Imre ANTAL (Parent)4.8"Mes filles sont plus autonomes depuis. ... Et leur niveau d'expression et de compréhension en anglais est devenu excellent." Ma plus jeune, de 10 ans, ne voulait pas y aller !

Bear Creek Outdoor Centre is a small, family-run, overnight camp near Ottawa Ontario. Director Jill Baxter started the camp with a clear focus of creating a positive community where all kids are celebrated.
Likely one of the smallest overnight summer camps, with a capacity of just 42 kids, Bear Creek Camp is one of those places where everyone knows everyone. Campers are welcomed by name, and Baxter and her staff look forward to their return year after year. All summer programs at Bear Creek exist to use outdoor adventure as a vehicle for personal growth and development so that, as Baxter says “every time a camper feels the warmth of the sun on their back they are reminded of their love of nature, their friendships, their challenges, and their accomplishments…Just thinking of the sunshine of summer will remind them to stand up straight and move forward with the confidence of knowing who they truly are”.
Bear Creek is a summer home for many kids and grows with the child through teen canoe trips and leadership training where teens can gain valuable experience and certifications in outdoor skills. Bear Creek Camp is located on a stunning 400-acre, secure, wooded property with a pristine private lake. This simple, off-grid, and off-line environment is truly a place where community takes centre stage.
