Arrival/Departure

Friday Arrival

Dropping Off and Park Parking

Drop-Off

Please ensure that all parents/guardians arrive before 8:00. No Vehicular entrance is allowed when camp is in session. Please ensure parents/scouters who do not have an onsite pass, (to be distributed on friday) are not parking for an extended period of time. Please note the horseshoe and the area around the games are one way traffic. 

Pick-Up

Please Make Sure that all Parents/guardians Arrive after 11:30AM. No Vehicular entrance is allowed when camp is in session.  


Participants

Before arrival, please place an off-site parking pass (Updated for 2024) on your dash.  This gives you access to the Park without paying an access fee.

Each section decides when participants can arrive.  Do not arrive before that time, as your section may not have enough volunteers on site yet to be able to check in their youth.

Plan to arrive before 8pm, or earlier if your sections so requests.  At 8pm, the Group Camping Area is closed to entering vehicles.

Speed limit in the Park is 20km/h.  Park staff can conduct a traffic stop and can issue tickets to speeding drivers.

When approaching the park office, do not enter the parking lot. Stop at the road stop sign, then proceed, without checking in.  Proceed straight, then at the fork, proceed right to the Group Camping Area.

At the entrance, there will be a queue, where you will be asked for your Group and section name, and directed to your section's campsite. 

Note: most roads on the Camporee site are one way.  Please follow signage.  

Find your campsite.  For Cubs and Beavers, each site in the horseshoe has signs mounted on staves identifying the section(s) assigned to the site.

After unloading, if you are staying for the camp, move your vehicle to the lower parking lot, by exiting the Camporee site, and making a right on to the main camp road.  After about 1km, the road ends at the lower (beach) parking lot.  Attendants in the parking lot will guide you where you park. 

Shuttle vans are available to transport drivers from the parking lot to the Group Camping Area entrance starting about 5:00pm.  The last shuttle leaves the lower parking lot at 8pm. 

Sections

Section gear arrival can begin at 4pm.

If your Colony or Pack is planning to use one of the Park's existing fire pits on or adjacent to your campsite, firewood can be purchased from the seller on Canon Smith Dr. 1km south of the park, or from the Park store (2022 price: $10/bag).

Schedule your participants to arrive at a time after at least 2 Scouters have planned to arrive. 

After 8:30pm, only vehicles with on-site passes should be in the Group camping area.  All other vehicles should be parked in the lower (beach) parking lot, with off-site passes displayed on the dash.

9pm: One Scouter attends the Safety Briefing at HQ.  


Late Arrival

The Group Camping Area entrance is closed to arriving vehicles between 8pm Friday and 11am Sunday, aka "During the event"

Participants arriving during the event:

Departure (Sunday)

The Group Camping Area will open for vehicle access at 11am Sunday, after the conclusion of the Closing Ceremony. Vehicles may not queue in the driveway or the park roadway before the event is open. Vehicles that begin queuing before 11am will be turned around. 

Before any youth depart, sections are expected to complete a site survey with their youth to remove all litter and traces.  Leave No Trace is Scouting's outdoor ethos.

The last Scouter in a section will confirm check-out at HQ.

Sections are to complete departure by 1pm.
