Camp Pathfinder is a great place! Pathfinder is located on an island in the middle of Source Lake, in historic Algonquin Park, Ontario. The Island is about 17 acres in size. Algonquin Park is about 7,000 sq. km. in size! This is the perfect place for boys' wilderness adventures.

Algonquin is one of Canada's most celebrated Parks, protected since 1893. Pathfinder is one of only 5 camps operating in this huge wilderness area.

The Algonquin country is a maze of beautiful lakes, rivers, creeks and ponds, surrounded by an amazing forest.

Pathfinder canoe trips see it all. There are thousands of different animals, plants, fish, and trees in this forest world, and Pathfinder is right in the heart of it all.

Six campers and three guide staff pack 3 red wood-canvas canoes with food, tents, sleeping rolls and gear for trips of 3-20+ days. There are an almost infinite number of canoe routes possible right in Algonquin, and Pathfinder also ventures to many rivers outside the Park in Ontario and Quebec. There's more on tripping in this slide show.

Red canoes moving swiftly across Algonquin lakes is a sign of a Pathfinder trip.

As boys become veterans at Pathfinder, their trips grow in length and challenge. Teamwork and a spirit of togetherness are the heart and soul of Pathfinder tripping.

Let's look at the Camp program. Pathfinder is for all ages! The Camp is home to 110 boys each session, one in July and one in August. The boys are between ages 7 – 16 years old. Young first-timers 7-10 may attend for a shorter starter session their first summer, but the regular camp session most boys choose is  3 1/2 weeks in length. Older boys who love canoe tripping sometimes come for 7 weeks, and take longer trips.
