The history of Camp Pathfinder dates back to 1914, with programs for boys between 7 and 16. Located at Source Lake in Algonquin Park, kids from all over Canada, the United States, South America, and even Europe attend Camp Pathfinder.
Uniquely, this camp offers family camps where boys and their parents can attend simultaneously. It's the perfect introduction to camp life for rookies.
Canoe trips are what it all began with. Now, programs focus on providing an experience based mainly on the natural world, with minimal technology. A long tradition of fellowship exists here.
As well as canoeing, activities to get into here include the arts, ecology and nature, athletics, paddling, ropes, and swimming. Some of the many Camp Pathfinder missions state to “Provide healthful, rewarding, maturing summer experiences” and “Empower boys to challenge and extend their limits”.
