A group of happy campers in front of the Museum's famous Parasaurolophus.

"Seeing instructors that have returned from prior years. It is great to see the familiar faces but also shows they enjoy being there."

"My daughter has been attending since 2015 and we've never been disappointed."

"I am very nervous to leave my child when I don't know the staff. I felt instantly comfortable due to the quality of the staff, the number of staff on site and the excellent level of organization."

"My daughter loved the staff at the camp. All the counsellors were always courteous, helpful and pleasant."
