How long has Kandalore been in business?
Kandalore has been operating continuously as a summer camp since 1947. Established originally as a boys' camp, Kandalore has been coeducational since 1992.

Where do you get your staff?
Many of our staff have 'come up through the ranks' from camper through Leader-In-Training to staff. As well, we generally have a staff return rate in excess of 75 percent. When we do hire a staff member who has not been to Kandalore before, we ensure that they have the necessary qualifications to instruct the activities they will be teaching and most importantly, a desire to work and care for our campers. All of our counsellors must submit to police background checks before they are hired.

Where are your campers from?
Kandalore is very fortunate to have a wide diversity of campers from all over the world! While approximately 85 percent of our children are from Ontario, we have campers come from over 15 different countries including USA, Mexico, Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland and more! We offer direct transportation from Toronto's Pearson International Airport to camp for campers arriving from abroad.

Are you accredited by the Ontario Camping Association?
Yes, Kandalore meets or exceeds all standards set by the OCA, these standards cover all aspects of the camp including: staffing, health, waterfront safety and more.

Is that the only body governing camping?
No, Kandalore must also adhere to guidelines established by several government agencies including the Ministry of Health.
