We provide traditional summer camp programs for youth in summer and programs for all ages in the spring/fall. Since 1919, YMCA Camp Kitchikewana has been serving children from the Simcoe/Muskoka area and beyond. An accredited member of the Ontario Camps Association, Kitchi is a skills-based camp with a focus on water-based activities, creative arts, environmental awareness and aboriginal history.
Kitchi is uniquely located on Beausoleil Island in Georgian Bay Islands National Park. With clean water, sandy beaches and access to over 22 kilometers of well-maintained hiking trails, YMCA Camp Kitchikewana is perfect for exploring and educating children about the natural world. Campers have the opportunity to take CYA sailing levels, ORCKA canoe and kayak levels, YMCA swimming levels, and Livesaving Society levels while at camp, as well as performance arts, arts and crafts and guitar lessons. Campers stay in recently rebuilt cabins with a minimum of two counsellors and a support staff team that is committed to a "camper first" environment.
