As a mother of two, I was nervous about finding a camp that would suit both of my kids, who have very different interests. Laurus Summer Camp was a perfect fit! My eldest thrived in the leadership program, while my youngest loved the mix of sports and arts. They came home every day excited to share what they learned and couldn’t wait to go back the next day. The staff was wonderful and made both kids feel welcome and engaged.
My daughter absolutely loved her time at Laurus Summer Camp. She’s always been shy, but the camp environment really helped her come out of her shell. The combination of educational activities and fun games kept her excited every day, and she made friends that she’s still in touch with. I can't say enough good things about the staff—they truly care about the kids and their development.
We couldn’t have asked for a better camp experience, and the location on the West Island in Dollard-des-Ormeaux made everything so convenient for us. The facility is spacious, clean, and perfectly suited for all the fun activities the kids took part in. Our youngest had a blast with the arts and STEM programs. Laurus Summer Camp really exceeded our expectations, and we’ll definitely be returning next summer.
