Camp Samac
Camp Samac
Camp Samac is a Scouts Canada campground founded in 1946 in Oshawa, Ontario, covering roughly 63. 5 hectares of forested land that includes valleylands and a segment of Oshawa Creek.
Despite being surrounded by residential neighbourhoods and urban development, it remains one of Scouts Canada's largest campgrounds by both size and participation, and is identified on Heritage Oshawa's Inventory of Heritage Properties as a Class A heritage site.
The property offers winterized cabins, hiking trails, meeting spaces, and Lake Samac for paddling. Programs run year-round and are open to Scouts groups as well as other youth organizations and the general public.
Summer Day Camp is a flagship offering, while winter programming includes snowshoeing and campfires.
