Our son has been attending Kettleby Valley summer camp for two years now, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. This camp is exceptional in every way. The staff is incredibly caring and attentive, ensuring each child feels welcome and engaged. The activities are diverse and well-organized, offering something for every interest. Our son usually stays for two weeks overnight other 6 weeks, day camp, and he always comes home with stories of new adventures, friendships, and skills he has gained. The camp’s environment is both safe and nurturing, allowing the kids to explore and grow with confidence. We highly recommend Kettleby Valley to any parent looking for a top-notch summer camp experience. This camp truly stands out for its quality and dedication to creating unforgettable memories for the kids.

My kids were in Kettleby Valley Camp for the first time this summer for 2 weeks and they loved it. Everything was perfect, the activities, the staff, the bedrooms and the place in the forest. Thanks you so much Ketteleby Valley Camp.

"My daughter was so excited after spending her first week at Kettleby Valley Camp that she immediately asked about staying for a second week as soon as I picked her up. It was her first time at an overnight camp, and she absolutely loved it! There were so many different activities, and the counselors were amazing—kind, responsive, and many of them had spent their own childhood summers at the camp. The food was fantastic, even for my picky eater—it was homemade and delicious. Yes, they only had showers twice in five nights, but the kids had shower daily before and after the swimming in the pool. There were so many songs, games, and fun moments. Thank you, Peter, and your incredible team!"

So glad Kettleby Camp is still thriving. I went there three summers in a row in the late 60s when it was known as Camp Richhilldaca. Our counselors were wonderful people, and I learned to love and respect nature rather than fear it. Kettleby camp was one of the very best experiences of my young life and one which I cherish now into my late 60s. I highly recommend it!

Our son has gone to Kettleby every summer since he was 7 ~ it’s been 7 summers so far. This camp is an absolute gem and we are so thrilled to have such a high quality camp so close to home. Each year our son comes home with new stories, new friends and having had great experiences which will provide memories for a lifetime. The day camp and overnight camp are run very well. Food is “awesome “ according to our son (they have the world’s best chicken burger according to him!). The staff are excellent and I believe that stems from the steady and humble ownership and filters down every level even to the trainees. Our son (who already has the LIT qualifications) has the opportunity for a paid position this summer but instead wants to go back to do the LIT program at Kettleby as he’s always looked up to the leaders there and wants to be a part of that culture. Bravo Kettleby! We can’t recommend you highly enough.
