    The Hope Valley volunteers and administration are very structured and responsible. My children loved EVERY part of the camp activites and want to return each year even my 13 year old.
    They are exceptionally kind and caring which my children felt safe and at home. The buses punctual and I felt confident about the bus driver as well.
    THANK YOU HOPE VALLEY FOR YEARS
    OF FUN and for the hard work from all the volunteers for the children.

    I am surprised that there are so few reviews of this outstanding camp! Each year, thousands of children attend this well staffed, well run camp offered at no cost (which is unheard of these days). All this with a mission to show goodness and spiritual growth to young minds and hearts, while in a beautiful natural setting. I can give 50 stars if I could, thank you Hope Valley for doing such amazing job for community and children who are growing up with so little guidance these days. God bless!

    My kiddo loves it! Seems to be lots of great young leaders/councillors to camper ratio. As someone who has a truly challenging child, they have managed him awesome, no phone calls home! Note they are reminding them about sunscreen when I was there in the morning. Lots of "who needs to put on their sunscreen" before the outside activities.

  • Ali M.August 2020

    My kids have had the opportunity to grow in both leadership skills and character development in a fun and safe environment. I especially respect that their vision is for any child in the Peterborough area to have the chance to experience camp for free. A great place.

    Other reviews are missing key points. Positives: Cheap alternative to very expensive camps. Very friendly staff, lots of things to do, great lessons in life, sports, teamwork and religious values. Cheap store for kids to learn value of currency, and how to manage spending. New lessons taught on sunscreen protection. Lost and Found area is also done well enough, and they have an outdoor (non-shaded) swimming pool with showers and offer cheap swim lessons after hours. Negatives that prevented 5 star: Not remembering to apply lessons for sunscreen, although we parents put it on in morning - we can't be responsible for the kids if we aren't there after lunch, and our kids…

    Caleb (Bauer) is the goat. Maintenance is incredible, leaders are friendly and kind. Also Steve is awesome! (Co-written by Caleb & Andrew)
