Camp

Great place lots of fun for kids

My 11-yr old son LOVED scooter camp. The staff at the camp were great - engaged, interested, friendly and encouraging to the kids. The communication from Evolve was fantastic, both before and during each camp, and gave me confidence in knowing they were on top of the details. The bus pick-up and drop-off was really convenient and exactly on time every day. Some skateparks are a bit sketchy, so I was happy to know my son was well supervised and having fun!

A perfect place for kids to become independent.

I’ve been going to Camp Awakening since 2014 after I lost my mother but at first I was nervous and scared since it was my first year. But the staff made me feel welcome and less nervous and scared. And after 2014 I fell in love with this camp. Before attending this camp I went to Kenesserie Camp. I’ve been going to camp since I was eight years old. Both camps are the best. Camp Awakening has so many great staff and campers. I’ve made awesome and caring friends that I still keep in touch. I love all of the great activities. My favourites are canoeing, kayaking, windsurfing and many more. The program ive attending before I aged out of going to Oconto was MILES. But anyways I highly recommend sending your child(ren) to camp Awakening!!! And now I’m attending the YLD program this summer 2018!!

I love you will love too many memories

We tried Onadoga this year as daughter wanted to go with friends. Was aghast at the horrible tents she was in and the unsafe top bunk bed she had when I took her there. She is thirteen so was in a tent. Raccoons came in each night and lots of mosquitoes too, although good thing it was last week of August so the bugs not so bad as could have been. Counsellors in her tent seemed just ok when I met them at drop off. I expect as it was last week of the summer, they were in wind down mode, but would hope that management would not let this happen. Food seemed low quality compared to other camps. Few veggies and fruits. Not much variety or quantity. This morning, the day of pick up, all my daughter got for breakfast was a medium sized muffin. She is athlete, so normally , her breakfast would be eggs and toast and fruit or oatmeal and fruit. Also while we were told the camp operated as singe sex, it turned out many more activities were done with the boys. I don't necessarily have an issue with this, but we should have received correct info. Next year, we will go back to Akomak - way better food, better cabins, and lake and counsellors and less $$ too.

Amazing camp. Went here when I was younger.

so lit

Good

i got on my first big vacantion and it was great!The staff was very kind and funny, so if yall wont to be boring go at this wonderful peace place.

It's not a very outdoors camp, personally I think that camp is about getting away from inside and enjoy nature

A Cesspool of Harassment, Bullying, and Indifference I was sent to Camp Ahmek in the 1960s because my conservative parents were obsessed with my becoming "successful." This is not just a boys' camp, this is a camp for the children of the rich and famous like the Trudeaus. My co-campers were obnoxious spoiled brats who harassed me continually. I was physically assaulted twice by other campers and once by a counsellor, who assaulted me sexually. Although the camp advertises all sorts of activities, especially horseback riding, which my parents specifically requested, I never saw a horse. Canoeing instruction was basically nonexistent. After complaining I was interviewed by Taylor Statten himself who told me to tolerate the abuse because my peers were "testing" me. I was finally allowed to phone home, on a phone call that was closely monitored by the camp staff. I spent the last couple of weeks hiding in a crevice in a rock face because that was the only way I could get some respite. I am 71 and still have PTSD from this experience.

Went here for a school trip and had a blast! Camp Tamakwa offers a variety of activities (such as canoeing, rock climbing, ziplining, archery and much more!) and the camp counselors are very helpful. The view is also gorgeous from dawn to dusk and the cabins are perfect for nature lovers. Hope to come back and visit soon!
