What reviewers say

Reviewers describe RARE ECO Centre as a serene natural space with well-marked, mostly flat trails beside the Grand River, where visitors often spot wildlife such as deer and ospreys. One parent of a six-year-old praised the camp's friendly, professional educators and said their son enjoyed the animal encounters. Some reviewers noted that parts of the trails are hard to reach by wheelchair, the site can be crowded on sunny days, and a hot-day class suggested adding shade.

    A wonderful.piece of the natural world amidst flora and fauna, nestled near the Grand River and close to the Walter Bean Trail. Easy to navigate any time of the year. Please respect the winter trail restrictions in parts that protect bald eagle nesting areas. Flat, fine for children's and seniors.

    Absolutely one of my favorite natural places in Cambridge. I am a huge RARE fan. Their trais are well marked and educational, they have ospreys nests that you can observe and they offer excellent programming to local schools. The only draw back is that accessibility on wheel chair is not necessarily easy. Some of the trails you can only get to on foot. But a really serene place. In the past, they have partnered with other organizations in town (like the symphony) to do music outdoors, which is an incredible use of their space.

    What an awesome trail! It’s a nice walk and has some pretty amazing views.

  • NZP C.May 2021

    Nice area, but pretty crowded on a sunny day. Make sure you check out the lookout point.

  • Saliy S.July 2024

    I don’t have enough words to praise this organization and camp. My son, 6, who’s a little scientist and an explorer said he never wants to leave and that this is better than his school and his other camp he’s at. The educators are professional and friendly. In my son’s own words “The teachers are nice and beautiful. I like the camp so much because we get to see animals and I have good teachers”
    We are beyond thrilled and they have exceeded our expectations.

    Great place in West Galt area of Cambridge to take a walk. Wide groomed trails through woods beside the Grand River. Mostly flat, some minor hills. Pretty easy to spend a couple of hours walking in one direction. Plenty of free parking
