A day at camp

A Day at Camp

See what a day at Camp Kahuna looks like, from swimming and creek adventures to camp-wide games, theme days and the traditions that make every day different.

Made for the Outdoors

At Camp Kahuna, most of the day is spent outside. Campers swim, explore Bronte Creek, build dams, hunt for crayfish, ride the rapids and rotate through activities with their group. Many days finish the way a great camp day should, gathered together around the campfire.

Our outdoor day camp is meant to get a little messy, so expect wet clothes, muddy shoes and a camper who comes home tired from a full day of adventure.

He absolutely loves it and looks forward to it every summer. It’s such a true camp experience with amazing leaders, tons of games, great friendships and such a fun, friendly atmosphere. Everything is so well organized, and you can tell the staff really care about the kids. His younger brother has been dying to go but has been too young, so hopefully next summer will finally be his turn! Kahuna has become such a special part of our summers, and we’ll keep coming back for as long as we can!

From running around and swimming to playing in the creek, there’s truly something for everyone. The counselors are kind, caring, and fun, and they have made a genuine effort to get to know my kids and their individual interests. As a parent, I cannot recommend this camp enough. It’s the perfect place for kids to be kids, build friendships, and create lasting memories while learning important lessons to help guide them through life. While camp may be over for the summer my kids have yet to stop reminiscing about their time at Kahuna this summer!!

Connor & Scott, and all the staff make this an awesome experience for the kids. The leadership lessons and fun activities mean my kids come home truly happy every day.  I trust kahuna with my kids, the regular communication is great and the staff are available to talk to.  We have done both locations of day camp, sleep over and now my older son is in their extreme team. Can’t say enough good things.

My daughters have been going to Camp Kahuna for the past ten years and are now on the Extreme Team and hope to one day become counselors - they've had the best experiences and have loved it so much! Conor, Scott and everyone else make the camp so welcoming and fun for all kids! Highly recommend!!

She loved being outside, playing in Bronte Creek and playing games with the kids and wonderful camp counselors. She has already asked if she can go for 2 weeks next summer instead of 1!
