Kodiak campers range in age from 6 - 18 and include children & teens with and without Learning Disabilities, ADHD, and high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder. They come from Canada, the U.S.A. and around the world.

Two primary reasons for our success are the quality of our staff and our 2:1 camper-to-staff ratio. Our cabins typically have 9 campers with three counsellors per cabin, but around camp, the ratio is 2:1. One counsellor in each cabin is a person who is professionally trained to work with children and youth, for example a teacher, social worker, child and youth care worker or recreation specialist. The other two cabin counsellors are university and college students or recent graduates.

This takes place right after breakfast, from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM, Monday to Friday. Parents are asked to choose one of the two following options for their camper:

Campers receive individual and small-group academic tutoring. The program is coordinated with the camper’s school, and instruction is tailored to meet individual academic needs. Each camper’s program is developed and implemented by experienced and qualified professionals under the supervision of the Academic Director, Shari Stoch, M.Ed.

Our L.I.T.s take part in all of the camp activities and receive training in various areas depending on their abilities and interests. Some receive instruction in basic concepts of child development, camper management, and teaching methods & theory. They spend part of their day working with younger campers or assisting in a specialty area under the supervision of a staff member.

For others, our L.I.T. program is more work-oriented, and is designed to meet the needs of teens who are better suited to vocational experiences. These L.I.T.s receive job training, and with supervision, assume responsibilities such as meal serving, helping with the running of the camp store, and assisting with some of the office routines.

At the end of the camper’s session, a letter is sent home that outlines their involvement in the number and scope of placements. These letters may be submitted to schools to count towards volunteer community service requirements. The L.I.T. program is NOT a counsellor training program, but a flexible program designed to develop the individual’s leadership skills. L.I.T.s are still part of our camper ratio, and are provided all of the support that other campers receive.
