Everything you need to know before you pack your tent.

The Details

What is Camp Pawprint?

Camp Pawprint is a furry-community group camping event being held at a group site at Paul Lake Provincial Park, approximately 25 km northeast of Kamloops, British Columbia. This is our first ever event and we're keeping it small, casual, and community-focused.

This is not a traditional furry convention. It's camping with other furries in a genuinely beautiful part of BC. Think of it as a long weekend with friends you haven't met yet.

  • Private behaviour in private spaces is your own business

TBD

Pricing will be announced once we finalize site costs. Register now to hold your spot — you won't be charged until pricing is confirmed and you confirm your attendance.

Getting There
Two campsites share this name. Use the map on this page — do not rely on GPS alone.

The campsite is about 25 km from Kamloops city centre. Carpooling is strongly recommended as parking is limited — there is no transit service to the park!

Carpooling coordination will be available closer to the event date via your attendee dashboard. Kamloops Airport (YKA) is the nearest airport with connections to Vancouver (YVR) and Calgary (YYC).
