Since 1938, Camp Opemikon has
served the camping needs of more than half a million members of the
Scouting family. The camp is owned and operated by Scouts Canada,
Voyageur Region, and is one of the finest residential Scout camps in
Canada. Campers from other parts of Canada and around the world are
welcome.
This camp is located on the southern
tip of the Canadian Shield on Christie Lake, 100 km southwest of
Ottawa. This idyllic camp on more than 200 acres of rugged terrain,
nestled among three pristine lakes, provides the perfect Scouting
adventure away from busy roads and crowded cities. A large, modern
kitchen, dining hall provides campers with wholesome, nutritious meals in
a pleasant atmosphere. During Summer Camp, our Health Care Centre provides ward,
clinical and private care under the constant supervision of qualified
health care providers.
Camp Opemikon is the only Scout camp
in Ontario that has maintained a membership and accreditation in the
Ontario Camping Association, and is also a member of the Canadian Camping
Association. Membership in these associations requires strict
adherence to standards and guidelines in areas concerning health and
safety, facilities and equipment, leadership and staff, programs,
wilderness travel, transportation and administration.
In the off-season (September to June), Camp
Opemikon offers a variety of accommodations for campers including heated
lodges, Cub cabins, and wooded tenting areas. Summer facilities such
as the Health Centre are converted to rentable bunkhouses. A catered
meal plan is available and can be arranged at the time of booking.
