2024 Camp Bitobig Registration

CAMP DETAILS

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!

Each camp session is 5 days long and is based on specific themes. Each child may only be registered in a maximum of two sessions.

Camp “Bitobites” are grouped by age in groups of no more than 10 campers, with each group having one counsellor. During English language weeks, some French language instruction is available for small group activities, however larger group activities at camp are presented in English.

* If the session you wish to register for is sold out, please contact the office at [email protected] to be placed on a waiting list *

** Cette année, nous offrons une semaine francophone pour les enfants qui aimeraient vivre l'expérience du camp Bitobig complètement en français. Le semain sera celle du 31 juillet au 4 août (Semaine 5). SVP Notez: Les campeurs qui s'inscrivent à la semaine de programmation francophone doivent être suffisamment à l'aise en français pour comprendre et communiquer. Toutes les activités en grand groupe se dérouleront uniquement en français. Veuillez noter que cette année, en raison de contraintes de personnel, certaines activités en petits groupes se dérouleront en anglais. Nous placerons en priorité les campeurs qui ne sont pas à l'aise en anglais dans des groupes avec des moniteurs qui parlent français.

Our facility is a Nut-Aware Facility, meaning that we do not permit peanut or tree-nut products on site. However, due to the multi-use nature of our facility and the numerous campers in our program, we cannot guarantee a peanut-free or tree-nut-free setting.
