love this camp, sent 3 kids here. Facility is second to none, so gorgeous. Head staff are amazing and attentive. Kids all have had a great experience. Happy with bussing as well. Only complaint is the instructional swim program is not good at all.

My daughter went to Camp Green Acres last summer and had the time of her life. She's typically quite picky about what she does but with such a wide range of activities, there really is something for every child. My daughters favourites were: visual arts, gymnastics, mini golf, pottery, archery and...

While I can't speak of the camp itself, I am appalled at the Chick hatching program. The children are only told that the chicks are returned to the farmer. The females are used for egg production and the males are ground up to feed and fertilizer. It's a cruel and deceiving program. The schools are ...

A very quaint camp with lots to do.

The ratings seem to express a camper-counsellor dichotomy, which is quite amusing. Having went there several times for workshops, you can tell that some of them are worn out. It says something about the conditions that they have to work in, which is an obvious ...

They have admitted that they tell children that the chicks go to a free range farm, while they actually go straight into a factory farm (if female) or are ground up to b...
