Welcome to Camp Samac!

Camp Samac is owned and operated by Scout’s Canada camp with over 76 ha (188 acres) of forested nature in the middle of the fast growing City of Oshawa Ontario. Although surrounded by housing and institutions, Camp Samac remains a quiet and restful playground for the youth. There are lots of outdoor spaces and forests, winterized cabins, meeting spaces, and programs offered year round.

Camp Samac was founded in 1946 and is one of Scouts Canada’s largest staffed camping centres.
