Out-tripping has been an important part of Ontario Pioneer Camp’s programming since its inception in 1929. Trips provide unique opportunities for skill development, community building and challenge. Away from the noises and distractions of the city, out-tripping is a great opportunity for young people to safely step outside their comfort zones, while also experiencing the beauty of creation.

Today our well-trained Tripping Staff lead campers on a variety of trips that vary in terms of length and degree of difficulty.

Our Canoe Trips are grade-specific.

We are now offering a free 2-day introduction to tripping for campers in grade 5.  This will give campers a taste for cooking over a campfire, setting up tents and enjoying God’s creation . The 3-day trip is now being offered for both grade 6-7 and a separate trip for grades 8-10. Our 5-day trip is for campers in grades 8-10. These trips run within each of our 2-week sessions at Boys’ Camp and Girls’ Camp.

We send trips to a variety of regions, including Algonquin Park and the French River. Trip routes are contingent upon several factors, including water levels and campsite availability.
Each trip is made up of 4-7 campers and at least 2 leaders. One of these leaders is the lead Tripper. Our lead Trippers are highly qualified and are responsible for the trip planning, navigating, safety and cooking.

In addition to our overnight trips, Boys’ Camp and Girls’ Camp also offer several day-trips for campers who have reached advanced levels in kayaking and  mountain biking.  These trips are run on the basis of experience of campers.
