Silver Lake Forestry Centre hosts seven, one-week camp session starting in July through August wrapping up with "Teen Camp". Children, ages 7-16, from all over the world come to experience a wilderness vacation packed full of rugged but fun outdoor activities unparalleled by any other. Campers leave Silver Lake with a great respect for our forests and a new or renewed confidence which enables them to enjoy their newly acquired wilderness skills for years to come.

The summer camp program has been changed to be a progressive program. Each incremental year the camper visits the camp they will build on skills they learned in the previous years.
