Why Campers Love Us
It’s hard to put into words why campers love KODA Camp. Maybe it’s the tradition of waking up to the camp exercises every morning or sleeping out under the stars. Perhaps it’s the comfort of having a family-like atmosphere. For 18 years children have called KODA Camp their ‘home away from home.’

We are a traditional camp in every sense of the word. Our program is structured with activities like team building, arts and crafts, outdoors, swimming, KODA studies, and the campers know what is scheduled, every day, every hour. Knowing exactly what to expect makes a child feel safe and secure. And safe is good. That predictability, and associated comfort that comes along with it, is why children treasure traditions at KODA Camp.

Why Parents Love Us
Parents love that KODA Camp for quality programs, safety standards and more! You can rest assured our camp meets the highest standards in the industry. But what about your child’s emotional safety at camp? Parents tend to be concerned about their child fitting in at camp and being well adjusted. Any pranks, harassment, mean-spirited teasing, bullying or any other practice that would harm a child’s emotional well-being at camp are not allowed.

Our Staff Training
Selecting staff is one thing. Training them is another. Our week-long mandatory staff training is intense. We cover everything from leadership development skills to health and safety issues to how to handle homesickness, and manage personality conflicts. We role play, rehearse emergency drills, and review every policy and procedure. We use teaching tools from top camp industry experts to ensure our counselors are ready for any situation. And we preach the importance of safety, both physically and emotionally!
