Camp Zagime is held on the second weekend of June -- specifically the weekend containing the second Sunday of June.

For 2025, this is June 6-8.  For 2026, this is June 12-14.

Camp Zagime is held at Birds Hill Park.  Camping and most activities will be in Group Use Area 2, near the East Gate (off Hwy 206 north of Oakbank).

Camp Zagime is an annual All-Sections, theme-based weekend camp open to all Groups. Friday groups arrive, are assigned to their camping space, and have a chance to set up. Saturday is fun-filled , with each Section travelling around to different age-appropriate activities. Saturday night we hold a campfire celebration. Sunday has some activities for the entire camp before we pack up and head home. Throughout the weekend, there are on-going activities that the youth and adults can take part in.

"What's in a name?"

Our camp name "zagime" comes from the Ojibwe word for "mosquito", a creature you will likely meet during a Manitoba summer.

This camp is a fun event for the whole family, children and adults alike. We will keep our rules and regulations to a minimum and ask that all adults are mindful in helping us to achieve a wonderful camp.

Please Note The Following Rules

1. NO ALCOHOL or CANNABIS is allowed at camp, as this is a scouting event. Anyone found with either at camp will be asked to leave immediately with their child. This is in effect from Friday to Sunday.
2. NO SMOKING or VAPING allowed at any times in front of youth - including the adult's own children. Smoking is only allowed in the parking area.
3. Respect Other Group’s Camp Sites – walk around other groups' sites and ask your children to play within their own site areas. When entering another group’s site, please ask for permission loudly before entering their site.  If possible, enter via their camp gate.
4. For safety, vehicles are restricted on the campsite.  Individual gear will be carried in from the parking lot.  Vehicles dropping off group gear must be registered with Traffic Control and parked offsite from Friday 9:00 PM until Sunday noon.
5. In order to preserve the real camp experience for the children, we do not allow RV’s, camper trailers or tent trailers at the camp. If you require one of these for medical reasons you are welcome to book in the public campground and drive into camp for the day.
6. NO PETS are allowed at camp. Please make arrangements for your family pet prior to coming to camp. Anyone who brings a pet will be asked to remove them from the site immediately. This is for the security, health, and safety of all participants.
7. There are no electronic devices allowed at camp including video games, open speakers, and portable televisions in order to preserve the real camping spirit for the youth.  Smart phone use should be limited to necessary communications and photography.
8. For safety reasons, headphones and earbuds should not be worn during activities or inside tents, as they could interfere with warnings or instructions.
9. 10:00 PM is lights out within camp. All campers should be at their sites for the night and please keep campfire noise low.  In the morning, please keep noise low before 07:00 AM.
