Bayview Glen Camp

Okay camp, not coming back. Not a lot of diversity so if your kids don't fit their mold he/she won't fit in. I didn't think younger kids would have problems fitting in but that's the culture here.The counselors are all very young and the good or bad thing is there is a lot of them, that's part of the summer camp deal in a lot of places. There is a lot of physical activities and fun" activities but not much to exercise the mind. Again

Working there for 4 summers was the best experience.

excellent camp- my daughter loved it. She always came back home happy and excited. The bus service was excellent. Swimming program was great too. I observed lots of positive changes in my 4.5 year old. Thank you!

This camp is an amazing day camp choice for your child. This summer my child attended and after registration, I learned that there were new directors this year, so I was a little worried about if the experience would be as positive as it was in previous years. Well, it was great! The Covid restrictions were spot on, and they put in electives each week which was a new feature. My child loved focusing on a different activity each week. Swimming was cancelled due to Covid, so the electives were a great way to soften that blow as well. They offered so many choices like magic, visual arts, multi media, coding, basketball, soccer and photography onsite, and even had special offsite choices like horse back riding, sailing and lake sports. The staff were really friendly, kind and accomodating. A huge plus is that they provided all the food and snacks for the kids so you didn't have to worry about that at all, and the food got good reviews too. The only downside this year was that they didn't use the original campus which is beautiful. Hopefully they'll return to that next year. Highly recommend this camp if you're considering different day camps!

My 6 year old had a fantastic Summer. The programs were well thought out and fun, and the staff super engaging. There was the added benefit that the camp prepared all snacks/meals, saving us time in the morning! A great month she had, at a very fair price.

After 15 years at Bayview Glen Day Camp as both a camper and staff, I can truly say without a doubt that it is the most incredible place to be during the summer. I have been able to experience a wide range of activities, gain important leadership skills, and meet people who have positively impacted my life. I cannot imagining spending my summers anywhere else.

My friend (who's a student) wanted to get a job here but they pay next to nothing ($2/hour), which is horrendous--not only this, but they require her to take extensive training hours, and if she cannot take them due to the limited time she has as a student, her wages are deducted until she's actually paying the camp to work. This is outrageous, considering the cost for a child to go to the camp is in the thousands! For some reason, it is legal for this camp to pay under minimum wage to a student like my friend, which I find doesn't make sense, seeing as it's child labour.

Great camp! I have been sending my son from Europe for two summers and he loves it. He has been to many camps all over Europe and Bayview Glen is among his favourite. The staff are full of energy and fun. My brother worked as a tennis coach many many years ago and he speaks of the experiance till this day. Keep up the good work.

Too expensive, lot

Terrible camp. They cannot expect to deliver a quality camp to children with the dirt cheap wage they pay their camp counsellors. To escape the minimum wage, the camp offers a contract to potential staff to work over the duration of the camp. Given all the responsibilities and hours counsellors work, they only get paid 4 or 5$ and hour when you do the math. Disappointing how they take advantage of our city's youth for profit...
