About our camp
Trips play a huge role in this camp’s philosophy, teaching campers not only to appreciate nature, support one another, set and achieve goals, take care of themselves and their equipment, but also learn and practice the “Leave No Trace” principle. Trips at Kieve may last from 2-3 days up to 22 days of canoeing, hiking and backpacking. Qualified staff members always accompany campers during the trips and provide necessary guidance throughout the whole process.
In this boy-only camp, the staff puts emphasis on personal growth and cooperation, as they believe boys have enough competition outside of camp. The camp’s full, 26-day session is designed for 8-16 years old, and the 10-day program, called Junior Kieve, for 2nd-4th graders.
Staff at Kieve takes care not only for the physical health of each camper, but also their emotional well-being. Counselors are always available to discuss any issues and provide necessary guidance and supervision to make sure boys are in a supportive and positive atmosphere, free of any kind of abuse or neglect.
Camp programs & activities
Boys at Kieve Camp are encouraged to improve their skills in their favorite activities as well as try new ones. The list they can choose from is quite extensive: swimming, canoeing, aqua zip, windsurfing, climbing walls, volleyball, basketball, ultimate frisbee, soccer, tennis, street hockey, art, woodworking, photography, printing, nature studies, etc.
Before noon, staff and campers take part in an informal religious service which is non-denominational, comprised of music and words from various traditions.
