We had such a great experience with Firefly Forest Camp! All four of our kids absolutely loved it and came home every day so excited to tell us about everything they had done and all the adventures they went on.
What we loved most was seeing how much fun they had just being kids—exploring, trying new things and enjoying the outdoors. The boys loved all the adventures, the girls had the best time, and months later they’re all still talking about camp and already asking when they can go back!
A huge thank you to Sam, Meghan and the whole team for taking such wonderful care of our kids and giving them such a fun and memorable experience. We’ll definitely be back next summer! ❤️shayne Z.September 2026
We originally signed our daughter up for two weeks of camp, but she enjoyed it so much that we extended her stay to three weeks! During the school year, our daughter attends a structured, academically focused school. I have always wanted her to experience some of the simple joys I remember from my own childhood - exploring creeks, getting muddy, playing in the woods, and simply enjoying nature. I’m so happy that Firefly gave her exactly that experience. Every morning, as soon as we dropped her off, she would head straight to the mud kitchen. At pickup, she was always excited to show us what she had made or tell us what she had played that day. Megan and her team did a…

Our precocious 5yr old spent 7 amazing weeks out on the land at Firefly. She had an absolute blast. From dancing in the rain and mud, collecting rocks and sticks to crafting, chiseling and soaking in nature, she had the wonderful experience of learning, playing and exploring the world around her. I couldn't recommend this camp more as an option for care. The team at Firefly are exceptional - friendly, caring, knowledgeable and fun! They genuinely care about your child's development and experience there, and help ensure that there is a sense of wonder and curiosity about the surrounding environment. We will be back. Enthusiastically so. I look forward to my child growing up here on the farm.

My son is neurodiverse, and he goes to Firefly Farm and Forest. I knew from the beginning that the washroom facilities were not yet fully developed, but I also understand that this is a farm-based experience and that they are continuously improving and adding to the space over time.
What makes this farm different from other places is that it truly gives children a **raw, authentic farm and nature experience** rather than a polished, commercial one. My son absolutely loves roaming around and exploring, and I love seeing him experience the outdoors in his own way.
The best part for me, as a parent of an autistic child, has been the **love, patience and genuine care**…sara S.September 2026
My child attended Firefly Camp, and our experience was extremely disappointing. The great online reviews and impressive, professional-looking handbook made the camp appear structured, organized and well equipped. The reality was completely different. It was operated out of a run-down house that appeared to need significant repairs, with no proper washroom facilities—the children were expected to use a porta-potty. They were also reportedly given drinking water from an outdoor hose and told to cup their hands to drink from it. There was little to no structured programming or organized activities, mostly just free play. Most concerning, when the children asked to call…
Sabrina S.September 2026
My niece’s experience at Firefly Camp was extremely upsetting, and she has been genuinely traumatized by what happened during her time there. Unfortunately, the experience did not match what was advertised or what we were led to expect when we paid for the camp.
Basic necessities and reasonable standards were not met. We were extremely concerned about things as simple as access to drinking water and adequate bathroom facilities. Most concerning of all, my niece was not allowed to contact her family when she wanted to call home. As a parent/family member, that was incredibly distressing and unacceptable.
We paid for a camp experience where we expected the basic…
