We had the good fortune recently to welcome a great group of young people for a 4.5-day stay. The group was 4-H Ontario, and what an amazing bunch of young Canadians they were!!
When you think of 4-H you might assume it’s a club that provides youth an opportunity to learn farming and homemaking skills. It has evolved from that early mandate to focus on four themes – community engagement and communications; science and technology; environment and healthy living; plus, sustainable agriculture and food security.
|
|
The 4-H organizers were well prepared for their visit with us, and the kids had a blast!
“4-H Ontario has been bringing groups to Camp Kawartha for over 15 years. The experience we have with their facilitation team for high ropes and initiatives has been excellent. The programming offered enhanced our participants' experience and tied well to the other content we were delivering during our time at Camp Kawartha.”
If you have a group that you think might benefit from or enjoy a weekend at Camp Kawartha, please reach out to Susan – sramey@campkawartha.ca – to check for availability.

Consider a Canoe Trip for Your Teen! |
|
Do you have a teen (14 - 16 years old) looking for an exciting summer camp experience and a chance to build their leadership and outdoor skills?
During these two-week sessions, participants prepare for the trip by planning their meals, learning safety procedures, practicing paddling skills and learning how to use a map and compass.
They are taken to Killarney Provincial Park or Algonquin Provincial Park, where they will be canoe tripping for the next 9 days.
These experiences give teens the opportunity to develop their independence and confidence, while becoming a leader within their group. They learn to depend on each other, and to recognize the importance and value of every team member!

Nature Showcase: The Chipmunk |
|
Now that spring has arrived you may be seeing one of the heralds of spring – the Chipmunk! They are emerging from their winter dens where they basically slept away the cold winter in their soft and cozy unground nests…complete with latrine and larder!
Did you know that there are five types of chipmunks in Canada?
The type we most often see around the Camp are the Eastern Chipmunks.
