Health & Safety

We are continually updating our equipment as well as training our staff in the most recent and evidence based instructional and safety techniques. All staff are first-aid trained, and all our counsellors are at minimum certified Bronze Cross Lifesaving Society lifeguards. All coaches are certified in their respective disciplines.

We pride ourselves on our mature and adult staff. All staff are a minimum of 19 years old with the exception of our junior staff who are 18 years old, have completed our leadership training, and work alongside our more experienced staff.

Our responsible staff and small staff-to-camper ratio enables us to have constant and appropriate supervision of campers at all times.

Having a doctor at camp full time means we can treat any minor injuries or illnesses on site. Prescriptions that may be needed can be issued by our doctor.

Our doctors are Dr. Emily Baker, Dr. Ken Lee and Dr. Davina Lansing. All have a combination of being either Alumni themselves or previous summers in their role. Most have their own children attending CAC this summer.

In an event of an emergency, we have full access to metropolitan hospitals in North Bay, New Liskeard and Sudbury that service Northern Ontario.

We will always inform families of any needed medical care should we be advised to do so by our Doctors.

Canadian Adventure Camp is accredited by the Ontario Camps Association (OCA) and the Canadian Camping Association (CCA) and adheres to over 400 separate standards dealing with all aspects of camp operation including: health, safety, leadership, food, staffing, programming, administration, and maintenance.
