Welcome to
Camp Wildman provides Scouts with space and nature resources to explore, discover and grow. Outside of the formal campsites and cabins, there is access to wild hiking trails and wooded areas that will take many visits to fully experience, allowing for Youth-Led free play that is the foundation of Scouting. What adventures are waiting for you?
Camp Wildman is a beautiful 100 acre wooded wilderness in Simcoe County, approximately 40 km northwest of Barrie, ON. The camp has been used by Scouts Canada since being purchased from the Wildman family in 1937. The property has seen many changes since then and Scouts from decades ago love coming back the improvements. Today, the camp is run by an ambitious team of volunteers who work tirelessly to ensure every camping experience is the best!

Hiking and the Obstacle Course
Camp Wildman offers a four part trail system suitable for use by all Sections, including an obstacle course suitable to ages 8 and older. Constructed by the Bell Pioneers, it provides many challenging individual and team activities. The hiking trails pass through the centre of our property exploring a stream, beaver pond, and a number of small water bodies in the wilderness of a provincially significant wetland. The main activity area of the camp is sandy terrain with a large sandy open field central to the three cabins.
Millar Pit
There is a main Campfire Area adjacent to upper ridge with a stage and seating for multiple Sections to be able to Link and have a Formal Campfire
