Breadcrumb
A week at Camp Kanata overnight camp is like no other week during the summer.
This week is filled with new experiences like learning how to canoe or going down the double water slide for the first time. New friends and new challenges shape campers into confident, independent people.
Camp Kanata campers choose their daily activities and their counselors help them set and reach goals such as earning a higher swim band or conquering a fear of heights on the Alpine Tower.
Camp is set on 150 acres of woods, trails, fields and cabins surrounding the lake. We are a classic summer overnight camp for kids ages 6 - 15 and our focus is connecting campers to the outside, natural world through shared experiences.
We have a no-electronics policy that allows campers to be their real, authentic selves. Campers connect with each other face-to-face and friend-to-friend during activities, meals and evening cabin time.
Activities
Camp Kanata is full of activities like racing down our double water slide, or paddling a kayak on the lake, or casting a line. Campers can climb the Alpine Tower, play ultimate frisbee or take a hike with friends and counselors.
Beaver Dam
For an additional fee, campers ages 12 - 15 can take a half-day trip to Beaver Dam for an afternoon of kayaking. Campers and trained staff often spot animals and there are breaks for exploring. Everyone eats a picnic lunch on the lake. There is an additional fee for this excursion and sign-up happens during overnight camp registration

Mountain Biking
Mountain Biking is a fun way to explore Camp Kanata’s hills and pastures. Our bicycles and helmets are available for campers ages 12 - 15. Instructors assist campers with learning basic biking skills, safe maneuvers and tactics, and general maintenance. It’s a great activity to explore some of the unexplored parts of camp under the supervision of an instructor. Mountain Biking is available for an additional fee, and sign-up happens during overnight camp registration
