Camping for a Better Planet

At Camp Rentique, we believe camping is more than just roasting marshmallows and taking selfies by the fire. It’s about connecting with nature and leaving it better than we found it. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and support green initiatives in Canada and Ontario. Sounds fancy, right? Don’t worry, we’ll keep it simple, so you can see how renting gear with us isn’t just good for you, it’s good for the planet.

1. Renting Saves the Planet (UN Goal 12)

Let’s be real—how often are you using that tent in your garage? Exactly. Renting camping gear means fewer products being made, less waste piling up, and more people sharing high-quality equipment. It’s like borrowing a cup of sugar from your neighbor, except it’s a sleeping bag.

2. Supporting Local Communities (UN Goal 8)

Camping isn’t just about enjoying the view—it’s about helping others enjoy it too. Every time you rent from us, you’re supporting local landowners and small businesses. Our partnerships and profit-sharing models mean rural communities get a boost while you’re out there soaking in the starlight. Who knew your camping trip could help someone else achieve their dreams? 

3. Turning Land Into Opportunity (UN Goal 11)

Unused land? We see it as an opportunity waiting to happen. By working with landowners, we help them turn empty spaces into eco-friendly camping and glamping sites. Whether it’s a cozy spot for your tent or a dreamy glamping retreat, we’re making sure people can experience the outdoors in a way that’s sustainable—and Instagram-worthy.

4. Keeping Nature Pristine (UN Goal 15)

Camping is about escaping into the wild, not destroying it. That’s why we work with conservation-minded landowners and encourage campers to leave no trace. Think of us as the friends who gently remind you to pick up your candy wrappers—except we’re doing it on a much bigger scale. Together, we’re keeping forests, lakes, and trails as beautiful as they should be.

5. Camping = Climate Action (UN Goal 13)

Who needs a plane ticket when Ontario’s great outdoors are just around the corner? Local camping adventures mean less travel and a much smaller carbon footprint. Plus, spending a weekend in nature has a way of making you want to protect it. That’s the magic of camping—you leave more connected to the earth, with maybe just a little extra dirt under your nails.

Canada and Ontario’s Green Ideas

We’re proud to be part of Canada’s commitment to sustainability. Programs like Ontario’s Sustainable Tourism 2030 Pledge and eco-retreats like Hammond Hill inspire us to keep pushing for greener tourism. Whether it’s turning farmland into glamping sites or supporting conservation projects, we’re all about making Ontario a leader in eco-friendly travel.

And hey, we’re just getting started. We’re always looking for new ways to work with local communities and make camping a force for good. Because let’s face it—there’s no better way to enjoy the great outdoors than knowing you’re helping protect it too.

Why It Matters

Camping has always been about more than just fresh air and s’mores. It’s a way to connect with the planet and do something good for it at the same time. When you choose Camp Rentique, you’re not just renting gear—you’re joining a movement to make the outdoors cleaner, greener, and more accessible.
