I am leaving this review to share serious concerns regarding the safety, hygiene, and environment at this camp.
The kitchen facilities have severe, unaddressed pest issues. I observed rodent droppings inside food storage containers and a variety of insects throughout the food prep areas. When these issues were reported to management, no effective corrective action was taken, and the concerns were dismissed.
Furthermore, the living conditions on-site are highly concerning. Multiple cabins and staff areas have visible mold and persistent, heavy musty odours.
The overall environment also lacks proper oversight and inclusivity. I witnessed disrespectful commentary…Tamara S.July 2024
Went for visitors day, had a blast! Friendly staff, kids seemed really happy. Will be sending my son to the mini session in a couple of weeks, so we’ll see how he likes it. Maybe it’ll become an annual thing
