    My son just got back from his first experience at camp, said it was the time of his life!!!! I didn’t realize that it was a religious camp as my school went there when I was his age. My son actually said the religious part was completely fun songs and community feeling. I don’t normally write reviews but I had read past reviews while he was away that made me a little distressed…. Everyone of course has their own experiences. I just wanted to say ours was absolutely incredible! My son is very well travelled and plays on many travel teams yet this seemed to be top of the list for his experience! Friends, counsellors, activities, food all amazing!!! Asked if he can go back…

    I had my wedding at Keats Camp this past Labor Day long weekend and it was truly the most special, memorable event of my life. The views are stunning, the location is only a 45 minute water taxi from Horseshoe Bay, and the privacy of having the entire camp for our group was unmatched. Jordan was a phenomenal help in organizing behind the scenes and the staff went above and beyond with everything - setting up our cabins, meals, the logistics of our ceremony, water sports, archery, you name it! Can't recommend Keats enough for a unique wedding venue:)

    My son has volunteered at Keats for 3 years and he attended as a camper in grade 5. My young daughter attended 3 camps in past 2 years. Both my kids have had amazing experiences at Keats and my son grew as a person and a leader through Keats. Keats had a rough summer 2023 with staff transition and norovirus outbreak which was hard on many campers and volunteers, my son included. However my view is that Keats is built on a very solid footing as a camp and has delivered decades of positive experiences for campers and volunteers alike. My son is returning this summer as a volunteer along with other friends and our daughter will return to Keats in future. Although there is a…

    In 2019, our child, along with the majority of other campers and staff that week, contracted a serious foodborne illness that resulted in prolific vomit and diarrhea that was so widespread that it couldn't be contained to the bathrooms. The kids were suffering and there was no one responding to support them. And we heard nothing from the camp. When it was time to pick the kids up, the boat unloaded with all the kids looking pale, sad, and exhausted. Vancouver Coastal Health launched an investigation, and their investigator told me that they were very upset in Keats' handling of food, their lack of notification to Coastal Health, and their nonexistent communication with…

    My daughter had a good experience learning about religion, everyone working at Keats was kind and fun. Unfortunately the food was horrendous and lacking nutritional value (check out Canada's National Food Guide Keats Camp!). Her entire cabin got sick from the lack of fibre in the diet. Keats - just charge a bit more and feed the kids healthier meals.

  • Alex W.August 2024

    We sent our 2 children to camp a few weeks ago. On the first day we got a call from the councillor asking for some info on one of our kids. Turns out that the 30ish year old councillors in my son's cabin who called for information were scamming our 8 year old out of two thirds of his money for treats for his stay. When we notified the camp after the kids came back, we couldn't anybody to respond.. when we finally got someone, they basically said we will have a talk with them. Second, when tone to cover home, nobody helped out made sure all the kids stuff came home (half missing) On top of that, the same son who is a fish barely did any water activities which was decided…
