Barrie Camp

[Anonymous]

I've heard a couple of unreliable negative reports about the lower camp counselors but I can't tell if it means much. I would really like any info about Barrie Camp. It is an 8 week commitment so I want to make an informed decision. Thanks.

This is second hand but we have two sets of friends who loved Barrie Camp.

Our son went there for the past two summers and had a good time. No complaints.

I'm confused by the 8 week commitment. I think they want 3 week minimum. My kids did it last year. I have mixed feelings about it. While it was an acceptable camp, it was far for us and for our younger child didn't offer alot of benefit over a local in town camp like somerset camp (the long day is too much with the bus ride). I thought it was a lot of kids with young inexperienced counselors. Some great, mostly mediocre (as most of these camps are). Supervision and communication were very good though and i appreciated that.

Most of these camps seem to lack real enthusiam for the kids. At one camp (not this one!) i swear the counselor was completely disappointed that yet another kid showed up.

Barrie offers canoeing and horseback riding and have a small pool onsite which is all great.
