Healthy and happy, safe and sound – that’s the way to spend a summer.

And since it’s a parent’s job to worry about these things, it’s our responsibility to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible with the safety precautions we have in place.

That’s why, underneath all the fun, we take the health and safety of each camper so seriously. We have one counselor for every five campers, to assure close supervision of all activities. Life jackets, helmets and other safety gear are required for participation in appropriate activities, and safety instruction is an integral part of the skills-development process.

Our well-equipped Health Centeralways has a registered nurse on duty living at the camp. If required, additional medical help is provided by nearby professional medical services.

In addition, Kanata maintains accreditation by the American Camping Association and has an “A” rating from the North Carolina Health Department.

Kanata’s counselors come from as far away as Australia and from as close as Wake Forest. Staff loyalty is apparent through an unusually high return rate summer after summer.
