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
Summer continues to inch closer. What an exciting feeling! The quiet moments can be nice, but there is nothing better than hearing Camp in full swing from a random cheer-off between two Day Camp huddles on the way to lunch or the enjoyment coming from the cabins that are swimming at the Pool during General Swim. We can't wait until the summer noise begins!

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!
