"Alex has been going to Camp Kirk for three years now starting when he was nine years old. He really enjoys his stay at the camp and every year he tells us he wants to go for more than one session.
We can tell how comfortable he is there.
Starting from his second year at camp, he would ask us when we would leave after dropping him off! He was ready to go before we were ready to let go!
Every time he comes back from camp we notice he has an increase in maturity, self-esteem, is more flexible in trying new things and is generally a happier boy.
The biggest and by far the most important factor is the staff.
Henri and Erica do a fantastic job at recruiting excellent counselors who share their vision of how camp life should be.
Every year we are thoroughly impressed with the quality of the counselors both in terms of enthusiasm and caring.
We also think their counselor-in-training program provides excellent opportunities as campers get older.
We’re glad we stumbled upon Camp Kirk as a first overnight camp for our son.
Other parents tell us of trying other camps until finally finding Camp Kirk!
Other camps may have more in terms of facilities such as a beach on premises, but none surpass Camp Kirk where it matters most: excellent counselors from across Canada recruited for their dedication and caring in helping children who may need just a little bit more"
