2021 DAY CAMPS CANCELLED
Unfortunately, with the ongoing uncertainty regarding COVID-19 we will not be running summer day camps in 2021. We can’t wait to return to the Centre and teach youth again, but until then tune in to our YouTube Channel to continue learning about fish and wildlife conservation.

Every year hundreds of youth aged 8-15 from across the province put down their cell phones, video games, and turn off their televisions for the opportunity to experience the most exciting program in Ontario. This program provides youth with an alternative to digital entertainment, by putting an emphasis on our traditional outdoor recreational activities.
It is the only fishing and hunting youth program of its kind in Ontario! Visit www.getoutdoors.org for more information.
Testimonials
What Participants are Saying
“Just wanted to thank the camp staff and behind the scenes admin people for running a great summer camp last week, my son loved every second of it while he was there. Especially the fishing. Keep up the great work!”
“This camp is so much fun! I loved learning about fishing and hunting – my uncle hunts, but I learned a lot! I’ve met so many new friends, some from other schools – our favourite part was the outside games and archery.”
“My favourite part of day camp was the water games we’d play on hot days. My counsellor also loved to fish so he shared lots of fishing stories with us. I almost caught the big bass in the pond! He let go of my book as I brought him to shore… but I saw him!”
