My kids have been going to Mount Forest Camp for the past 17 years. From the children's camp and day camp to teen camp and even a winter camp, MFC has consistently offered a fun, safe, and spiritually enriching environment for them. The camp offers a variety of activities, including daily sports, a swimming pond, campwide activities there's never a dull moment, daily spiritual programs and the evenings, which always end around a campfire with lots of singing and stories. It’s that classic camp feel that really leaves a lasting impression on the kids. Each summer, the camp offers two week-long kids' camps, a week-long day camp, and a teen camp that our children have always loved. The activities are well-organized, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the focus on learning more about the Bible in a fun, engaging way is something we really appreciate. What truly sets Mount Forest Camp apart, though, is the staff. They are fantastic—always friendly, caring, and genuinely invested in the kids' growth, both spiritually and personally. If you're looking for a Christian camp where your kids can meet other young Christians, enjoy healthy activities, and deepen their faith, I can't recommend Mount Forest Camp enough.

Be very careful of sending your kids aged 14-17. They are left alone over night with absolutely NO adult supervision, whoever is in charge says “oh someone walks around until midnight” theres NOTHING stopping these kids from getting in trouble, put my 14 year old sister with older girls who were up until 3-4am talking about all the adult things they have done of you get what im saying. Horrible HORRIBLE behaviour from the person in charge who clearly doesn’t care about kids in any way shape or form completely writing off all concerns from parents. Had to go and pick het up after only one day as she got no sleep and felt unsafe in the cabin. Real nice behaviour from a bunch of self proclaimed “christians”. She will NEVER be returning.
