    My family has such a wonderful time at Jolena’s every summer! The camp was led with so much patience and kindness you can really tell how much she cares about the kids. Every activity was age-appropriate, fun, and engaging, which made it easy for my child to stay involved and excited each day. She knows how to manipulate each activity for each child while foster the child’s development.
    It was such a warm, welcoming environment, and I felt completely at ease knowing our family was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be back next summer. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a thoughtful, caring camp experience!

    My son absolutely loved his time at Big Brain Adventurers! He enjoyed every single day at camp—always coming home happy, tired, and full of stories. The camp staff are incredibly professional, caring, and truly know how to keep the kids engaged from start to finish.
    The days are filled with outdoor physical activity, nature-themed adventures, hikes, and so much water play—which was definitely one of my son’s favourite parts! It’s such a well-rounded program that lets kids be active, explore nature, and just be kids.
    He had a wonderful experience during the years he was old enough to attend, and we’ll always have great memories from those summers. Highly recommend this…

    Our kids had an amazing time at Big Brain Adventures Summer Camp this year! From the moment we arrived, it was clear this camp is run with heart, energy, and a true passion for giving kids a great experience.
    A huge shoutout to Jess and Ella, the dynamic duo of counsellors! They were kind, enthusiastic, and totally in tune with the campers’ needs. Whether it was leading a creative challenge, helping during activities, or just being someone the kids could talk to, they were absolutely incredible. Our child came home every day with stories about how “Jess said this funny thing” or “Ella helped me finish my project” — they made a real impact!
    And of course, none of it…

  • Alanna A.July 2025

    Both of my children have been attending Big Brain Adventurers for the past three summers, and it’s been an incredible experience every year. As a parent of two very high-energy kids, the physical activity and fully outdoor setting are exactly what we look for in a summer camp. Jolena and the entire staff are consistently supportive, caring, professional, and truly passionate about what they do. My kids come home with exciting stories, new skills, and smiles on their faces — and every year, they ask to go back! Their favourite part of the day is always the morning hike around the park that ends with free play in the forest. I highly recommend Big Brain Adventurers to any…

    My son recently join big brain adventures camp this summer and he absolutely loves it. I was skeptical about all day out door play but he constantly asks when he’s going back or if I can drop him off early and pick him up late. He loves Jess and Ella - the camp counsellors and has made many new friends! I highly recommend it! Also, communicating with jolena was so easy, she is very prompt to answer any questions or concerns!

  • Hamilton H.July 2025

    Disappointing. This camp is more of a glorified babysitting service, unfortunately. There was no evidence of becoming an outdoor expert or using their “big brain”, and the supervision was concerning. An issue transpired with a “stranger” who approached the kids at the playground, and gave them candy and a can of pop. It was not dealt with properly by the camp counsellor, and when I emailed the director about it (because there’s no phone number to call), she never responded to me. The next week I received an email inviting me to sign up for more weeks of camp. If I had known their day consisted of playing at the playground and visiting the splash pad, I would have…
