Summer Camp Programs 2024
Registration opens on Wednesday, November 1, 2023, at 7pm!
Summer Camp has the distinction of being Camp Kawartha’s foundational program and has continued to nurture generations of campers since the camp first opened its gates in 1921.
Starting as a local initiative to get underprivileged boys out of the city to enjoy the benefits of nature for a few weeks each summer, it has always been our goal to create a safe and inclusive community in which children of all ages can develop their personal and practical skills and positively expand their life experiences.
A century on, our passion to help raise the next generation remains undiminished and has evolved to be more inclusive and more supportive than ever before. We continue to work with charitable organizations from across the province to provide children with the opportunity to come to camp. We take pride in being inclusive of all genders and nationalities. We treasure the deep connection we share with our camper families and the wider camp community that is now represented on every continent on Earth. We strive to provide a deeper, more informed connection with the natural world, and we actively encourage the development of leadership skills and positive role models in all of our campers.
We are a small camp, but we have deep roots and a big heart. Your summer home away from home, and we can’t wait to see you all again soon.
