As a YMCA-affiliated camp and accredited member of the Ontario Camping Association, RKY Camp meets or exceeds the stringent safety standards set by both organizations.

 

Our staff are trained to ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone. Whether campers are on the waterfront or on the climbing wall; campers are supervised by staff, 24 hours a day.
