Tim Horton Memorial Camp (also known as Tim Hortons Memorial Camp and Tim Horton's Memorial Camp) is a campsite operated by Canadian fast food chain Tim Hortons located in McDougall, Ontario, on Lorimer Lake Road.[1][2][3] The camp was founded in 1975 and was Tim Hortons' first camp.[1]

In July 2018, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited Tim Horton Memorial Camp.[3] In 2020, Tim Horton began offering online camp due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.[4]

On March 3, 2021, at around 7:30 am, the McDougall Fire Department responded to a call that the "Jill building" dormitory in Tim Horton Memorial Camp had exploded.[2][5] The explosion resulted in a fire, which destroyed the building.[2] At around 4 pm, the fire was extinguished.[5] Zero people were in the building at the time of the explosion and none of the maintenance staff on the campsite nor anyone else was injured.[2] The Ontario Fire Marshal's office was called in to investigate the incident.[5]
