FAMILY CAMP

Escape for some family time on Pathfinder Island!

Warm days, cool evenings, morning mists, great swimming, stargazing, firesides, and delicious homemade Algonquin woods camp meals. No cooking or cleaning – just the wild beauty of Algonquin Park to share with your family.

July 16 - 19
July 30 - August 2
Alumni Family Camp September 2 - 6

WHO COMES TO FAMILY CAMP?

Our Family Camp weekends are focused on new families considering Pathfinder for their son, current camper parents, and camp alumni. We welcome the whole family - not just parents and sons!

We hear it from new families who have signed up their son the following summer - this is a perfect introduction to Pathfinder for their camper and for the family.

 

Pathfinder Alumni enjoy Family Camp as a way of sharing their Pathfinder experience with the whole extended family.​

 

​Reservations are needed, as space is limited.

Family Camp is always a complete sell-out. Enroll Early!

Please note children's supervision is the responsibility of parents at all times throughout this event.

Enjoy the best of camp life with canoeing, kayaking, ropes course, biking, and more—or just relax and follow the sun from dock to dock, savoring homestyle camp cooking with a few extra fun touches.

Parents: Enjoy cocktail hour, elevated dinners, and paddle-hike day trips with shore-lunch. Join your kids for activities or unwind with island free time while they adventure with our staff. A final evening cocktail float and late-seating dinner let you relax while the kids enjoy Pathfinder movies.

Kids: Jump into summer camp fun with games, activities, and your own Family Camp sessions. Our staff will help you feel safe and independent as you canoe, swim, kayak, fish, climb high at ropes, and perfect your cannonballs off the 20-ft tower!

LODGING

Camp Pathfinder is rustic and traditional.

 

Family campers enjoy their stay in one of our large canvas tent platforms or simple sleeping cabins with cot-beds.

Our camp kitchen will provide three delicious meals per day including dessert after supper and fruit available throughout the day.

 

While there are filtered taps all throughout the island for handwashing, toothbrushing, and water filling, we are lake-bathers! Plan to rinse off in the refreshing water of Source Lake.

 

We are tech free and rely on minimal electricity in only the main buildings. Use family camp as a chance to unplug and don't forget to bring a beam.

WHAT TO PACK

Bring your sleeping bags, pillows, towels, and swimsuits! Add in your layers, play clothes, rain jackets, rugged shoes, and don't forget your toothbrush and flashlight!

Planning exactly what to bring for your stay can be challenging! That's why we've put together a printable packing checklist.

 

Items marked with an asterix can be purchased at Pathfinder once you arrive. You'll also find a list of items we kindly request you leave behind.
