- LEADERSHIP TRAINING CAMP (ages 14-17) July 1-5 (Cost: Tier 1 $360; Tier 2 $275) Capacity: 30 campers.
Counsellors-in-Training (CITs) are MacKenzie’s junior leaders. This mandatory training week is a chance to develop leadership skills, plan activities, and learn the basics for working at MacKenzie (including climbing wall certification) while enjoying everything that camp has to offer. At the end of the week, all campers are interviewed and their skills assessed. Depending on availability and camp needs, they may be asked to volunteer in the summer in return for an honorarium. Check-in 9 am on July 1, departure 2-3 pm on July 5. - INTERMEDIATE CAMP (ages 10-13) July 8-12 (Cost: Tier 1 $450; Tier 2 $360) Capacity: 30 campers.
What a great way to start off the summer: good time, good friends, and good food. Leave the apps at home – you won’t be needing them! Instead, there’s canoeing, climbing wall, the low ropes challenge, swimming, plus crafts, field games, and hikes.

With ardent angler Hati Mvundura learn the where’s, why’s, and how’s of fly fishing. Learn to think like a fish, cast a line – and get plenty of hands-on practice.
