps families are able to rent a Scouts campsite to have safe, fun, family adventures!
How often do youth enrolled in Scouting go camping?
Every Scouting Group is different, we do not have a mandatory number of days each Group must camp during the year. Groups are encouraged to plan camping every season.
