At Kandalore 

When campers arrive, they will be shown to the cabin that they will share with campers around the same age. In the PJ and Inter sections, 8 – 10 people live within cabins together with 2 counselors, and Senior campers live in 4 person cabins with counselors adjacent. All the cabins have bunkbeds and cubbies for storage. International Campers will be provided with sleeping bags, pillow, canoe paddle and life jacket from the Camp Kandalore team upon arrival as part of their international package. 

At Camp, every meal (with the exception to a handful of special meals and while on canoe trip) will be eaten with the campers’ cabin mates and counsellor(s) within the Dining Hall. Kitchen staff work to make delicious camp-style meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert each day. Allergies and dietary restrictions should be noted at the time of registration. No outside food can be brought or sent to camp to ensure all campers’ food allergies are respected, as well as to minimize any small animals entering the cabins at Kandalore.

At Appleby 

Appleby Summer Program Participants reside on campus in one of our four air-conditioned student boarding houses.  Students stay in double-occupancy rooms separated by gender. Roommates are carefully selected so that each student shares a room with a student of a similar age who is from a different language group. Each boarding house offers multiple common rooms, providing a casual and comfortable social space to hang out with friends, play games such as pool or table tennis, and study. Linens and self-service laundry facilities are provided, and wi-fi is available throughout our campus.

Three nutritious buffet-style hot meals are served daily in our beautiful lake-view dining hall, centrally located on campus. All foods are prepared on-site by Appleby’s excellent year-round catering team. Fruits and snacks are provided daily. All dietary restrictions and allergies can be accommodated, with the exception of Kosher.

At Kandalore 

At Kandalore, we are proud to offer an incredible canoe tripping program. Each camper will get the opportunity to go on one of our amazing trips led by our experience and knowledgeable trip staff. Within the first two days of camp, campers will find out what trip they will be on and where they will be going.

The schedule on trip is different from the schedule in camp. The trip schedule changes depending on group dynamics, weather, trip length, and age.

Daily tasks on trip can include:

• Building a fire
• Map reading
• Nature hikes
• Portaging
• S’Mores

No matter what trip campers take part in, they experience a wonderful adventure and get to challenge themselves through learning new skills in the beautiful outdoors.
