Cumberland Lake Park is prepping for a new and expanded summer camp season.

Lake Park Society has increased the number of spaces in both their Scamper Camps, for 6-8 year olds, and Rambler Camps, for 9-11 year olds.

Campers will have the opportunity to explore secret caves, craft, play and paddle huge voyageur canoes.

Lake Park Society has also expanded its teen and pre-teen camps.

Camp Kin is back for a second year of inclusion, play, and celebration for all queer, trans, two-spirit, questioning, curious and allied 10 to 13 year olds. 

Land-Care / Self-Care is a brand new camp that will focus on youth mental health and environmental justice action for a select group of 13-17 year old participants.

Registration is now open and details on all the camps, and how to register, is available at Cumberland Lake Park.

In addition to summer camps, Lake Park Society continues to offer free programs through a park interpreter program. 

The park interpreter will offer children’s ‘park ranger’ programs, all ages watershed canoe tours, as well as movie and music nights. You don’t need to be staying at the campground to join in the fun. 

The total number of participants, however, will be limited for certain programs. Participation will be on a first come, first serve basis.

Online registration is recommended and currently open at Cumberland Lake Park.
