Update – Jan 21, 2022 –
Healthcare professionals and applicable public health recommendations are guiding our response to COVID-19. Vaccination requirements for the 2022 summer camping season are expected to include the following:
- All staff must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 prior to arriving at camp (currently two vaccines at least two weeks before arrival)
- All campers (including everyone attending, volunteering, or visiting camp) aged 5+ must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 prior to their arrival at camp (currently two vaccines at least two weeks before arrival).
- Valid medical exemptions (in Ontario, a medical exemption approved by your public health unit and displayed on an enhanced vaccination certificate with QR code) must be shared with the camp office at least two weeks prior to arrival. Exemptions from outside Ontario will be considered on a case-by-case basis and at camp management’s sole discretion. Where a jurisdiction has a government process to evaluate medical exemptions similar to Ontario, evidence of such exemption will be requested. If approved, alternative measures may be required (e.g., proof of a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours prior to arrival at camp).
The abovementioned criteria may be subject to change before camp as applicable public health guidance evolves (e.g., if a booster dose becomes required). Red Pine Camp will do everything possible to provide notice via email and through our website should any of these policies change.

Volunteer at Camp
Generations of Red Pine campers have benefited from the hard work and ideas of countless volunteers. Now, more than ever, we are in need of volunteers. An aging property, expanded service lines and changes in regulatory requirements have resulted in a lengthy list of projects, large and small.
How can you help?
Get involved! Take a minute and let us know how you would like to be involved with this summer’s operations through this survey LINK.
Mark your calendars! Plan on participating in RPC’s work weekends. For campers new and old, work weekends involve some elbow grease, but also offer a great opportunity to renew or make new acquaintances.
Volunteering is not only limited to Work Weekends and property tasks (although there are a lot of those!), we are looking for volunteers with a wide range of skill sets. Complete this survey to help us know your expertise. Reach out to our Executive Camp Director to learn how your skills can benefit your summer fun place ~ Red Pine Camp.
