Itinerary:

Algonquin Park is a perfect place to spend the Labour Day weekend. From our base at Pog Lake (campsites 169 and 171) we'll explore trails, rent canoes, and when we're feeling less energetic....just relax by a beach or campfire.

The campground has drinking water, flush toilets and a comfort station with showers.

Wait list and payment dates:If you really want to come camping but are on the waiting list, you can send in money prior to the payment cutoff date. If everyone has paid and there are no extra spots, we'll refund your money, however, if an extra spot opens up on the cut off date, you'll get that spot.

Car pools and arrival times:We can show up any time on Friday but must vacate the campsites by 2pm on Monday. Car pool arrangements will be made with the help of the coordinators. In the case of waiting lists, a driver may replace a non-driver (or someone who choses to meet at the site) if we have a lack of car space. Carpool drivers will make accomodations to pick up people and equipment at a convenient place and time.

Never been camping? Don't worry - we'll make sure that you have access to all the equipment and information you need! Car camping is a fun and easy way to introduce yourself to camping in Ontario.

Feel free to contact the coordinators if you have any questions or concerns.
