Timber to Table

"Timber to Table" is the approach RKY took to the furniture in the Homestead.  All of the tables, bench's and desks are made from the trees that were removed during construction.  Donations of $5000 or more are recognized with a plaque inlaid in the epoxy coating on the dining room tables and wood surfaces.

Shower House

New RKY Shower House

Coming Spring 2026

The previous RKY shower house was appropriate when RKY was a smaller camp and operated a Summer Camp only.  ​

​

Since its construction in the early 80's RKY has grown both in size and the experiences we offer.  

​

RKY is now a Year Round Camp and Outdoor Centre, with participants of all ages, identities and abilities 

​

Features:

  • ​Individual Shower Stalls with Change Space

  • Barrier Free and Universal Washrooms and Showers

  • Half of the facility is winterized and will help the camp grow and improve its programming in the colder months. â€‹

​​​​

 

​The new Shower house will improve the camp experience for our participants, by creating a welcoming space where they feel comfortable and proud. 

​

For information on how to support this project, you can contact D'Arcy  (darcy@rkycamp.org).
