Our Kodiak Story – A Video

Camp Kodiak’s story started long before our first summer. It started with my father’s personal experiences with school failure and then his quest to help students like him in the classroom.

To find out more about our philosophy and what makes us so special, watch our full-length camp video here.


Some things to keep an eye out for as you watch the video:
At 2:40 there is a look inside one of our cabins.
At 3:38 and at 6:49 some staff members talk about what Camp Kodiak means to them.
At 13:21 you can find out a bit about our academic program.
At 15:08 parents talk about their experiences with Camp Kodiak and what it has done for their children.
At 24:38 campers themselves are talking about what they feel they get out of the Camp Kodiak experience.
