What are your plans for Summer 2021? Do you like adventure? Are you interested in spending heaps of time outside, in the sand, mud, and on the water? If you said yes to any of these, you will love what we have planned for our Summer Nature Camp Program at Sand Lake!
The Nature Camp at Sand Lake is new to our FAB Nature Camp Family this year. We have been working alongside the Township of Rideau Lakes and the Rideau Lakes Camp Staff to transition a much loved Township Program, into the Family of FAB Nature Camps. It is the same FABulous lakeside location, with a Nature Twist. Sand Lake is perfect for cooling off on those hot Summer days and for pond dipping too. Whether you are exploring the aquatic ecosystem of the lake or building shelters and meeting new friends on the Forest Trails, your days are bound to be full of adventure and discovery.
The FAB Nature Camp at Sand Lake can be found at 345 Delong Road, Elgin.
Join us for one or all of our theme based weeks, as we explore the natural wonders of the Frontenac Arch Biosphere. Each Week will take our campers on a new adventure, exploring, investigating, and reconnecting with the natural world.

Please note: all registrations will be treated as a "REQUEST TO REGISTER". If a spot is available and payment has been received, your registration will be completed. Sometimes it takes a couple of days to update our registration page and we may have an "overbooked" week. If this occurs, you will be contacted with 72 hours of your request and provided the option to receive a refund or to switch to an available week. As registration for individual weeks becomes full, we will do our best to remove those pages as soon as we are aware, to limit the potential for "overbooked" weeks. Thank you in advance, for your understanding.
