Camp Summerdaze takes place on 100-acres of beautiful, lush, forest in Southeastern Algonquin, Ontario, Canada. This private paradise features an abundance of nature trails, dozens of tree species, and a flowing creek. Four hours from Montreal and Toronto and under two hours from Ottawa. Driving details are provided to confirmed campers.  Please note: there is no bus service to the land or nearest town.  Campers are expected to drive/carpool.

Programming runs from Friday to Monday. We welcome camper arrivals on Thursday evening and typically feature a cozy movie by the fire that evening.

Thursday 5-10PM, Friday 3-10PM, Saturday 12-3PM, Sunday 12-3PM
Campers are welcome to arrive on the property from 5pm on Thursday.

Please note the check in times (and gate closing times) are firm, as described.

Campers will not be permitted to enter the property past 10PM - unless specifically requested in advance to our team. We have a late check in fee available to accommodate late arrivals from 10pm-12am - this must be paid in advance so that our team can accommodate your arrival. For late arrivals, we will have a designated camping area set aside for you. This extra fee of $50+hst (per vehicle) will cover after-hour staffing costs and to accommodate having a team member to direct you to your campsite.

No late arrivals will be accommodated. Please note - it is challenging to choose a campsite and set up your tent in the dark.

We appreciate your cooperation while we manage the most seamless check in process for you and your fellow campers.

PARKING PASS - each vehicle must have a parking pass purchased in advance from the Add-Ons purchase section.

Campers are welcome to stay on the property until 3PM on Monday afternoon, unless they have opted in for an additional night stay on the property (in which case, departure is Tuesday at 3PM).  The Monday add-on is called the Monday Decompression Ticket.

Meals are not included, unless you purchased our Meal Plan. We have selected some amazing food vendors to provide delicious meals throughout the weekend - Saturday + Sunday (brunch and dinner) as well as Monday brunch. Additional food will be available via our on-site vendors.  Meal Plans can only be purchased in advance.  We sell out EARLY every year so grab yours while you can!

It helps us reduce our camper waste substantially and we feel the overall camper experience is much more positive. ‘Breaking bread’ as a community is integral to our vibe. Plus, you don’t need to worry about shopping, prepping, cooking and cleaning during your experience – this leaves much more time to really dive into FUN!

Yes! Snacks are life! If you are an early riser, we suggest bringing breakfast items.

Yes, you are welcome to bring what you need for the weekend as we have no ins and outs. We do not allow glass bottles for safety reasons. Ice is available for purchase at the Tuck Shoppe for $8/bag.

• Swimming at the nearby lake
• Beautiful grounds for walking

• Comfortable lounge areas

It’s a very easy 10 minute walk from main camp. Feel free to bring your own water shoes, floaties, paddle boards and water toys! We highly encourage this! This lake is on crown land so please be mindful of leaving it in pristine condition when you leave – leave no trace!

You are in nature. Bugs are always around. Bring bug spray for mosquitoes and we suggest a bug zapper for your tent (before you go to bed). As recommended every year, a bug hat – you can never guarantee nature and it’s always useful if you go for a hike deep in the woods, on one of the beautiful trails.

Yes, please bring your own (and a large blanket for lounging).

• Personal/loud sound systems (let’s allow campers to rest when they are in their tents please!)
• Drones (unless with permission)
