Camp Kanata is a YMCA summer camp located about an hour north of Raleigh, N.C.
We offer Day and Overnight Camps in one-week sessions. During the fall and spring, Camp Kanata offers Weekend Camps for elementary and middle school kids, and a high school leadership camp.
All camps offer exceptional water and land activities including kayaking, canoeing, archery and hiking on our 150-acre, wooded campus.
YMCA Guides spend their Fall Outings at Kanata in October and November and the Camp facilities are available for team building and/ or corporate retreats as well.
