​The Bancroft Leadership Centre

The Bancroft Leadership Centre at Camp Can-Aqua has been providing quality outdoor education programs for over 30 years.  We aim to provide outdoor education experiences that are challenging, engaging and exciting for all participants; we want everyone who visits our Outdoor Centre to leave having developed a skill and many life-long memories.

 

The Bancroft Leadership Centre is located 1.5 hours northeast of Oshawa, south of Bancroft in a town of Cardiff.  BLC occupies 160 acres of beautiful and natural surroundings with its own private lake.  Our site is very private, easily navigated and close to in-town amenities and emergency medical services.

 

The BLC is fortunate to have its own private lake. It offers several waterfront activities such as canoeing, kayaking, bic boarding, sailing, swimming, and waterskiing.  We are also lucky to have a wide array of land-based activities which include an archery range, low ropes course, arts and creativity centre, a beach volleyball court, a life-sized chess board, ping pong tables, tetherball courts, a theatrical performance area, playing fields and campfire circles.

 

While at our facility, participants will reside in one of twenty cabins on our site. Our cabins can accommodate up to 10 people per cabin. Participants/Guests will sleep in bunk beds and will be required to bring their own bedding.  We have one main washroom complex that includes shower facilities, located in the middle of camp.

 

Accompanying supervisors may reside in one of the smaller cabins that have been set aside specifically for adult supervisors, each have a private bathroom, complete with a shower.  All of the supervisor cabins are in close proximity to the student cabins.
