Bouldering Wall |
This self directed program is offered to allow the youth some
practice on how to use the climbing wall, while keeping them close to the
ground. |
One of the four newest additions to the program. Introduced in 2008 it is a
wonderful addition to our Ropes and Climbing Program. |

Basic canoeing
lessons are required of all campers before canoes are provided. Canoe lesson are
normally booked for Sunday
morning. A barge will transport you to the canoes. |
Please Note: The
number of canoes allocated to your site is dependent on the number of campers
at the Reserve that week.
Personal Flotation Devices
(PFD's) must be worn in watercraft at all times. These are issued
at camp, however larger sized adults and youth are encouraged to bring
their own government approved PFD. |

A number of rowboats
are provided at each camp site for use throughout the week. |
Note: Rowboat
allocation for specific sites depends on the number of campers at HSR each
week. |

A marked swimming
area is provided at each campsite and may be used under Troop supervision between
dawn and dusk.

a trail network on the Reserve and surrounding property. Choose a day hike
for everyone or an overnight hike for a greater challenge. |
