★★★Irina RDisappointed: - Inflexible and unfair refund policy. They charge a $100 non-refundable fee, which is excessive—especially for a Catholic camp that should prioritize serving families over money-making. - They fuel summer anxiety in parents by opening their sign-ups in January which also makes it very easy to become a victim to their refund policy. - Bad at communication and organization. Hard to get through on the phone. Took over a month to get my refund.
★★★★★Scott SakamotoMy daughter just got back from this camp, and she says it was very fun, happy, and cool. She also says she made a lot of friends, ate good food, and listened to songs by a bonfire. She loved it and will definitely be going back next year!
★★★★★Wojtek LasGreat place for youth to rejuvenate in nature and with God.
★★★★★Camren RichardsI went to this camp when I was younger and it not only helped me grow in my faith, but it was an incredible experience. It impacted my life greatly in my time there. The staff was friendly and fun and I always came home wishing I could go back for another session. Great camp, great people, great adventure. Highly recommend young kids of all ages and religions consider attendance.
★★★★★Avery WisnerI have been going to Bosco for 6 years straight and am so lucky this year to be a counselor in training. Don Bosco teaches kids to just let go of everything happening at home and have fun at camp. They teach you the importance of building a strong relationship with God and with other people. Without Camp Don Bosco I wouldn't of met so many amazing people who I am still in contact with today. Thanks to Camp Don Bosco I have so much knowledge about the outdoors, I have developed healthy social skills and (surprisingly) found a love for archery. It's very easy to develop a strong relationship with the staff at Bosco. They help you discover who you truly are and not just at camp, at home too. I have met some amazing and brave counsellors and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to become one myself. Please consider Camp Don Bosco for your child, you won't regret it.
