Camp Lone Cloud Island
PROGRAMS
Scouts Canada, Halifax
Region offers youth aged 8-15 years old an opportunity
to experience an active outdoor program in a residential camp
setting. The camp is open to all youth, some have been in
cubs or scouts, but many simply enjoy camping on the island.
The newly renovated camp is located
only 20 minutes from downtown Halifax and just minutes from
Bedford, Sackville and Dartmouth. The new cabins are built
on the shores of Miller Lake and can accommodate about 60
younger youth and about 30 older youth during each weekly
camp.
Camp Lone Cloud is accessible only by boat; this provides
a safe, secure and adventurous environment for the youth.
The Clipper transports our campers and staff to the mainland.
Our summer program centers around waterfront activities, the
appreciation of nature, camping, crafts, songs and wide games.
Younger youth (8-11 years old) learn new skills, and have
a great time canoeing, going on out-trips, swimming, playing
team games, making crafts and performing skits at our campfires.
A younger youth program introduces the campers to outdoor
activities only available in a residential camp. They will
be accommodated in recently constructed cabins designed to
give a total camping experience for a six-night stay on the
island. Up to 10 youth, one counselor and one counselor-in-training
stay in each cabin.
Older youth (12-15 years old) learn leadership skills and
team building while having fun in all waterfront activities
and camping in the wilderness. They will be accommodated in
tents while on the mainland and cabins during their stay on
Camp Lone Cloud. The youth will develop their outdoor awareness
and challenge their limits during their 10 day stay.
The Camp Director and staff have developed a program that
will give each camper an enjoyable stay on the island. Most
staff members at Camp Lone Cloud have a scouting background
and have received training in First Aid, swimming, canoeing,
wilderness camping and youth programming.
