Cabin By The Creek, Camp Wildman, Tiny, ON - February 2-4, 2024 The New Year is upon us and with it comes our first Troop camp of 2024, our Troop Winter Camp at Camp Wildman in Tiny, Ontario. Camp Wildman is a beautiful 100 acre wooded wilderness property situated on the south side of 8th Concession West of Tiny Township in Simcoe County, approximately 40 km northwest of Barrie. The camp has been used by Scouts Canada since being purchased from the Wildman family in 1937. Camp Wildman offers a four-part trail system, including an obstacle course. Friday night we will be sleeping indoors in a heated Lodge – the Toanche Cabin. For Saturday night, Scouts will be able to get what will be for some of them their first taste of Cold Weather Camping – this is a great camp to try it out for the first time. Saturday’s sleeping conditions – for those that wish to try it - will be unheated, but enclosed (Tent or Snow Shelter). Temperatures can get into the high minuses this time of year. A properly prepared Scout can have an excellent time in such weather - a packing list is attached. This camp offers us a more challenging, more advanced winter camping experience. At this camp, we will be focusing on Winter Scouting, Camp Cooking outdoors in cold weather, and a few other surprises. No snack food will be permitted. Scouts with Knife Permits may bring their knife, however no sheath knives will be allowed as per the camp rules. If any Scout requires medication, please advise a Scouter. Necker is the only required uniform for the camp.

This year we returned to the annual District Canoe Camp, held from May 26 to May 28 at Wheeler Scout Camp, a canoe base camp near Haliburton run by 26th Hamilton. The camp was an opportunity for Scouts to learn valuable canoe skills in a controlled environment, and from experienced instructors. This year our own Scouter Bill was Camp Chief! Aside from Scouter Bill swamping his canoe and locking his keys in his car, the weekend was a success! Our less experienced Scouts stayed in cabins for the weekend at Wheeler's base camp. Water activities will took place in the adjoining lake, and the camp provided all meals. Will, Matt, Cam, and Chris joined Scouter Tony to take part in an overnight out trip with other senior Scouts and Venturers from the District.
