Parent of a Pine camper (parent)Your instructors are a cut above We love Pine camp - in particular, your instructors are a cut above all other day camps. |
Parent of a Pine camper (parent)An experience that should not be missed “Pine is an experience that should not be missed for all Toronto youth. The kindness of counselors along with their attention to getting to know each child individually is only equalled by the outdoor experience delivered.” |
Parent of a Pine participant (parent)The best education beyond the classroom “This is the BEST education beyond the standard classroom. It offers children hands on learning by instructors who care about each child as an individual, providing them with a wealth of knowledge of the natural world in a classroom that is ever changing.” |
Parent of two Pine campers (parent)A must have for kids who love nature “Pine is by far the best city based day camp we have gone to. A must for kids who love nature, for parents who want to see their kids grow and gain confidence and independence. Pine counselors are a cut above all other camps.” |
Pine camper (camper)My favourite camp ever "My favourite camp ever is Pine camp." |
Parent of a Pine participant (parent)A transformative experience “I can’t overstate the impact that the program has had on my kids. In these formative years, the Pine Project has cultivated their curiosity and creativity, and established a solid foundation for a life-long connection with nature. It is a transformative experience.” |

While all camps are unique, the Pine Project is something of a rarity in that it offers both day programs in the city and overnight programs at a rural property. It’s a nice plus, allowing campers to attend different programs, and grow into overnight camp while staying within the same organization, culture, and to some extent personnel. In all, the Pine Project presents a tried and true array of camp activity, from woods lore, to skill development, to wilderness tripping and adventure. All activities are a means of getting at confidence, belonging, and fun, which is after all what camp is all about. Programs are based on academic research and insight, particularly undertaken at the University of Waterloo, so is sound both in curriculum, intent, and outcomes. Though, as with any great camp, kids learn and build skills entirely unaware that all the fun their having is good for them, too.
