Senior Camp (Ages 13-15)

Combining activities specifically designed for older campers with traditional Kitaki favorites, Senior Camp is the best of all worlds for the 13-15 year old. Clubs are replaced with adventures at our challenge course, climbing tower, high ropes and more. This one-week experience builds self-confidence and character, teaches independence and interdependence, develops leadership skills, and presents new and stimulating challenges. Senior Camp is for the camper ready for the next step in their experience at Camp Kitaki.

Niobrara Canoe Camp (Ages 13-17)

Join a small group of new friends for a wet and wild adventure on the beautiful Niobrara River near Valentine. Challenge yourself by tent camping, cooking over an open fire, and learning outdoor leadership skills. Highlights include a visit to beautiful Smith Falls. Two and a half days will be spent preparing and conditioning for the two-day river trip. This is for the adventuresome teen!

Leadership Camp (Ages 14-17)

Camp Kitaki has more then 50 years experience in leadership development. During the first week of Leadership Camp, teens learn the importance of leadership style, respect for others, and communication though a balance of experiences and activities. Following a one-day break at home, they venture to northern Minnesota to rustic Camp Cut Foot Sioux for the group's second week of personal growth and leadership development.
