Kinap Athletic Club is a non-profit recreational organization located in a secluded cove on Porters Lake in Nova Scotia.
Our club offers a summer day camp for children aged 5-12 years old, facility rentals as well as community run programs.
In addition, through a long history of partnership with Halifax Regional Municipality, Kinap is enhanced with swimming lessons and a lifeguarded public beach, making us the perfect family recreational facility!
Our Summer Day Camp
Kinap Athletic Club day camp operates from 7:15 AM to 5 PM, 5 days a week, Monday-Friday, July – August annually. Daily schedule and activities are planned yearly by a Head Camp Counsellor with staff involvement. We offer access to morning and afternoon camp programming, which provides supervision and a selection of engaging activities in and out of the water.
Operating a summer program is a TEAM effort. Head Camp Counsellors, Jr. Head Camp Counsellors, Paddling Coach(s), Counsellors with assistance from volunteers and members of the Kinap Board work together to produce a safe and fun experience where campers feel accepted, successful and energized. This team effort is strongly supported by the coordinating efforts of ALL to produce an OUTSTANDING summer camp.
