I was debating is I should leave this review, but decided to do so to help parents in the future to decide about this camp. The location is beautiful, no questions about that. The facilities (cabins) are mostly very old and worn down, the doors of the cabins are not locked for the night. The shower only two times a week, and for me it was huge break down, especially my girls was not given shower for three days on her P. days (!!!) when it was known to supervising staff, I can not imagine how in modern society it could happen, just unbelievable, when I knew that I totally lost my trust in the place.

   Read moreMy daughter first went to Ryde Lake Camp in 2009. She has been back every year since as a camper and then as staff. It’s her favourite place in the world.

Thank you Franny and all the previous staff for making Ryde the most...
