What Parents & Campers Say
“One of the best camp my 5yr old attended this summer. Staffs were the best, always high in their energy, sharing daily pictures with parents...It was such a great feeling to hear staffs recognizing every kid by their name and their fun filled conversations were just awesome. We will surely be looking for this camp again in the future. Thanks !”
“Amazing summer camp with great coaches and staffs! It is our first time signing up for Rouge Camps and my daughter had lots of fun especially coaches Duke, Ariel and Daisy kept the spirits high with fun energy levels for the kids! That’s a plus for the campers and I am sure Rouge Camp will acknowledge their great leadership skills and talent with endorsements for what they do! We look forward to participating more weeks in the next summer! Can’t wait!!!”
“This was both my daughter (5) and son’s (4) first full day camp, and what a great choice we have made! They both enjoyed all the activities and how friendly all the camp team members were. The t-shirts they got for their respective groups was a great touch! Thank you for the experience!”
“The last two weeks in camp have been a really great experience for my 4-year-old daughter. Minnie and the other counsellors are always super-patient, understanding and encouraging - and all-round super-nice in every way ... and for the first time being away from home my daughter has been allowed to mature and have a great summer. Thanks so so much from me, my wife and my daughter and we're looking forward to another week as well as coming back next year.”
“A great experience! My son just turned 4 in June. He has tried three different camps so far this summer and Rouge Camps was by far the best.”
