Laurus Named Montreal's #1 Summer Camp Three Years in a Row

Choosing a summer camp is one of those decisions that parents feel in their whole body. You want your child to be safe, active, included, encouraged, and excited to go back the next morning. Awards are never the only reason to choose a camp, but community recognition can help families feel more confident about where they are sending their children.

That is why we are proud to share that Laurus Summer Camp has been recognized as Montreal's #1 Summer Camp three years in a row through The Suburban's Best of MTL summer camp category. Laurus appears as Gold Best Summer Camp for 2025, 2024, and 2023. The Suburban also featured Laurus in an article about why families have rated Laurus so highly over consecutive years: read the feature here.

A three-year community vote of confidence

• 2025: Laurus listed as Gold Best Summer Camp in Best of MTL.
• 2024: Laurus listed as Gold Best Summer Camp in Best of MTL.
• 2023: Laurus listed as Gold Best Summer Camp in Best of MTL.

For us, this recognition is not just a badge. It is a reminder that families notice the little things: the morning welcome, the way counselors learn campers' names, the balance of structure and fun, the activities that help kids discover new interests, and the communication that helps parents feel informed.

Why families keep choosing Laurus

For more than 15 years, Laurus has served families through bilingual day camps and youth programs built around confidence, variety, and care. Campers ages 3-15 can explore sports, arts, STEM, dance, robotics, cooking, leadership, camp games, and weekly STA choices. Families can also choose from multiple locations across Montreal, Laval, the West Island, the South Shore, the North Shore, Ottawa, and Toronto.

Parents often tell us they are looking for a camp that feels organized without feeling rigid, active without feeling chaotic, and warm without losing structure. That balance is at the heart of Laurus. We want children to come home tired in the best way: full of stories, new friendships, and small moments of confidence.

What this means for summer 2026

The recognition from Best of MTL gives us momentum, but it also gives us responsibility. Every summer, we have to earn that trust again. For 2026, our goal is simple: keep building a camp where children feel known, parents feel supported, and each week feels fresh.
