Overnight Camp

When kids are away from home and away from parents and everyday friends, they grow. New experiences, new friends and new challenges shape campers into confident, independent kids. Campers, ages 6 - 15, gain confidence in themselves and who they are by making independent decisions about their day and activities. Our camper-to-counselor ratio is 5:1, and campers develop strong bonds with their counselors. In turn, counselors help campers reach their goals. Camp Kanata is intentionally rustic. From our wooden cabins and bunks to our no electronics policy, campers connect with each other in the real world – face-to-face and friend-to-friend – during activities, meals and evening cabin time.
