★★★★★Julie WallYMCA Camp High harbour is one of the most beautiful Camps have had the pleasure of touring and sending my child to! Clean and well-maintained, amazing, caring, understanding and considerate staff. The camp is surrounded by stunning landscapes and beautiful lake with top notch security and privacy!
★★★★★Jacki CosperGreat place, and the YMCA staff were the BEST! We were here for a work retreat and I can honestly say they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome!!
★★★★★HarrisonI went to camp this year and it was really fun and if you are looking at reviews right now and you’re wondering should I send my kid here, the answer IS YES 👏. VERY FUN CAMP
★★★★★Gracyn BruceI was a camper at this camp for 2 years and i loved it so much i found a relationship with god there and all of the activities are so much fun i became so close with everyone in my cabin all of the counselors and CIT’s (counselor in training) do an amazing job at making you feel welcome. They are really great with allergies and medicine and make sure that you are getting the medicines you need that your parents drop off in the mornings and at night they make your safety the highest priority and everything is just so much fun. I’m so happy I go to the camp.
★★★★★SaigeI have been going for 2 years and this year will be my third. This camp has helped me get so much closer to god and to have journeys I did not think I would have. Everyone is so nice and it is so fun. If I had to choose a family that is not blood it would be them. I have grown as a person and as a child of god with this camp. This place will forever be my second home.
