The Experience of a Lifetime
Camp Kanata is a classic summer camp for kids and teens ages 6-16. Our overnight, day and leadership camps provide safe and fun experiences grounded in the natural world. We are an inclusive and welcoming place dedicated to serving families and campers from diverse cultures, races, backgrounds, faiths and perspectives from across the country and around the world.
Camp Kanata Updates
We are so excited for the start of Camp! While campers may not be here this month, we will welcome our summer Administrative staff team at the end of May to kick off the first week of staff training. We can't wait to welcome your campers soon after.
Camper Essentials
It is very important to us that every child attending Camp has all of the items they need to be successful while on site. We recognize expenses go beyond registration for Camp, and we want to help alleviate any barriers that might put financial strain on families with our Camper Essentials program.
GEAR Up for Fun!
Did you know we offer Mountain Biking for campers ages 12 and older? It is an add-on program where campers learn cycling safety skills followed by opportunities to explore paths through the Camp Kanata woods and try out the challenge course.
To sign your child up for Mountain Biking, contact the Camp Kanata Office at (919) 556-2661 or CampKanata@CampKanata.org.
GEAR Up for Summer!
Not a mountain bike person? That's ok! You can still GEAR up for summer with items from the Gear Store!

Overnight Camp
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.
Day Camp
It’s amazing what you can do in a day – when you find the right place to do it, and the right people to do it with. Enter our world of the great outdoors, great activities, great friends and great fun.
Weekend Camp
Weekend Camps at Camp Kanata are for first-time campers, veteran campers looking to reconnect with summer friends, mothers and their children and adult/ family weekends.
There's more to explore at Camp Kanata!
Activities
Camp is really fun! If you think you might not go, go! You'll have a great time and make tons of new friends.
The best thing about Kanata is all the stuff you get to do. I love the lake! You can swim, go down the slide, jump on the blob and there's this big rope swing that you can swing out and drop off into the water!
