Camp Pathfinder, Boys summer camp in Algonquin Park, Canada

Camp Pathfinder is a boys' summer camp on an island in Source Lake, in Algonquin Provincial Park, just over a mile from Highway 60. It runs a canoe-tripping program with a fleet of 53 red cedar-canvas canoes, maintained in an on-site workshop built in 2010. The camp also has a ropes course and climbing walls.

Camp Pathfinder was founded in 1914 by William Bennett and Franklin Gray. In 1922 it was sold to Herman J. "Chief" Norton, its most influential owner. When the Ontario Provincial Government told Norton the park leases would not be renewed, the camp was nearly shut down or sold; the lease was later renewed and the camp stayed in operation. Later owners or co-owners included Frank J. Horton, Bill Swift, Roy Thrall, Mac Rand, Glenn Arthurs and Michael Sladden.

Each of the camp's 53 cedar canvas canoes is named for a figure from its history, and every tripping staff member is responsible for maintaining one through the season. The fleet is kept in a workshop built in 2010, where builders including Warren Mcdermott, Joe "Jerry" Egan and Dave Statten have made and repaired canoes, many originally built by local builder Jack Hurley.

Registration opens each September for programs of varying lengths throughout the summer. The camp operates only during the summer season and is located in a remote forest area, so plan accordingly.
