Alumni
Alumni tell us that their experiences at Camp are often the ones they remember most in life. For some, camp is a life altering experience, from teaching life skills to fostering a sense of belonging and community.
Get involved
If you are an alumnus of Camp Kawartha and want to stay involved, there are a number of ways you can help.
Here’s how:
If it is not already current, please update your contact information so we can keep you informed.
Please plan to attend our Alumni Reunion held every second year in May. Earlier reunions have featured an evening campfire with singing, storytelling and reminiscing. Staff representing 15 different years have attended along with current staff. All partners and children are welcome.
Send us your stories and your photos so we can share them with others.
Be sure to join the mailing list for the Zingette, the Camp Kawartha Alumni Newsletter.
We actively welcome your involvement as volunteers. If you have any experience in carpentry, electrical work, welding, fiberglass, hold an F Class driver’s license or any other skill that might assist the camp, we would love to hear from you. Please contact us at (705) 652-3860; or toll-free at 1-866-532-4597.
Of course, we would welcome your support as a Camp Kawartha donor. There are many ways to contribute, and each of them is gratefully appreciated.
