The Campus Map
A note in 2026 from the Camp Kenosee Staff:
“We are a bunch of grandmas and volunteers who make home-made and from-scratch tasty meals.
While we can accommodate some special eating situations, we are do not have medically trained folk on staff. If you have a serious or life-threatening allergy, we feel it is in your best interest to provide your own food.
The meals are buffet, and we can suggest work-arounds if you do not eat, for example, pork.
With our expertise, we feel that we can safely accommodate these situations:
- vegetarian options
- dairy free
- gluten free, but this year we will need to charge an additional $20 to offset the expense of the special items.
Thanks for understanding.

At the Kitchen Party 2025, Week ONE Only we are accepting RAW BEGINNERS in Cello and in week TWO, we will accept RAW BEGINNERS in Clawhammer banjo, however, we cannot accommodate other raw beginners except in the children’s program or where specified.
For children, we are now offering a hybrid and appropriate camp at a reduced rate. (Guitar and fiddle and ukulele, and this is a heavily subsidized program which utilized both music instructors AND camp counsellors. No previous experience is needed on fiddle or ukulele in this program. These children also have integrated ART, SINGING, DANCING and movement, and the program is very child-centered and adapts freely depending upon the needs of the kids.
We do not audition participants for the camp however, the classes will be determined based on how you define your skill level on your form. At the first session your instructor may choose to move you to a class better suited for your needs. We work very hard to level people appropriately, so we encourage participants to discuss their needs with their teacher and the teacher will then make appropriate adjustments and recommendations.
If you select “beginner” on your form, our expectation is that you have a foundation of rudimentary knowledge of your instrument.. ( except RAW BEGINNER choices in cello and banjo week ONE and TWO respectively.)
For fiddle, you should have a repertoire of about five tunes. A beginner guitar player’s basic grasp of a few chords (A, G, & D) would be an asset along with being able to navigate your strings. Beginner banjo players will have a developing “bum-diddy” and basic navigation of their instrument. To define as a beginner piano student, your knowledge of the key names, basic scales, and a few chords would be plenty. If you would like assistance placing yourself, don’t hesitate to contact us.
NOTE: If you would like instruction in an instrument not listed, please contact Michele directly. If we can locate 5 people interested in a particular instrument, we will hire for that class!
Please note: we are in the process of hiring therefore, this list is subject to change.

Accommodations are yours from Sunday 6PM- Saturday 10AM, no exceptions. We are quite firm on this rule due to the many cogs it takes to ensure we are a well-oiled machine prior to camp.
Well, the one exception is if you’re registered in BOTH weeks.Then you also have your accommodation over the weekend for no additional charge.
If you have dietary restrictions we are happy to do our best to accommodate. In the past, we have accomodated such restrictions as: vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free and peanut free. If it is a serious allergy, we recommend utilizing our facilities to prepare your own meals.
For students participating in instruction, we ask to choose a primary instrument. You are required to supply your own instrument. There are opportunities to explore other instruments in workshops, jams and more – again, please bring those instruments as well!
