Camping In Ontario!

Spring Meeting & Mini CampEx

Wintergreen is soon to be replaced by trilliums and snow with campers. Before the rivers begin to swell with snow melt, and your campgrounds begin to swell with campers, re-connect with your industry at the Camping In Ontario SPRING MEETING.
This year we will be gathering at the Walper Hotel in Kitchener, ON on April 8, 2024.

Breakfast begins at 8:00 am, Meeting ends at 4:00 pm
Includes: breakfast, lunch, education sessions, member meetings, and CampEx
Cost: $80.00 pp +HST

Building on the conversations began at the November Convention, we will be delving into:
- Glamping success story with CIO member Victor Pasaran from Tiny Village
- Getting Ready for Staff (and you are staff!!)
- CIO/OPCA name change and bylaw amendments carry over from November
- Cracker Barrel (because we all learn so much from each other)
- CampEx, with your favourite suppliers to pick up last minute surprises for your campers

Our Mandate

Camping In Ontario, also known as Ontario Private Campground Association (OPCA), is a member-based Association, comprised of small businesses located throughout the Province of Ontario. Our Association was started in 1969 by a group of campground owners that wanted to improve their businesses. While the way we do things has changed over the years, our mandate remains the same:

"As a vital and active stakeholder in tourism, Camping In Ontario supports member campgrounds in the Province of Ontario by educating campground owners, marketing camping in Ontario to the general public and advocating to government."
