Since 1949, Doe Lake Girl Guide Camp has been a proud symbol of the Guiding program in action throughout Ontario, across Canada and around the world. The rock of the Canadian Shield, the clear skies of a summer night scattered with stars, the glorious sunsets over the lake and melodic sounds of nature provide the ideal surrounding. Doe Lake offers indoor accommodation as well as tent sites. Please note that no ropes courses or climbing wall activities* will be available for 2024.

*As a result of new regulations governing Ontario Recreational Camps and waterfronts, effective immediately waterfront equipment such as canoes and kayaks are only available for use at GGCOC camp properties for the purpose of an approved event (that is offering this type of activity) or at a provincial camp program. Units are not able to use the waterfront during a unit weekend rental for swimming or boating at Doe Lake Camp except for activities such as campfire or beach games.
