"I grew up going to Scouts Canada summer camps both as a youth and camp councillor and the experiences, memories and friendships I have made will last a lifetime."
Camp programs are open to all youth; registration in Scouts Canada's year-round programming is not required. To learn more about what your local summer camp offers, visit Scouts.ca/camps or contact your local Council.
