About CGIT Camp Kalalla
Since 1949, Camp Kalalla has provided empowering experiences for girls and young women (ages 7-16) in the Ottawa/Gatineau region at our overnight summer camp in the Gatineau hills. Our programming includes swimming, kayaking, canoeing, arts, crafts, Discovery Time (facilitated small group discussions), environment activities, campcraft, and our Leader-in-Training program. Through skills development, team building, and leadership development (and a whole lot of fun!), we emphasize the unique worth of each individual, the value of community, and respect for the natural world. Join us!
Camp Kalalla is an inclusive community and organization, welcoming diverse girls and women. Please contact us at campkalalla@gmail.com or view our ‘Policies’ page if you feel Camp Kalalla might be the camp for you.

Camp Kalalla’s 75th Anniversary – Thank You!
Thanks to all who made it out to celebrate Camp Kalalla’s 75th anniversary the weekend of Sept 20-22, 2024! What a great weekend we had! Mother Nature graced us with beautiful weather and it was nice enough to swim! There were folks up for the whole weekend, some came for the day on either Saturday or Sunday and we welcomed over 70 people to the free Saturday afternoon Birthday Party! We were thrilled to have such an incredible mix of friends ranging from past campers (some from 1949, 1950 and 1974!) to present day campers, staff from past years and many from summer 2024. Friends from the Lake Association and community came by, as well as camper and staff parents. We shared memories, photo albums, cake and stories. Songs were sung, incredible food was enjoyed, there was much laughter, we unveiled two art projects in the Dining Hall and are so grateful to all who helped out and joined us! The 52nd Honeython kicked off as well with a wonderful display of items from Crerar’s. See you in the future for the next celebration!
