The schedule for summer campers is designed to give campers the greatest overall experience that camp has to offer. Summer Camp campers get to do it all, visiting the program areas of Kitaki with their cabin group. Climbing, archery, swimming, boating and loads more. Clubs provide the option for summer campers to customize their experience and try new things year after year, as well as spend more time in an area they particularly enjoy.

As a summer camper the experience changes with your age. As your camper ages they live in progressively different cabins and units. They also experience differences at every program area. Challenge levels increase at the ropes course, target sport options expand, and kids can learn to use different boats down at our lake.

Check in will be midafternoon on the first day of the program, and check out will be mid-morning on the last day.  More details on check in will be emailed with the Parent Guide towards the beginning of May. 

Campers in our summer camp program get to choose three different club activities during their week (they will pick them after they arrive). Clubs meet three times during the week and are a chance for kids to get more time learning a skill or doing an activity they enjoy. The exact clubs offered change each week, but favorites include: Archery Club, Friendship Crafts, Kitaki Dance, Globetrotters, Frisbee Fun, Kitaki Rocks, Kitaki Times, and more.

Summer campers stay in our air-conditioned camper cabins. These cabins are designed with 15 beds in a generous space and attached porch. Each cabin will house 10 kids, two staff and a teen volunteer. Older summer campers move up to East Camp, a separate village of cabins tucked away in Kitaki's beautiful forest.
