Parent (parent)First Time Campers at Any Age
I am so pleased that, at almost the age of 15, my first time camper had such a positive experience |
Parent (parent)Managing unique needs My son is autistic and has many quirks and fixations, I don't think he could have had a better counselor, who was also Autistic and made me super comfortable leaving him there. This is the longest my son has EVER been away from me and his puppy. Meals will always be an issue, when Ainsley is not at home. They t... Show More |
Parent (parent)Thrilled to be at Camp She had the best time and she loved the food, staff and complete experience. I am so thrilled with the camp. |
Parent (parent)Professionalism at Camp My camper had a medical emergency, the professionalism and care from the Presqu'ile Team was by far amazing! |
Parent (parent)Welcoming Environment For All
I sent my daughter with a journal and pre write questions for her to answer. One of the questions was “what emotions did you have on your first day?” Her response was anxious, happy, excited and ACCEPTED. That alone was all I needed to know that she had a great week |
Parent (parent)A Break From Tech to Be a Kid Between the crafts, swimming, sports, games, meals and camp fires I would say my boys were more than happy with their time spent there. A week off their tablet is great thing. The price for the camp was an important matter for us. We found it quite affordable and well worth it in the end compared to other ca... Show More |
Parent (parent)The Benefit of a Smaller Camp The entire Presqu’ile staff have been fabulous for the last two years now answering our every email and in person questions. It's the kind of personal attention we simply don't feel a bigger more elaborate camp could offer. We've never even done sleep overs with neighbour kids bit for some reason felt more c... Show More |
Parent (parent)Easing Apprehensions
Gwen had the best ever. She is still talking about everything that went on. It was her first year going and I was a little apprehensive as a parent wondering how she would make out. She loved it. She's already asking for 2 weeks next summer. She had an absolute blast. Thank you |
Parent (parent)Creating Safe Space for Campers
This camp provides the most amazing councillors for kids new to the overnight camp idea. They made even the shyest little girl feel so loved and accepted. After a school year of bullying and mean girls I can't even begin to describe what this has done for her ❤️ |

Camp Presqu'ile was founded in 1929 to reflect the YMCA ideals, and it’s done that ever since. Spirit, mind and body remain the focus, as well as an overt attention to not only having fun, but also developing stewardship, community, and ethical leadership. The staff are drawn to the camp because of the values that they share, which in turn contributes to a strong, inspiring camp culture. The programming beautifully reflects the core traditions of camping in Canada, from active living to personal and interpersonal development. The facilities have been sympathetically updated, including a new dining hall in 1999, and an update to the mod cons in 2005. It nevertheless retains the feel of what camp is about: singing songs, getting out on the lake, and making lasting friendships.
