The Different Types of Cabins at Camp

Whether a camper is new to Camp or returning, there is often a lot of anticipation surrounding which cabin they will be in. Not just which unit or who is in their cabin, but what the cabins look like and the storage offerings available. At Camp Kanata, we’re fortunate to have a variety of different cabin styles, but we also recognize that this can make it difficult to plan ahead for the summer. That’s why we’re taking the time to break down our cabin types and explain the key differences of each.  

 

General Tips and Tricks: 

  • For all campers, we recommend bringing a small storage bin, trunk or plastic 3-tier organizer for additional storage. 

  • Be sure to bring an extension cord. There are outlets scattered throughout the cabins, but their locations vary. 

  • All cabins have a clothesline outside for wet clothes and towels. 

The Barracks and The Manor: Cabins 21-24

The Barracks and The Manor house Camp’s youngest boys, the Spartans. The duplex features: 

  • A front porch that connects separate entrances to two cabins. 

  • Storage with two small cubbies. Each camper will have one half of the storage unit, either the top or the bottom, depending on their bunk. 

  • Bunk beds with storage underneath to share between both bunkmates.

  • A storage rack in the bathroom for toiletries.
