Camp Byng FAQ

What are the Camp rules, guidelines and safety?

Ensuring the safety, respect, and enjoyment of all our campers and staff is our top priority. These are our safety rules and guidelines based on Scouts Canada's standards: All campers must have staff supervision at all times to ensure safety and guidance. Upon arrival and departure, it’s essential for everyone to check in and out with camp staff to maintain a secure environment.

For activities such as archery and swimming, we require the use of appropriate safety gear, which the camp provides. Swimming is allowed only in designated areas and during supervised times to ensure the safety of all campers. A certified lifeguard must be present during water activities.

When participating in hiking or star hikes, campers must stay on marked trails and be accompanied by camp leaders. For night hikes, using flashlights is mandatory to prevent accidents in low visibility.

Cooking should be done only in designated areas, and it’s crucial to monitor closely. Ensure that fires are completely extinguished after use to prevent wildfires and maintain campground safety. Please do not feed or approach wildlife to preserve the natural environment and ensure your safety. Store food securely and dispose of all trash in designated receptacles.

Respect for all camp facilities and reporting any damages to camp staff helps maintain a clean and functional environment for everyone. At Camp Byng, we strive for a community atmosphere where bullying and inappropriate behaviour are not tolerated. Respect among campers and staff is paramount. Everyone is encouraged to familiarize themselves with the camp's emergency procedures and evacuation routes and to participate in safety drills. Adhering to these guidelines will ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone at Camp Byng. Enjoy your adventure with us!
