My son has been to the Rundle camps for the last three summers, and he loves it! He loves how approachable and fun the camp counsellors are. I love how comfortable I feel knowing my child is safe and having fun!”
Rundle summer camps are an amazing way to start our daughter’s summer. From the unique sessions that change each week, to making new friends and (most importantly) getting to hang with “cool older” counsellors (who happen also to be part of the Rundle junior and senior high community), each day our daughter comes home with a smile and often more than one story of how great her day was. Our life is easier as we now know that she’ll be at Rundle for all of July. You won’t be disappointed by attending a Rundle summer camp, from the leadership to the activities to the friends!
