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.

We do our best to pack all the fun of overnight camp into a weekend. Depending on the season, all our activities are open and we host special campfires, devotions and activities.

All meals are provided and served family style. During parent/child weekends, parents and their children bunk together. During Camping Out at Kanata weekends, families may request to share a cabin with another family or may bunk by themselves. Either way, fun, family bonding, new experiences and memories are built into every weekend.
