Camp

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.

I've gone to this camp for 5 years now and i loved every second of it

I thought it was just a random thing that our teacher signed us up for but it ended up being pretty fun and I had a great experience, I'd definitely recommend.

My son (age 6) just finished his first skate camp this past May with Evolve @ Ashbridge's Bay Skate Park - he was a total beginner. When I picked him up on the last session (4 in total) he said he was super sad it was over and asked if he could go again. My son has never expressed interest in programming of any kind. He does after school and summer programs because we need him to (to be busy and for childcare), but he genuinely likes the program and rolling around the skate park. His instructor Patrick is fantastic - he is totally engaged with the kids and exudes an authentic love for the sport which is totally infectious. Thanks Evolve skate camps. Can't wait for the summer!

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!

We have been a Maker Kids Family for about Two Years now ( Bloor West Location) . We started with PD camps, then summer camp - finally weekly classes. In person last year/ now virtual. My Son LOVES his classes (Incubator and Minecraft) he is now doing the virtual classes due to Covid, but feels he has friends & community there. As he says, Mum -" there is no virus when I am doing my class, I totally forget about Covid" As a parent, the teachers are fantastic with the kids, Thomas being one of those I wish to shine a light on. He has such a positive way or working with the kids. "Hey Makers..... WELL DONE!!!"

I have been a camper at white pine for 8 summers and just completed my CIT summer. I could not have been more lucky to have such an amazing experience at Camp White Pine. The staff I have had at camp became my friends and always looked out me. My CIT co-ordinator was my counsellor for 3 years at camp and has been in our section for 5 summers. We all have become so close with her and have all became a family. I know that the friends I have made at White Pine will be my friends forever. We have all grown up together and will always share some great memories at camp doing fun activities, on canoe trip, and just hanging out in the cabin. Thank you White Pine for being my home away from home!

Great place! So many fun times! Amazing!

I work here now and it's great

My son has been taking drum lessons with Kevin for 3 months and has achieved so much already. Kevin is a wonderful teacher and has a calm demeanor and a great teaching style while sharing his love of music. We will continue visiting Oak Learners and also look forward to seeing/hearing about their other activities scheduled throughout the year. Thanks Vicki and LD

I think it's just excellent.. My son actually enjoys going here for math (JEI Etobicoke) . He's trying harder, really learning, and finally got A's at school. Before this we tried out two other well-known tutoring centres, which were good programs, but my son hated to go and refused to continue. JEI is different. It has a really sophisticated way of teaching according to each child's specific strengths and weaknesses, instead of squeezing the child into a big system. My child feels challenged but respected as well. It's not too repetitive, and not too abstract. It's quiet. The teachers are very intelligent. They know what they're doing. So for Math its just great - worth every cent - but I want to say that he tried the Art classes too, which were also first class; it was sophisticated and relaxing at the same time. His accomplishments made him so proud!
