With Our Team

Having a great day camp counsellor makes all the difference. Many of our staff have grown up at Kettleby Valley and know first had what it’s like to be a new camper here.

KVC staff understand how to make everyone feel welcome and important. Making connections with each child is a skill we focus on during our mandatory staff training sessions prior to the beginning of the season. You are also taught how to maintain control over your group without sacrificing the fun and enjoyment of the experience.

We Get That

 This is what our families think about their experience at KVC.

“The entire staff from Camp Director to Day Camp Staff give 100% to each child in day programs. There each morning to personally greet children he knows how to make their day an outdoor adventure. The camp property is over 50 acres, and well maintained. Beautiful and safe natural surroundings for children to explore. Kids can’t stop talking about the fun they have at camp.”

“I have been sending my daughter to Kettleby for the past 4 years and she absolutely loves the camp! She met allot of really nice kids and looks forward to going each summer. I appreciate the transportation option provided by the camp. She continues to love every camp counselor that she gets, kudos to the staff and management.”

“Before I went to Kettleby for the first time this summer, I didn’t understand why my friends thought of sleepaway camp as their second home. I never thought that I would take part in so many amazing experiences, and meet even more amazing people. Overall Kettleby was an amazing experience for me and I look forwards to coming back next year and seeing all the staff and friends I made this year again.”
