Camp Sheldrick Traditional Cache

SNC is one of 36 conservation authorities in Ontario. SNC focuses on a variety of conservation practices within the South Nation watershed. see map: (SNC Watershed)

SNC is an environmental organization that works closely with its member municipalities, government, individual landowners and various community groups to maintain and improve the management of natural resources within its watershed. This camp is an example of how SNC works cooperatively with community to come to a positive outcome. The posted coordinates bring you close to a faded sign for Camp Sheldrick. This camp, which is primarily located at the end of the eastward fork, is a Scouts Canada campground under an agreement with South Nation Conservation.

The scouts who use this park have worked hard to create a great campground, and have maintained the surrounding natural beauty along Hess Creek. Unfortunately, this area has had been visited too often by vandals. Please take note of any unusual activity going on here in your logs.

This cache has been placed with the permission of Camp Sheldrick warden Shawn Markell, under the condition that geocachers do NOT leave the roadside to find this cache. This is to ensure the security of Scouts Canada members using this campground.
Alternatively, this cache can be accessed by canoe or kayak by launching at Cass Bridge Conservation Area, and paddling for approximately 2.5 km down the South Nation River, and then a short but very scenic paddle up Hess Creek.
Cache is a camo'd micro just off the road.
