During my annual summer trip to dorney park and wild water kingdom, the children and staff alike were incredibly disrespectful and rude. Would not take my cousins who were present (15) and (13) to this camp. Leaving a bad representation of the camp.

I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at Camp Canadensis, and I can't recommend it enough! Nestled in the heart of nature, this camp venue offers breathtaking views that create a stunning backdrop for any wedding. The lush landscapes and tranquil atmosphere truly enhance the magic of the day. The staff at Camp Canadensis were great—professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in making the couple's day perfect. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, allowing me to focus on capturing those beautiful moments. From the charming ceremony space to the cozy reception area, every detail was thoughtfully designed to embrace the outdoors while providing warmth and comfort. I highly recommend Camp Canadensis for anyone looking to celebrate their love in a picturesque and inviting setting! 🌲💍📸

I got married here in May 2024 and cannot say enough good things about the staff and facilities at Canadensis. While this is a wedding review, after getting to know Matt and the team at camp I would recommend everyone to send their kids here. You are in good hands! Facility rental/wedding review: My fiancé and I searched for over a year and a half down the entire east coast looking for summer camps to host our wedding. We almost ditched the idea entirely when I stumbled upon Camp Canadensis on Google maps. I sent an inquiry which Matt responded to very quickly. The cabins are clean and have private bathrooms and showers, there are a number of private rooms for older guests, and you can drive right up to the cabins to unload your belongings before parking (this was the only camp we saw out of ~10 where this was an option). It’s also all-inclusive with lodging, food and activities. We were told that staff would be there to assist us all weekend and they delivered on this promise from the moment we arrived until the moment we pulled away, helping us unpack decor, the bar, and being there to help with everything we needed for the weekend. They sprung into action as a group was there prior to us and cleaned the cabins we were using before any of our guests arrived. All of the staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout the weekend, and you can tell how happy they were to be there. The food was excellent and the hospitality team helped us set the entire reception up, which I wasn’t expecting for a DIY venue (it looked even more beautiful than I had imagined). We had family extremely weary of staying at a camp, and I have heard nothing but positive stories from all who attended. I can go on and on about this place, but you just have to see it for yourself. Rent it for a major event, send your kids here, you won’t be disappointed!

Both of my daughters attend Camp Canadensis. It is their summer home away from home. They have made lifelong friends and count down the days until they return each summer. The staff is incredibly warm, welcoming and down to earth. They really strive to get to know your children and entire family. The camp is gorgeous, is very clean and has the most beautiful lake and grounds. It is a wonderful place to send your children for sleep away camp.
