The grounds offer rough camping sites for which there is no charge. Firewood is usually available. The school's shower and bathroom facilities are available at posted times.
The Kitigan Zibi Education Sector & Pow Wow Committee request that visitors travel only to designated areas within the school at posted times only.
Outdoor bathroom facilities are also available.
Campers may park their vehicles next to their campsites.
The lake, which is located behind the school, is NOT SUITABLE for swimming. Other lake areas within the community may be made available for either camping or swimming during the Pow Wow weekend. Contact Jimmy Odjick at 441-0931 for Tendesi Camping at Pockanock Lake.
