Overnight Camp
DISCOVERY
Looking for some adventure this summer? Then Discovery Camp is perfect for you! A fun filled week of exploration, cabin bonding, and sunny days on the shores of Lake Huron. Create memories everywhere – whether you’re soaring the skies at our High Challenge Course or creating the perfect craft to bring home. End each day with a campfire before going back to your cabin to rest.
OUTDOOR ADVENTURE
Our other overnight camp program is Outdoor Adventure! This camp is perfect for campers who love the outdoors! Outdoor Adventure Camp offers the chance to have fun while learning new outdoor skills. Part of the excitement is having 2 of their 3 daily meals outside at their campfire with fellow campers and staff! One meal is takeout from the dining hall and enjoyed at the outdoor adventure unit area, one meal is cooked at the campfire at their unit area, and one meal is eaten at the MacDonald Lodge dining hall. From shelter-building to nature hikes and participating in classic camp activities such as archery and kayaking – your camper is sure to enjoy their week at camp!
Overnight camps run from Sunday afternoon to Friday afternoon. Register today for an unforgettable week at Kintail!
Sprouts & Try-Out Camp
This three day camp is a wonderful introduction to camp life. Campers fill their days with crafts, nature activities, swimming, games, Bible stories, and campfire songs. Each child is busy all day long and goes to bed happy and tired. This is a ‘Try-Out” camp, meaning that we introduce campers to a shortened version of the camp week. Campers will attempt as many of the camp activities as the schedule permits within their two full days at camp. Drop off and pick-up for this camp will be specified closer to the date.
Volunteers Of Kintail (VOK)
Work towards your academic volunteer service hours while still creating fun summer memories with us at Camp Kintail! While some of the day is dedicated to work projects – such as site maintenance on the hiking trail or adding new stones along a pathway to help with erosion, the other portion of the day is spent in classic camp activities such as high ropes and waterfront! These camps run from Sunday afternoon to Friday afternoon. What’s the best part? These volunteer weeks offer participants the chance to receive 20 service hours, help improve the site, all while still participating in classic camp activities. Who said you can’t have fun while you work?
Family Camp
Come and enjoy the fun, fellowship, great food, and special events that make Family Camp a great holiday for the whole family! Staff offer traditional camp activity programming for the children, special sessions for the adults, and family activities. Families are welcome to participate in as much or as little as they wish. Come be a part of this great Kintail tradition!
In the mornings, Camp Kintail’s staff lead the children in a variety of camp activities including watercraft, high challenge course, arts & crafts, FLASH, and more! During this time, adults are welcome to attend adult only sessions. In the afternoon, activities are offered for the whole family to enjoy together. During the evenings we offer exclusive adult time in the lodge while our staff will be available to look after your campers. On Sunday morning, we worship together in the beautiful outdoor Chapel. On Sunday evening, the famous “Kintail Players” talent show is a highlight of the weekend; come with an act in mind or a performance to share with the rest of camp. Your family will receive an email before camp starts to share what this year’s theme will be so that you can bring dress up clothes. We hope to have your family join in the fun at camp this summer!
Pre- LIT
Pre-LITs will gain valuable skills relating to leadership at home, school, and in the community as well as ORCKA certification in flat-water canoeing. They will also learn about teamwork through games, initiatives, and activities. FLASH is a time of exploration of leaders from the Bible. This is sure to be an epic week of fun, friendship, and fostering new confidence and skills.
Leader In Training (LIT)
Leaders in Training (LITs) spend two weeks at Kintail during the summer, living in community and developing essential leadership skills. While in the program, LITs stay in the Nest and work closely with their LIT Resources Counsellors. The program focuses on leadership, communication, creative counseling, and more, with plenty of adventures and opportunities to make lasting memories.
After completing the two-week program, LITs have the option to return to camp for additional in-cabin weeks. During these in-cabin weeks, LITs practice what they’ve learned, gaining hands-on experience as they work alongside the Kintail staff. If an LIT is participating in the next week's cabin session, they can stay through the weekend. If not, they must go home at the end of their current session.
While participating in their in-cabin weeks, LITs will have the chance to engage in check-ins and sessions with other LITs. They will also lead a FLASH (Faith, Learning, and Sharing) session, run a campfire, prepare morning chapel, lead a morning activity, and assist the cabin counselors. In-cabin weeks will be determined in person by discussing desired return dates with the LIT RC. There is no need to coordinate desired in-cabin weeks in advance or during the registration process.

Have a camper who is 9 turning 10? Or 4 turning 5? Here's what to know.Campers who are 9 turning 10 can choose between the Jr. programs (7-10) or the Int. programs (10-14). Cabins are sorted by age to the best of our abilities, but depending on the registrations that week they may be in a cabin with children who are older or younger than them. You know your camper best and we leave it to you to decide which age/ session is best for them! The software will allow you to register for either Jr. or Int. programs. If your camper is coming with a friend, be extra careful to enroll in the same session! Children who are 4 turning 5 may register for our Day Camp program if they have completed a full year of kindergarten, need no assistance in the washroom, and can change for the beach by themselves. We do not recommend children who are 4 turning 5 enroll for our overnight Sprouts program. The software will allow you to register for Day Camp.
