Meet your Summer Camp Team!

“Hi! My name is Miro (they/them). I’ll be returning this summer for my fourth year on CK staff, and I’m thrilled to be taking on the role of Programming Director this year!! I can’t wait to jump in Clear Lake, hang out in the sunshine, and I’m especially excited for THEME DAYS!! A fun fact about me? I have swum in the oceans on both sides of Canada! I go to school in Vancouver, BC, so I also get to spend lots of time on top of mountains. This photo is me after hiking Tunnel Bluffs!”

Counting down the days because we’ll have campers moving in one month from today!! What session are you registered for??

Meet your Summer Camp Team!

“Hi Camp Kawartha campers and families! My name is Khroma, and this summer will be my second as one of the Head Counsellors! This means I am in charge of overseeing that all campers are adjusting to, and having a good time at camp. When you arrive I’m one of the people who will check you in. A little bit about me; I grew up in Alberta and absolutely love hiking, skiing, climbing, and all forms of outdoor activities and sports! In my free time you can likely find me on the side of a mountain. I am so excited for another Summer of canoeing, kayaking, sailing, and making amazing camp memories on Clear Lake. I cannot wait for the Summer to begin and to reunite with or meet all of you!”

You don’t have to tell us! Camp Kawartha is an award winning environmental and outdoor education organization, led by outdoor educators so we know just how important being outside is for mental and physical wellbeing.

Our summer camp focuses on the importance of nature connection, and the campers learn about how to care for and about the earth.

Meet your Summer Camp Team!

“Hi CK Families! I’m super excited and honoured to be coming back for a second summer as the Assistant Director! Camp Kawartha has been home since I started coming back in 2014, and the jitters before that first night at camp are still fantastic. I find myself incredibly lucky that my job allows me to interact with the people of this community on a regular basis and I look forward to spending another summer with all of you on clear lake, getting out for paddles, watching sunsets together, and creating and experiencing the magic of camp together. Until the summer, Graumis”

Get Ready for a Prehistoric Adventure! 🦖

We are thrilled to announce a brand-new addition to Day Camp Week 1: Dinosaur Week! 🦴

It’s time to travel back millions of years. Our junior paleontologists will spend the week uncovering "fossils," learning about the giants that once ruled the Earth, and exploring the wonders of the prehistoric world through hands-on outdoor activities. 🌿

What’s in store for Dino Week:
- Stewardship in Action: Discover how ancient ecosystems compare to our local environment today.
- Fossil Digs: Uncover “ancient” remains in our forest and wetlands.
- Prehistoric Arts: Create dino-inspired masterpieces to take home.
- Special Guests: Keep your eyes peeled for some very special prehistoric visitors!

Spaces are filling up fast! Don’t let this opportunity go extinct—register now to secure a spot for an unforgettable start to the summer. ☀️ https://campkawartha.campbrainregistration.com/
