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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“I assure you that in our next class we will concern ourselves solely with the history of Egypt, and not with the more lurid and non-curricular subject of living mummies.”
—Griffin Jay, and Reginald LeBorg. Prof. Norman (Frank Reicher)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
