History of Camp Kandalore
Abstract
Camp Kandalore has operated for more than fifty years in Haliburton County and, proposing that there is an inherent and fundamental connection between camps and their bioregion, the author creates a comprehensive account of these fifty years from the beginning to the present.
The early years from 1944 to the mid 1950s saw the building of the camp under the supervision of Keith Cleverdon and the establishment of a camping program centred on outdoor education and an appreciation of heritage and adventure. Expansion of the camp under Kirk Wipper in the '60s and '70s saw physical changes and an emphasis on tripping programs and native heritage. The Historic Canoe Collection was begun and culminated in the construction of a canoe museum. Successful innovations by subsequent owners are described, concluding with the recognition that each camper will have unique memories of time spent at Kandalore.
