Sunnyside Paddling Club Reviews 

My daughter enjoyed it, but I think they were a bit bored, as her and her friend were much older and there weren't a lot their age. We would have loved to see more paddle and more opportunities for st... Read full review

She needed to do something, and everything else seemed too young for her and her friend. It was in a good location, and both girls were excited to learn and participate. I think morning and afternoon trips would have gone a lo...

Again, we wanted something that worked for teens, and they were able to get to one on their own as we work. We drove some of the time. We found they tapped out when the water stuff was done and would have benefited from more t...

No new friends, but it was great for her and her BFF, and a great pre-high-school initiative for them to travel on the TTC and navigate together on getting there from South Etobicoke. It also allowed them independence. I think...

I think they both gained confidence on the water and teamwork. They seemed to enjoy being together on the same vessel more than being independent. Said they’d like to be out more. Gained independence getting there and back h...

They were very happy with the staff. I did not meet them, but the girls had nice things to say. All my interactions over email with them were great, and it seemed well run. It is again hard with teens in any setting. Especiall...

Both of my kids are not the sportiest. This program was a good mix of physical activities and STEM activities while also being outside. They enjoyed the outrigger canoe activities, as they could pilot their own crafts, and the...

For one of the weeks, it was just my two kids who were signed up. For the rest, there was a good mix of kids of different ages that attended the sessions. They did not bring up any issues with the other kids and enjoyed the ac...

The kids were asked to try the different crafts available to them throughout the sessions (canoes, standup paddleboards, outrigger canoes, kayaks, and dragonboat). This allowed the kids to experience them and express their opi...

Staff were very open throughout the program and very amenable to requests during signup. A WhatsApp thread was created for each week to allow for communication during the sessions and to give updates on daily activities. They ...

This camp will help to grow kids' comfort with the water, though kids should already have some level of comfort with the water from swimming lessons etc. The staff are very supportive and knowledgeable in terms of making sure ...
