    We had privilege to spend 4 days at the camp. Students were very engaged and busy the whole day. Meals were well done and tasty. Staff was very responsive and caring. Shout out to Sara, Johanna, Clair and Pete.

    Someone mentioned Kearney the other day and it instantly brought me back to '95 / '96 when my class went to S.O.E.S and created so many core memories for me.
    From "Wolf Howls" to "Predator & Prey" in the woods, Dinner times in the lodge and the 'rustic' piano where the only rule was "NO PLAYING CHOPSTICKS". I can honestly say the educators who worked there truly shaped my life for the better.
    Thank you for existing and teaching the next generation core life lessons and the importance of nature.

    Kind caring staff. Plenty of delicious homemade food that accommodates all diets. This is the place to experience true Canadian hospitality and wildlife.

    My brother had a terrible experience with the food. He opted for the vegetarian option, and one day for lunch when other kids had burgers, the lack of a vegetarian option forced him to only eat plain bread with hummus. Also for dinner, he was served veggie meatballs with no pasta. He had to go hungry because the meals served could not accomodate his dietary needs.
