On the second day of camp, my wife and I arrived to pick up our son. As we approached the group, we immediately noticed a strong smell of feces from about 15 yards away. All four children were standing within a few feet of the coach, so it’s difficult to believe the odor went unnoticed.
When we reached our son (age 4, who has been potty trained since he was 2 yrs old), he told us he had soiled his pants. After taking him to the bathroom, it was clear the accident had happened quite some time earlier, likely one two to three hours. When I informed the coach, her response was, “Oh really!” as though she was unaware.
We understand that staff may feel uncomfortable…Sayyam M.August 2018
Calm waters for kayaking and canoeing. Get there before six if you want to rent. Beach is pretty good for kids as they have designated shallow section. Best part is the green grass under the trees right next to the beach.

I love this camp. I give it 5 stars because of experience and how I have been there for 12 years. Since 4 and now I have been taught to do everything I know. Counselors do everything they can to make sure kids have fun at camp and enjoy themselves. I probably believe a few people might know me as I'm like really well known.
I have done almost all camps. The camp that I most enjoyed was MTB camp because all counsellor have been really kind. I went to the hospital for a hurt knee while biking and they were well prepared for it. All the safety precautions are well set to avoid them.
I have been in trouble a few times but sometimes it's hard to control all kids at once and…sinead S.September 2025
Great camp for kids! My 8 year old boys loved it. Great that they get lots of outdoor time, love the busing option and camp leaders made a good impression- hoping we'll be back next summer!

I’m giving this camp one star solely because my child went there alive and returned alive. Ｏnly positive I can find. Camp staff were unqualified and inattentive. Older kids ran wild with leaders while younger ones were left unsupervised. When issues came up, they blamed the kids instead of taking responsibility. Some leaders even encouraged swearing and rough, unsafe games. Totally unacceptable.

This is truly a camp full of disappointment. My son was bullied verbally and physically with no help, support or attention from the staff. Reached out to the team via email and got no acknowledgement or response at all. There are certain activities every day that require kids to prepare (e.g., wear yellow shirt day, bring your own marshmallow etc). Neither me nor my son received any notification about these the whole week - leading to lots of tears and disappointment almost every day. How horrible can the experience be really for a 7-year old? Avoid this camp if you can.
