Campers

Information for Campers

Camp Kivita is proud to be in its twelfth year of operation in 2020. Each summer at Camp Kivita has been truly magical. Every summer incredible new memories are created, and friendships are celebrated. We are so thankful that you share in our “home away from home” and are part of our growing Camp Kivita family.

Our Program

Camp Kivita, through its partnership with Camp Wenonah offers a wide array of activities at Camp Wenonah taught by full-time, qualified instructors. Counselors travel with their campers to all activities to ensure that they participate with friends, have fun and experience the thrill of achievement. Campers are strongly encouraged to participate in all activities. We know that some campers, especially younger ones may shy away from trying new activities, but by placement of regular cabin mates, guided by their counselors and by using qualified instructors ready to encourage and teach them, children are primed to learn new skills and interests, and have new experiences that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. Free time during each day with program options allow children to spend more time and pursue those activities that they most enjoy and want to further develop skills.
