Stories

• Feedback from our 2016 Season!

  "Everyone loved everything about camp"

  "He had a fantastic time and always enjoys the great counselors and activities"

  "My son absolutely loved the Camp.  He went for one week without a friend and could not have been happier.  I found everything about the process easy."

  "All the programs were fantastic. They loved the variety of activities that were planned each day, the counselors were very helpful and fun."

  "He loved the whole experience and talked for weeks after about coming back."

  "My son had a great time at canoe camp - he spoke highly of his counselors and the activities"

  "She LOVED her Camp experience. She thought it was a good mix of fun and challenge"

  "Totally loved it. Wished they had started coming 2 years earlier (their own words)."

  "My son loved his counselors.  The two counselors had a huge impact on my son.  I cannot even begin to describe it.  I had registered him for 2 weeks and he asked for one more week to be with these two incredible young men.  As a parent, I am thankful that he had the opportunity to spend time with these two.  Very positive influence!!"

  "My daughter came home every afternoon speaking very highly of her camp counselors."

  "Yes, so much! Everyday we picked her up was "the best day ever"."

  "The choice of camps for older children was amazing!  I had trouble looking for things to do this summer with my new 14 year-old and Harbourfront Centre Camps gave her an opportunity to DO something instead of just sit at home.  There was an amazing variety and I was so pleased to  have been told by my friend!  I find most camps only focus on younger children but kids between the ages of 10-14 need to be active and stimulated too.  Thank you for making her summer all that much more interesting during the day when parents need to be at work."

  "She had a wonderful time, and is already looking forward to going next summer."
