“I spoke with Camp during the 48 hour call. From the conversation, my son is having a great time and adjusted really well & quickly to the Camp Wenonah environment. I was so thrilled to hear that. My son is a really sweet kid who makes the most of every situation – I hope all the boys are having just an awesome time at Camp. I’m hoping that this will be the first year of many to come. Camp is a quintessential Canadian experience of the outdoors, of friendship and of learning. Love it! Wenonah’s values really resonated with us as a family. It is a bit of a leap of faith to entrust your kids but one we felt really good about.”

From a First Time Camper Parent

“Each of your leadership staff from ROOTS, WCIT and POLARIS have a profound effect on campers. Your willingness to listen, to have empathy, to give support is heartfelt by the camper and it doesn’t end at Camp. It comes back to our home; we as parents are incredibly grateful. You do a fantastic job of trying to manage the balance of dealing with mental health issues, creating cohesiveness within groups, and making it all a great experience for everyone. Your ability to support teens and let them feel safe at Camp gives them strength to face their challenges.”
