Due to the pandemic, Scouts Canada has turned to a new camping and day-use model to allow Scouting families to get out and enjoy nature while exploring some of Scouts Canada’s amazing camp properties.
Family Adventure Camp is an all-inclusive camping and programming experience that has been designed to provide safe, exciting, and meaningful opportunities for visitors. Guests have the option to choose from a variety of overnight accommodations or visit property for the day and enjoy all the programming, activities, and natural amenities that Camp Samac has to offer.
Every guest, youth and adult, must remain in their household bubble and safely distanced from all others while at camp.
Overnight Accommodations
Guests may choose from five (5) cabin options and five (5) tent sites at Camp Samac. Trailers and RVs are not permitted. Overnight guests are welcome to check-in after 1:00pm on their day of arrival. Guests must check-in no later than 7:00PM. Overnight guests must fully vacate their accommodation by 10:00am on their check-out day.
Option #1: Campsite Booking
(On Sale Beginning May 27, 2021)
Families can book tent sites for a minimum of one night (no maximum). Each tent site is equipped with a fire pit and picnic table. Private outhouse and tap water access steps away from the site. One vehicle permitted per campsite.
Option #2: Cabin Booking
(On Sale Beginning May 17, 2021)
Cabins are available to families throughout July and August for weeklong bookings (with check-in on Friday weekly). Once guests have had an opportunity book weeklong stays, shorter rental options for our cabins may become available (i.e., Monday-Friday, Friday-Sunday).
Due to COVID-19 sanitation and safety measures, we ask all cabin guests provide their own bedding or sleeping bags, as well as all cooking and kitchen supplies including plates and cutlery, cooking utensils, pots, and pans.
Cabin facilities are equipped with twin-sized bunkbeds, an oven/stove, and refrigerator. All cabins have electricity, a firepit, private flush-toilet washrooms, a picnic table, and running water. Each cabin is surrounded by forest with ample greenspace to enjoy. One vehicle permitted per cabin lot.
Please note that there are no showers available on-site for overnight guests.
