Can I do every activity?

Yes, there are a couple activities that require specific swimming levels for safety reasons, once you have achieved those qualifications, you can choose whatever activity you would like and go during any period of the day. Most of our activities have different levels that you can work on to get a badge if you choose. Our flexible activity program gives you the choice to attend different activities, on different days.

Do I have to sign up for activities?

You do not need to sign up for the majority of camp activities. Mi-A-Kon-Da believes in letting you choose what activities interest you. There are certain activities that require signing up, which allows for the activity to be run in small groups. Announcements will be made each morning to let you know if you need to sign up for these activities.

What if I don't know how to do the activities?

No worries! All of our activities involve instruction for every level before participating and no matter what level you're at, someone will be there to help you.

Do we do any activities as a whole camp?

Yes, some of the evening programs involve everyone coming together. These games and events are awesome! The Program Director and counselors come up with creative ideas that involves everyone.

What are Driftwood, Center and Senior?

Driftwood, Center and Senior are the names of the sections that campers live in. What section you live in is based on your age, so your neighbours are friends your own age! As you get older, campers move from Driftwood Section, where the youngest campers live, to Center Section, and then Senior Section, where the oldest campers live.

If I come to camp with a friend, can I stay with them?

We'll do our best! If you would like to be in a cabin group with a friend, please mark it down on your camper information sheet for tent request and we will take note of your request when putting together the groups. We try our best to accommodate campers but please limit your requests to one or two friends. If you have friends at camp that are not in your section, don't worry, there's plenty of time to visit them while at camp.

Is there anything special I should bring to camp?

If you bring what is on the packing list you will be all set. We have a costume cupboard at camp that can be used for special days. Please leave valuables at home, we wouldn't want them to get lost or broken.

Do I get any free time?

Yes, there are pockets of free time throughout the day, usually before or after meals. As well, there's a rest hour after lunch.

Is the food good?

The food at Mi-A-Kon-Da is awesome! There's always something for everyone so make room for seconds! All food is prepared fresh for each meal with a selection of main course, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Each meal is balanced and made with children in mind.

Will I have fun at Mi-A-Kon-Da?

ABSOLUTELY! Mi-A-Kon-Da is a great place to meet new friends, try new things and learn new skills. Be prepared for lots of exciting activities and adventures! We can't wait to meet you!
