    Our class had a great field trip to Camp Marydale today. We got lucky with the weather and the kids had a lot of fun.
    Our interpreter for our nature walk did a great job. The kids enjoyed the walk as did the teachers. The girls inside kept everyone interested in their seed plantings and crafts.
    I’ve been on this trip around 10 times, this time was somehow my favourite.
    We also come here for cross country twice a year. John S. and Carla U. have their act together and always make the day seamless and enjoyable.

    I absolutely need to make this clear for any parents that have plan on sending their child here for a school trip I am completely disgusted and disturbed! My son went on a school trip today for cross country and told me when he got home that there was NO WATER provided to the kids... no water fountains. It was a very hot day above 25 degrees. Please keep in mind this school trip was a $10 fee. They are charging the children $1 for water, and had very long waits at the ‘snack stand’. He told me he had to drink dirty water from the bathroom tap!
    I am writing to express my serious concern and disappointment regarding the lack of access to drinking water provided to…

    This is my child’s 3rd year attending Camp Marydale and she continues to talk about how much fun it is! I never took her to be the outdoorsy type but she willing wakes up early to spend her days outside here.
    The staff are definitely what keeps this machine running! Whether it’s keeping the schedule stocked with activities or keeping each and every kid safe, they make it happen. I can confidently send my child here and not worry about a thing. The park itself is GORGEOUS and all around a greatly run organization. I could not recommend them enough.

    My niece attends camp Marydale every summer and it is always a highlight for her! The activities are fun and inclusive and her parents feel safe and comfortable sending her everyday. The counsellors are great, the leads are always responsive to any issues or questions that come up. It’s also great they offer one to one camp counsellors for children needing additional support so that no child gets left out of the camp experience. I would and have recommended Camp Marydale to everyone I know looking for summer activities for their children.
