Wilderness Rendezvous (WR) is a scout camp that takes place annually in the Cypress Hills region of Saskatchewan and Alberta. The camp opened in 1972 and focused on orienteering and general hiking skills. WR is now a seven year program, with the first four years progressively gaining difficulty in its hikes. The fifth to seventh years emphasize leadership skills and training.
