  • Scott M.August 2026

    My kid came home filthy every single day.
    ... And happy as a clam. I have no clue what he spent his day doing, but he loved it.
    Staff were always professional and friendly.

  • Attitude A.February 2024

    What a great camp for people to rent and kids to go to! They have plenty of outdoor activities from water sports and rope courses to archery and team building. The cabins are heated, and they have a separate are for washrooms and showers. I also heard they are putting in a new kitchen! Very impressed with everything they offer
    Also, heard they have some day camps in the city that offer field trips and activities every week, so I’m going to look into that one!

  • Roger P.March 2026

    Great camp location close to the city. They host March break and summer camps. There are even family camp days, where people can go try it out for the day to see if their child(ren) will like it. The price is reasonable to try out. The facility is well maintained and clean. The staff made my camper feel safe and included.

  • Mubarik S.May 2024

    My community arranged an annual event, We do BBQ and play lots of game in their grounds. Elders and kids enjoy a lot. We saw the wildlife deers there as well. It was a fun and memorable event at this place. There are many outdoor activities as well. Highly recommend.

  • Alejandra F.May 2026

    Grew up going here every summer thanks to my mom. Best experience ever. I'm 35 and I still remember every song

  • S.B. C.October 2026

    Great for camping with family, friends or larger groups. You need to book first.
