History
Kilcoo Camp was founded in 1932 by Charlie Plewman. During Plewman's tenure, the camp grew extensively and gained a strong clientele among parents and children in Toronto. John "Chief" Latimer purchased the camp from Plewman and became director and owner. During his time as Director he still instituted Plewman's ideas and combined with his own unique directing style. After Chief retired as director, Hal Hannaford, currently the Headmaster of Selwyn house in Montreal, was named director. Following Hal's directorship, John's son David "Lub" Latimer became the current director. David has been the director of Kilcoo for over 25 years.
Starting in the summer of 2007 filming for the Disney Channel Original Movie Camp Rock started in various locations in Ontario. Kilcoo Camp was selected as one of the locations for the film.
