Kamp Kiwanis is aimed at providing fun, physical exercise and adventure. It strives to afford opportunities to participate in a creative outdoor group experience in a democratic setting and develop characteristics of leadership and fair play.

The program at Kamp Kiwanis is designed to mainstream all children, including up to 20 each session with special needs. It is non-competitive with emphasis on group and team building. No activity is forced, but all are encouraged. We provide the same program for high-functioning adults with special needs with a higher ratio of care.

Conduct inventory of supplies and place orders when necessary, ensuring timely arrival of supplies. Participate in specific areas of staff training pertaining to health and safety, such as basic first aid and the use of universal precautions for infection control.
