Summer Camp Details

Every year hundreds of youth aged 8-15 from across the province put down their cell phones, video games, and turn off their televisions for the opportunity to experience the most exciting program in Ontario.

It is the only fishing and hunting youth program of its kind in Ontario!

Packing List Tentative Schedule

Each summer the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) invites youth from across the province to put down their cell phones, video games, and turn off their televisions for the opportunity to experience the only camp of its kind in Ontario. This camp gives today's youth first hand exposure to our rich, outdoor heritage and encourages them to Get Outdoors!

Over the past five years, this camp has filled up in a matter of minutes on registration day. Back by popular demand and with the stellar support of our volunteers, the OFAH Get Outdoors Summer Leadership Camp will again have a total of 240 spots for youth ages 8-15.

The OFAH Get Outdoors summer camp puts an emphasis on promoting our outdoor heritage. Check out the summer camp video featuring the high energy activities each camper experiences. Enjoy and Get Outdoors!

Frequently Asked Questions | Refund Policy

In 2004, in response to the growing interest our youth members had expressed in hunting, fishing, conservation, and other outdoor pursuits, the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) initiated the Get Outdoors Youth Leadership Conference; ran in conjunction with the OFAH Annual General Meeting and Fish & Wildlife Conference. Instead, this year we decided to take an extra step and offer a January Winter Camp in order to get our youth members involved in a wider range of winter outdoor activities. This January, 40 youth members (ages 8-16) from across Ontario will get the opportunity to partake in activities that encourage their interest in the outdoors. This event caters specifically to encourage our youth members to become future stewards of conservation, and share our passion for hunting and fishing.

The idea of this three-day event has grown in popularity over the past decade, as the national award winning OFAH Get Outdoors program becomes increasingly recognized for being a leader in youth outdoor education.

The OFAH Get Outdoors program is proud to offer a Winter Camp at Camp Kawartha’s Outdoor Education Centre, in Douro-Dummer.

Here's what to expect at the first OFAH Get Outdoors Winter Camp:

* Ice Fishing
* Cross Country Skiing
* Air Gun Range
* High Ropes Course
* Outdoor Survival Skills
* Hands-on Education
* Winter Games
* New friends and much more!

Camp open for youth ages 8-15 | Cost: TBD + HST + an OFAH membership
Full payment required upon registration.
