For over 30 years, Camp Bitobig has provided opportunities for children to experience the diverse wonders of nature and to learn outdoor skills in a safe, fun, and hands-on manner at the Lake Laurentian Conservation Area. Our camp instructors are fully trained, have a passion for inspiring a love of nature in children, and are dedicated to creating a fun learning environment for all campers! Children may only be registered in a maximum of two sessions. Children must be between the ages of 7-12 as of their first day of camp.

Details about cost, weeks, themes, and schedules can be found here. 

We suggest introducing the idea to your camper that this year will be a year for new camp experiences. Things will feel a little different than past years at Camp Bitobig, but the most important summer camp experiences - making new friends, exploring and learning outdoors, and having canoe-loads of fun will all be there.  Some of the things they have enjoyed in other years will be different this year, but there will be new things to love about camp. Talk with your children about physical distancing and what that feels like. Camp Bitobig follows day camp protocols set out by the province of Ontario and our COVID-19 policies will be updated as required.  

COVID-19 Protocols for this year

• 2 cohorts of 15 campers, with 2 camp counsellors. Cohorts will not interact or do any activities together. They will eat in different picnic areas, have their own designated bathroom, have staggered lunch breaks, and have staggered drop-off and pick-up times. Families will be cohorted together.
• There will be no bussing this year. Drop-offs will be at the Nature Chalet at 2309 South Bay Road. Drop-offs and pick-ups will be staggered depending on the cohort (Either 8:40 am to 3:40 pm, or 9 am to 4 pm)
• Extra hand washing stations & increased sanitizing. All items will be sanitized between cohort use.
