Who are you as an organization?
Kandalore is one of the finest overnight camps in Canada, providing the best of both canoe tripping and in-camp activities. For more than 75 years, Kandalore has given campers (6-16 years of age) the chance to get to know and be themselves. We've created a warm and supportive family environment where kids can express their individuality, grow in self-confidence and build lifelong friendships. Camper Sessions are 1, 2, and 4 weeks long. Leadership programs for 16 & 17 year olds are 1 or 2 months long.

Founded more than 70 years ago, the Kandalore program is firmly based in the traditions of camping in Canada, as well as the traditions unique to the camp. All-camp campfires bookend the camper experience, including the Chapter Fire, a signature event held at the end of each month. There’s a lot of whimsy, too, such as the regatta, a day-long program held each session. Those things, and many more, contribute to a camp culture that is vibrant, active, inclusive, and fun. There are some very nice cross-generational programs, including Fairy Night, when senior girls dress up and visit the youngest campers to surprise them with a girls-only campfire. It’s as charming as it is affective. Leadership seeks to provide appropriate challenges, including canoe trips, as a cornerstone of the program, through which campers can build confidence in themselves and in their ability to work with others toward a common goal.

Camp Kandalore helps kids know and be themselves while thriving in an outdoor environment that is fun, caring, and challenges campers to grow. Our camp experience provides an opportunity to build self-esteem, independence, care and respect for others. Our parents see great value in the social and emotional growth that our campers return home with at the end of their camp stay.
Our incredible staff love helping our campers develop their skills over the course of the summer. The campers find so much pride when finally accomplishing a skill they have been working so hard to achieve. Whether they hit their first bullseye in archery, mastered their J stroke at canoeing, completed their first deep water roll in kayaking or learned how to get up on waterskis – each day brings new challenges and new accomplishments.
