Camp Kanata helps youth, teens and young people become the best version of themselves. We are an inclusive and welcoming place dedicated to serving families and campers from diverse cultures, races, backgrounds, faiths and perspectives from across the country and around the world.
At Camp Kanata, we do what is right. We treat others the way that we would like to be treated and we work hard to make everyone feel welcome and safe. We live by our core values by caring for others, speaking honestly, showing respect, being responsible, practicing faith and valuing family. Each camper is a critical part of creating a place where people feel welcomed, valued and safe.
As a branch of the YMCA of the Triangle, Camp Kanata shares the YMCA’s Mission: To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
To fulfill our Mission and purpose, the YMCA of the Triangle is committed to being a multicultural, nondiscriminatory and inclusive organization fully leveraging our collective resources and impact to positively affect the health and well-being of our community.
In that, Christian principles are caring and inclusive, we respect various expressions of religion. We serve people from all faith traditions and perspectives. And we strive to create a welcoming environment for people to feel comfortable to explore spiritual matters and grow in Christian faith if they choose.
Code of Conduct
Living in a community is a great opportunity for our campers to grow their interpersonal skills, leadership, independence, and confidence. Maintaining a safe and healthy environment is crucial for this growth. We are committed to building a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone where we treat one another with respect and dignity. The Code of Conduct is reviewed and discussed in each cabin and each camper signs the form as they commit to doing what is right during their time at Camp.
