Camp Kanata

Unplug your fun

Come to Camp Kanata and let your child experience a week of sleep-away camp.

Read our Why the Y blog and you'll hear from real people: parents, kids, staff members, and volunteers. You'll hear from folks who wanted to lose weight and others who wanted to gain friends. All of them can tell you why the Y.
