This is the Clubmed of Ontario! I spent 4 nights there, with my family, and we still didn't get in all the activities. The setting is breathtaking. They offer varying camp meals (and snacks) and no one was ever hungry. It was nice to be able to go to camp, and be a kid again! Oops, I should have posted this at Kennebec Family Retreats.

A safe and welcoming environment for all. This camp effectively caters to campers of all abilities to succeed and have a memorable time. They bring the fun and then some and I love going back each year. Great place to work, volunteer, and attend!

- dorms have no heating
- areas are often bug filled and there is little enough bug control for an individual to have had a panic attack from head to toe mosquito bites one year
- little space for dorm privacy
- dorms have 2 bathrooms for 10+ people and cafeteria has 2 bathrooms for everyone, one of which wont fit any large, physically disabled or claustrophobic individuals (you can barely sit without your knees touching the sink)
- councillors do little in the way of helping high functioning kids, and often only accomidate low functioning kids e.g. If 2 kids get into a fight the low functioning kid will be told not to do it and face minor punishment while the high functioning kid gets 30+ minute lectures explaining how they should be understanding and what they should do with disregard to what provoked them and often get blaimed with no change in policy (if two people in the same dorm get into fights daily they will remain in the same dorm for the rest of camp)
- huge segregation between those on the higher and lower end of the spectrum. Since there is minimal supervision and care given to those without severe problems they are often only seen as the ones doing something wrong since it's thought that they are the only ones who can prevent conflict. That said councillors have little in the way of conflict resolution
- councillors often physically restrain anyone or remove privileges to deal with conflict instead of taking preventative measures e.g. Separating individuals who often conflict with each other (separate kids, remand kids, back to normal routine), encouraging communication, accommodating their non-disability related traits e.g is easily startled/provoked, fears which aren't severe such as fear of crowds, water fire etc.

One of the halls was old and roof was leaking. Also the dorms don't have any heating. Plan your trip accordingly.

It’s a long drive down the winding road into camp but it’s a lot of fun with all of the signs along the way. My autistic son loves this camp.
