Do you have a waterfront or Pool?
Camp Kee-Mo-Kee is located in a Carolinian Forest and has no access to a lake or river. Komoka Creek borders the property to the east and campers visit the creek for nature exploration, but it is not suitable for swimming or boating.
We have a large, outdoor swimming pool that operates for our summer camp programs in July and August.
What is the camp property like?
Our camp is nestled in 20 acres of Environmentally protected Carolinian Forest. The 8 camper sleeping cabins can accommodate 110 people in bunk beds. There are 2 additional staff cabins, Camp Office, Dining Hall, Craft Lodge, Kitchen, Pool, Outdoor Spaces, Breezeway, Washrooms, Campfire Circle, and Basketball Court. The buildings are rustic, cedar sided and not climate controlled.
A map of the camp can be found here.
What about washrooms and showers?
Each cabin cluster (the Uppers & Lowers) has a KYBO close by. These buildings contain 3 fully enclosed and private washrooms containing sinks and toilets, along with a long outdoor sink for all to share. Staff always supervise campers when at the washrooms. Washrooms are all gender, with campers being able to maintain the level of privacy for hygiene and changing they are comfortable with.
The UFO is the camp utility building and houses a private, fully accessible washroom with shower and change table, an all gender washroom with stalled toilets and open sinks and a shower room containing 9 curtained shower stalls.
Your camper WILL get dirty at camp. They spend their days outdoors and our terrain is sandy. Campers have opportunity to shower every day; it is up to them how often they do so. Counsellors ensure campers shower at least once during their stay at camp. Campers go to the shower with their cabin mates and shower in their bathing suits. If needed, campers can ask to use a private shower.
Why is the laneway so narrow?
Camp Kee-Mo-Kee is located in an environmentally protected Carolinian Forest. We are restricted from cutting down trees, paving areas or anything that would increase our ‘footprint’ in the forest.
The laneway cannot be expanded to facilitate two way traffic. Please remember to drive slowly, obey signs, follow instructions of staff, use wider sections to pull over, and allow others to pass. We appreciate your patience and cooperation in keeping everyone safe as they enter and exit the property.
Each spring, we resurface the gravel laneway and try to fill the potholes as they surface throughout the summer.
Can I bring my dog?
No. Please do not bring your pet to camp, this includes during camper drop-off and pick up. Dogs and other animals are NOT PERMITTED on site, except for service animals. This is part of ensuring the camp is welcoming to everyone. Some campers are not comfortable around animals or may have allergies.
Where will my camper sleep?
Campers sleep in bunk beds in one of our dormitory-style camper cabins. The cabins are simple, rustic cedar structures with windows and a door at either end. Some of the cabins have ramps for increased accessibility. Washrooms are in a separate building close by.
There are usually 10-12 camper per cabin, with 2 counsellors caring for them. The counsellors, and sometimes another staff person, sleep in the cabins with campers.
We supply mattresses for all bunks and ask campers to bring their own bedding, pillows, and containers for their personal items.
