What is the weather and temperature like? Summer in Alaska features 24 hours of daylight. The weather is comfortable with temperatures ranging from 45 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit (8 to 23 degrees Celsius). Visit www.cnn.com/weather for a full 5-day weather forecast. Does my son need insurance? While we employ the highest safety standards, extra "security" is always a good idea and, therefore, personal insurance is recommended. My son has never been in the wilderness, what can he expect? An experience of a lifetime! New exciting friendships with leaders from around the world. An opportunity to experience "God's marvelous works". And, if it's mom who's a bit skittish, keep in mind that all wilderness activities use professional guides and that wilderness Do's & Don'ts are taught to the boys! Given the unique nature of activities at this camp, what is the makeup of staff accompanying the boys? Great question!! We are extremely proud of the staff we have put together in order to make this a safe, adventurous, healthy and spiritual experience. Each group has their own chef, doctor (trained in wilderness medicine), licensed guide/survival expert and priest as well as specially trained counsellors. Is there someone I can speak to personally, someone who has experienced Camp Kodiak? Yes, camp director Ray Arsenault always welcomes the opportunity to talk with you. If needed he can offer contacts with other Kodiak alumni who can provide additional information. Ray can be reached at 902/854-2808 (phone), 902/854-2808 (fax), or arsenaultacres@pei.sympatico.ca (email). What does my son bring? Camp Kodiak Packing List Alaskan summer weather can range between warm and sunny to cold and wet! Rain gear is essential!!
