Camp Life and Activities – Kildonan Services

Camp Life & Activities

Kildonan’s Camp Dunnabeck is both a boarding and day camp. Campers who board stay in modern dormitories and enjoy weekend activities and excursions. Day campers are dropped off in the morning and join us for a half-day or full-day, including tutoring, study hall, and activities (see sample schedule). Our six-week camp has a break after three weeks, where campers host their families for Family Day on the third Saturday of camp. Family members can view camper projects and activities and join us for lunch!

Female Campers – Girls’ Dorm

The Girls’ Dorm is a dormitory-style residence with lounge areas for relaxing, socializing, playing music, and studying. Girls are grouped by age and share a room with another roommate. Separate shared bathroom facilities provide private showers with a dressing room.

Male Campers – Boys’ Dorm

The Boy’s Dorm is a dormitory-style residence with lounge areas for relaxing, socializing, playing music, and studying. Boys are grouped by age and share a room with another roommate. Separate shared bathroom facilities provide private showers with a dressing room.

The “Magic of Dunnabeck” is available to day campers, too. Though their day at camp ends earlier than boarding campers, day campers participate fully in all daily activities, including any offsite trips that take place during the day, and they are encouraged to join us for our weekly Friday BBQ. Furthermore, if space allows, day campers are welcome to join us for weekend trips. An additional fee is required to cover the cost of the trip. Other than family pick-up at the end of the day, there is no distinction between boarding and day campers.
