"At Camp Kitsu, our activities [include] canoeing, fishing archery, football, ultimate Frisbee...anything that will make [the kids] get in the sun and sweat a little bit," Camp Kitsu Director Nolan said. "The benefit of coming to Camp Kitsu is that they get to socialize with other kids instead of being cooped up inside playing PlayStation or Xbox. We get to be outdoors on this lake...just having a great time in the summer and the sun."

In addition, each week campers will spend time partaking in activities such as nature crafts, building forts, learning about conservation, swimming, playing games and going on exciting field trips. Each of the nine weeks of camp has a title that hints at the week's activities.
