I doubt this was the work of some 13 or 14 year olds, and it was definitely not someone in the park(a camper), the rangers found a couple coolers and non alcoholic contents dumped out outside of the campgrounds, like it was a gathering point, constant repetition, someone is stockpiling,,, either for winter or to sell.

I have Never had this happen in a provincial park, I have had it happen a few times in conservation areas, but there is a noticeable difference in the to types of parks,, and how they are run,, if you are in Ontario or spent time in several of both you would know what I mean. and have had it happen in private parks.
when ever I have run into this in the past its only 2 or 3 coolers, not 8 9 or 10, and its a couple teens or early 20 somethings that run out of booze, some end up getting caught the next day when they leave all the evidence laying around their campsite, especially when theres wine bottles that they can't explain where they got because they can only be bought at the winery which at that particular place is 100 and something miles away and they have no clue where.
Theft is theft no matter how you try to dress it up, its not kids being kids,,, its someone being a criminal and they need to be treated as such, back when I was a kid you did not do sh** like that cause if you got caught you would get beat real bad not just by the person you stole from but your parents to,, and the cops if they were called, there was non of this whiny liberal BS "ohhhh but he/she is just a kid,,, being a kid"
