Survivor Camp at Camp Fortune

Survivor Summer Camp at Camp Fortune

Can your tribe build the best shelter, find a hidden idol or win an immunity challenge? At National Kids Camps’ Survivor Summer Camp, kids ages 6 to 12 join one of four tribes for a week of outdoor challenges, lake adventures and friendly competition in Chelsea, Quebec.

The challenges are designed for this age group and give campers different ways to contribute. One camper might spot the hidden idol, another might come up with a clever shelter design, and another might rally the team through a tough challenge.

What campers will do

Through the camp’s 4ocean partnership, campers also help clean up local waterways and take home a 4ocean bracelet.

Earn badges and celebrate at the carnival. Survivor badges return for 2027, and one camper will be named National Kids Camps Survivor Camper of the Year. The week wraps up with a Survivor-style Friday carnival with games and prizes.

Try something new on land. The lineup includes hiking, archery, archery tag, beach tennis, the aerial park or mountain coaster, and physical, mental, food and immunity challenges.

Hunt for underwater treasure. Campers use snorkel masks to look for treasures, swim through hoops and try other staff-led lake games. Beach time and stand-up paddleboard races are also part of the fun.

Take on the fire-building challenge. Campers learn fire-building skills with staff guidance, then cheer on their tribe in a Survivor-style rope challenge. Afterwards, everyone roasts marshmallows.

Search for hidden idols. There are more idols to discover in 2027, and finding one could change the game.

Build and decorate a tribe shelter. Tribes can earn an extra decoration each day. The tribe that collects the most by the end of the week wins a special award.
