When and where is Camp BoldFire?

Camp BoldFire 2026 will run from Sunday August 9-Friday August 14.

Camp BoldFire is located near Petawawa, Ontario located approximately 2 hours from Ottawa and 3 hours from Toronto. The exact location will be shared with you once you are registered.

Campers will be dropped off directly at camp or we can assist in arranging carpool options.

What is the site like? Where will I sleep?

Our site includes: dining hall, sleeping cabins, waterfront, campfire, playing field, craft lodge and more!

Cabins are assigned by age, regardless of gender identity. Each cabin sleeps approximately 6-8 campers and two staff sleeping in the cabin. Each cabin has bunk beds (with mattresses) and electricity. 

All washrooms are single stall and open to all genders.

Who will be attending Camp BoldFire? 

Campers: Ages 12-17 (born 2009-2014)

All of our staff and volunteers (ages 18+) will be participating in mandatory training prior to camp. We will have a trained medic on site and many of our staff have first aid training. All waterfront and swimming activities will be supervised by a qualified lifeguard.

Arts Programs

Here at camp BoldFire we strive to make camp feel like a place where self-expression and creativity are not just encouraged but fueled, and art is a wonderful way to do that! From tie-dye and bracelet making to painting and popsicle house building, there’s something for everyone! Art programs can also be a great way to embrace imperfections and our differences by seeing how we each take an idea.

Outdoor Programs

Feeling like something that’s more in the traditional summer camp category? Maybe outdoor programs are the right pick! Whether you prefer something more laid back like nature walks or something more active like sports you should be able to find something that interests you! These versatile programs often tap into areas from the other program categories to keep you on your toes! (Which should be protected in close-toed shoes)

Aquatic Programs

Blub blub! Aquatic programs have it all from GERV, clams, free swim  or anything you can think of that could be done in a lake can and very well might happen. Under the supervision of a lifeguard we hope to offer a variety of fun activities to cool off in the water on those hot camp days!

Educational Programs

Think school was over? Think again! (though hopefully far more fun) At BoldFire we offer a large array of different educational programs ranging on topics such as science, mental health and coping strategies, Trans 101, Coming Out or sex ed. This programs are designed to teach campers things they may not have learned elsewhere while making learning fun and destigmatizing topics as we go!
