YMCA Camp PineCrest Review

So many mosquitos and lack or proper paths leaving you to climb around the Canadian shield.

My girls had an incredible time here this summer. YMCA values are superb.

Activities are interesting and staffs are very nice. Food is great too.

Do forget to bring bug spray and sufficient change clothes when it is expected to rain as lots of activities will be done outdoor rain or shine.

I think this would be the la-la land for every kid. The professionalism of the camp staff and the way the traditional outdoor activities are preserved and improved over time are nothing short of amazing.

Have taken a group of high school students here for years. A beautiful place in a beautiful location with super helpful staff.

Great place!! Always my school goes here and today we came back and What A blast and the Pine Crest Staff is so kind. And caring. thank and you for all the good time The Pine Crest Staff Especially Cici . And recommend going here it's alot of fun.

I went to PC Camp as a kid MANY MOONS AGO...and it's great to see so many pictures and how far the camp has come since the 80's when I attended. Fabulous memories....

My son had an amazing time and will go back next year. He couldn t stop talking about camp.

I am happy to say I spent 9 years (both as camper and staff) at Camp Pinecrest -- amazing experiences and acquisition of values. I attribute the joys of my life to those friends I met and the wonderful summers . It also shaped the futures of my two daughters who spent many summers at Pinecrest and moved on to very successful lives.

Can't express enough thank you's to staff, campers and former Director Ivan Robinson. All the best to CPC in the future.

If your child is a vegetarian stay away from this place. It is not veggie friendly and my child had to drop out of a 2 week camp on the fourth day as she was starving. Although the management reassures parents that options will be provided, the reality is otherwise as items like salad, fruit , cold pasta are served daily ...not too many meals served hot. My child managed for 4 days, mostly eating fruit. Councillors don't seem to bother to foster interactions between cabin mates , as there was a group of 4 girls known to each other , who pretty much ignored the rest in the cabin, leading to a feeling of isolation amongst the rest . All in all my daughter described this to be the worst experience of her life and this is coming from a girl who does not give up easily.
I will however give full marks to the camp setting which is very picturesque ; Facilities are okay and 70 % of the crowd which comes are returning campers.

Clear lake, one of my favorite lakes in the world, the staff at Pinecrest were awesome, was here as an adult volunteer for my kids overnight trip, a great experience!

not my thing. at all. in the slightest. but if you're a camper go for it

Too many mosquitoes, there's no getting away from them

Awesome activities and staff, food and cabins were great too. Make sure you bring a flashlight and bug spray, though.

last year i went and had a great experience the staff was great we were just not allowed to take food to our cabins :(

Best winter camp experience going for the family - Summer camps for kids are always great

It's an awesome place I feel like I'm in place where I belong

I was here as a student in October 22-25,2018. The camp is a great place.
