Laurus Summer Camp

We sent our 7 year old for two weeks to Laurus downtown campus this summer. With the pandemic, this was the first activity and time spent away from home. I was impressed by the COVID-19 protocols put in place and the protocols were followed closely by staff. It felt reassuring to know we were leaving our child somewhere safe, and fun! Our daughter came home the first day asking if camp continued on the weekends:-) she loved the activities, the themes, made new friends and really connected with counsellors Evie, Rainbow and Peaches. Thank you for the positive experience!

We sent our son to the downtown camp and he had an amazing time! The staff was very professional and they really handled the covid situation well! The director, Bailey, was really amazing. Communication was great, responded on time and everything was very clear. They made an abnormal summer into a fun summer and we are so thankful that we had this opportunity. He LOVED science and all the counselors (im still hearing about Mango, Zed, Pancake, Robin, and many more..) Would recommend the camp to anyone and looking forward to the coming years!

Day 1 at this camp and my youngest couldn't even let me finish asking question before excitedly saying ''I loved it''. We're on the 2nd week and my girls still love it! Given the pandemic, we're thankful that they were able to bring some joy to our girls' lives!

I sent my sons, ages 8 and 6, to Laurus for the first time. This was one of the few camps who decided to stay open for the summer and I reserved 4 weeks for each child. I have so many positive things to say about how this camp handled all the obstacles thrown at them. They had a last minute venue change and lack of access to indoor bathrooms and water hoses (the first week only) but they found solutions to every challenge. When I wanted to make some changes to my kids' specialty activities, it was never a problem and accommodated really quickly. They were well organized and communicated with the counselors efficiently. My kids came home happy and tired everyday. The counselors introduced them to new cooperative games that were educational and silly and fun. My boys enjoyed taking part in science and they even participated in yoga! The counselors all had awesome nicknames and infused the day with lots of silliness and entertainment. Of course there was tons of sanitizer and safety protocols too. The downtown Laurus camp provided my kids with a fun summer just as close to normal as they could muster. I will definitely be participating in early registration for next summer. Kudos to all the young people who worked so hard this summer.

My 5 year old son came back happy and tired in the afternoon. Could not stop telling us what he did at science group. Really thankful for the staff who took good care of him during this past week. Sure we would go back to this camp next summer!
