Camp Kahuna 2025 was Fantastic and 2026 will be Incredible

 

What a Summer! A Look Back at an Incredible 2025 Season and Forward to 2026

 

We had an absolutely unforgettable summer! With almost 2,000 campers at our day and sleep-away locations, the energy was at an all-time high. It was a true honour to welcome campers from all over the world, including Japan, Ukraine, Russia, and the UK, and to share stories and create adventures together.

​

This summer was a hot one, but we made the most of every sunny day. We hosted two sleep-away camps and nine day camps across our Sidrabene and Nemo locations. At Nemo, we found a fantastic new entry point to Bronte Creek, adding to our creek adventures, swimming, and hunting for creek creatures. We also introduced exciting new activities like bubble soccer and laser tag, and our sleep-away campers got to test their skills with Gel-ball.

​

Even with renovations happening at the Sidrabene dining hall, our incredible staff, especially David, worked tirelessly to ensure everything ran smoothly. A huge undertaking like summer camp is only possible with a truly dedicated team.

​

We want to extend a massive thank you to our amazing campers, our incredible Extreme Team, our hard-working staff, and all of our parents. Our Kahuna family truly is the best. We can't wait to see what next summer holds!

A New Chapter for Camp Kahuna

​

I'm excited to share that I took over ownership of Camp Kahuna at the beginning of last summer. Scott Graham, the visionary founder of Kids 4 Kids and Camp Kahuna, wanted to ensure his passion for inspiring leadership in children would continue for decades to come. Scott remains deeply involved in camp, focusing on leadership development, instruction, and administration. My role now centers on overall camp and staff management, as well as parent communication.

​

Joe McNamara continues to serve as our dedicated Program Director, and Darcy Riesberry remains our Camp Director at our Mt. Nemo location. This summer, Darcy will also be lending his expertise to our Extreme Team Program, working alongside our new Extreme Team Advisor, Tejay Morley.

​

We can't wait to welcome your children for another unforgettable summer!
