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.
Camping Out at Kanata
There is no better vacation than a weekend together at Camp Kanata.
All are welcome to come to Kanata for a fun-filled, memorable all-inclusive weekend. Families, alumni or groups of adult friends stay in cabins eat in our new Dining Hall and explore all the activities Kanata has to offer.
Mother Daughter and Mother Son
These weekends are dedicated to mothers and daughters and mothers and sons. Cabins are open to groups and special activities are planned to celebrate the relationships. All maternal roles are welcome and celebrated.

This is the original Weekend Camp for elementary or middle school-age campers. Perfect for those new to overnight camping, or those who want to reconnect with friends from past summers. Spending the weekend at Camp means cabin time, exploring activities and dining with friends in the Dining Hall.
