My son had the best time last summer and is so excited to go back in a few days. Kilcoo is hands down the best place where boys can become independent, confident, respectful young men, learn leadership skills, practice water and land sports, experience life changing outbound trips and most importantly and play outdoors (as kids should!) without screens and us parents hovering over them.

I went here for my grade 8 school trip with Viscount Montgomery in Ontario.
It was an absolute experience in every way. The counselors at the time were great! SKIP, when he was there was phenomenal. The experience of our canoe tipping was unexpected but something I'd never forget lol.
During the Air bands, the counselors helped this nerd back then perform and gain some confidence even though I didn't know all the words to "Great Balls of Fire".
Just was an all around experience that I haven't forgotten to this day.Eric M.April 2021
This camp changed my life. It helped a quiet and shy kid come out of his shell and make life long friends. It also introduced me to new sports that I have dedicated a large part of my time too. Kilcoo allowed me to face several of my fears and over come them numerous times. I was put into situations I never would have been in. I was taught skills that helped me in the every day. I learnt basic skills such as make your bed, clean, organize the cabin, and laundry. And would develop tons of sports skills making me want to train and pursue being an athlete... but also to be comfortable with new and old friend, find independence and strength through tripping, and like they…

This is my son's 3rd summer at KILCOO Camp. We love Kilcoo so much that I would give it a 10 star rating if I could! This camp is a magical place that has transformed my son from a teenager with self esteem issues to one who is happy, outgoing and confident. Camp Director "LUB" is an exceptional individual - he has a fun way with a genuine warmth and caring shown towards each and every camper. He has a way of inspiring the boys. My son always talks about him and fondly remembers the first time he met him. He was surprised when three days later Lub saw my son and called him by name! The staff are all extremely outgoing and polite. The leadership that Lub shows is evident…

The food sucks (they added water in the orange juice). The counselers was so mean and irresponsible (my stomach hurted so much because of the tournado that happened at nightime, and they said they cant help, they said to stop complaining when i was just asking for my phone to contact my parents since my stomach hurts sooo much). The room smells bad and its so dirty. I went to this camp for 3 days and 2 night as a grad trip. It costs 375 cad. It's definitely not worth it. My brother went to another 3 days 2 nights trip at monacliff and it only costs 175 cad. They have air conditioner, bigger bedrooms (also cleaner), and better activities. Overall, thus place sucks. It…
