The Facility
 The facilities at Camp Kirk are truly second to none. They include, amongst other things, an awesome swimming pool equipped with a diving board and a slide, two 40' (foot) climbing walls complete with overhangs and a basketball court. Periodically, canoe trips are sent to Algonquin Park, the Leslie Frost Centre and other wilderness areas of Ontario.With all activities, staff supervision is always mandatory. Recognizing that the occasional minor cuts and bruises can sometimes be a part of active living at camp, our infirmary is well equipped to handle first aid care. Our first aider is responsible for the management and the dispensing of all medications. The village of Kirkfield (a 5 minute drive from the camp) has a medical clinic and, should additional medical care be necessary and we are only 20 minutes away from the Ross Memorial Hospital in Lindsay.

 Fun and activities is of greatest importance for your child at Camp Kirk. Here, we discover and nurture your child's talents and abilities and we do it at his/her own pace, through our adventure-based programming and through a daily routine of activities. A mixture of both hands-on and physical activities will strongly benefit children with learning disabilities and particularly those with AD(H)D. Exercise helps in the production of natural brain chemicals, leaving children more focused.In addition, activities that promote strong self-control help children develop mental readiness. With well coached activities such as MARTIAL ARTS, SWIMMING, ARCHERY, ECOLOGY, CAMP CRAFTS, ROCK CLIMBING WALLS and CHALLENGE ROPES COURSES, they develop self-discipline and, in doing so, curtail impatience and impulsivity. Some campers prefer to express themselves creatively through DRAMA, CERAMICS. ARTS & CRAFTS and SING SONGS. Typical Camp Kirk Daily Schedule
