Camps > Wilderness Camp

Get ready for adventure! Our Wilderness Camp will provide campers orienteering, hiking, team building and environmental experiences sure to be a fun, exciting and challenging learning experience for them! Campers will enjoy their first day at Kelso Park, getting to know their peers and counselors better and learning how to use a compass and other hiking equipment, as they hike up the Niagara Escarpment trail on-site. On Tuesday, they will start their day at Mt. Nemo, (will be dropped off there by bus upon arrival at Kelso) and hike along the Bruce Trail towards Rattlesnake Point, where they will settle for the night, setting up a camp site, and preparing their meals. On Wednesday, campers will continue their hike along the Bruce Trail, making their way to Hilton Falls then back to Kelso Park for another overnight camp out they will set up and prepare meals for. Thursday and Friday, campers will enjoy time at Kelso, swimming, canoeing, playing active games and field sports and taking part in our end of week Major Special! Tents, food and other necessary supplies will be provided for Tuesday and Wednesday sleepovers. Other supplies needed from home. A Sleepover Checklist can be found in our Camp Info Package, available to view on our Camp Forms page, as well, will be provided via email upon registration.

 

Important: Due to the nature of this program, campers should be in good physical condition and prepared to hike several kilometers of terrain daily, as well as be willing to help set up/ take down tents, prepare meals, carry their own backpacks and supplies, and keep up with the pace of the group.
