Mission & Philosophy
At Canadensis, our goal is to create an environment that is emotionally, physically and socially safe for campers and their parents in a first-rate facility. Focusing on the individual needs of each child within a group living setting, our approach is to promote a community defined by tolerance and acceptance where campers feel connected to their surroundings while developing friendships that are sure to last a lifetime.

Meet Our Directors
Brian Krug: "I LOVE CAMP! Camp Canadensis is such an extraordinary place and as director, I want to make sure that all who join us each summer feel the same way. Our staff and I go to all lengths to ensure that campers feel they are in a warm, safe and nurturing environment. In the summertime, I am out with the campers and staff, sharing my experience and enthusiasm, whether it be shooting hoops on the basketball courts, tie dying in the Art Shack or up on the Canadensis stage in one of our camp musicals. I always hope that my energy and spirit for camp can be contagious to everyone around."

Pam Malter: "Camp Canadensis is my favorite place to be and I’m excited to share it with as many people as possible! During the year, I look for the most responsible and outgoing counselors, visit new camper families and establish lasting relationships. My main role during the summer is in the Programming Department. Our Programming team makes sure that we fill the 49 days of camp with as much fun and action as you can possibly imagine. I love sharing hobbies that I’m passionate about with our Canadensis campers!"
