At YMCA Camp Kitchi we are very proud of our history
and reputation of providing quality residential camping
programs since 1919. The Kitchi tradition is strengthened
each summer as over 600 children participate in a memorable
camping experience. The Four Pillars of camp are
: creative arts, sailing, aboriginal and outdoor education.

to learn about themselves and others and promote acceptance
among participants. We hope you will join us this summer
on Kitchi sands for the experience of a lifetime.

Campers feel secure that they are with people who
sincerely care and truly listen

of trained leadership. Through outdoor skills and activities
we encourage challenge, fun and a healthy lifestyle. In
keeping with the YMCA philosophy, we will develop the
spirit, mind and body of persons in a way that both recognizes
