From the outside this place didn't look like much but as soon as we got inside boy were the kids…read moreever happy! It was about $20 for 2 kids and 1 adult which is a great price for a day trip spot. Inside there are many spots to picnic as you are not allowed to bring food into the outdoor pool space but you can eat your food out in the common areas of the Centre. You can purchase food from the concession inside the Centre. We ordered the chicken strips and fries and both were agreeable for the kids. There are 2 big slides although when we went only one way open. The kids have to be a certain height to slide down alone and unfortunately my oldest was too small to go down by herself even though she wanted to go, can swim, and is the same age as her peers who were able to go down when she was not. So that is one downfall if you have younger kids like I do. The hot tub is quite large and not overly hot but still warm enough to heat you up as there can be a bit of a breeze in the outdoor areas. The pool has a lazy river, diving board, splash park, and large pools for playing. Its really a great place to spend the day. People bring in their own chairs to sit on however there are some loungers and chairs available should you not bring one for yourself. There are also life jackets available in all sizes! I found the entrance and the path to the pool to be accessible an even there was a nice slanted entry to the pool and hot tub as well! There is lots of parking on site and the service staff, lifeguards, and concession staff were all so friendly and helpful! Everyone did a great job and I would come back here and recommend to others as well if you're in the area or want to do a daytrip this is a great family fun spot.

This place has a ton to offer, in short it has a gym, basketball court, a massive pool area and…read moreother places. I come here mainly for the pool though. The pool is a very fun place where family and friends can get together and enjoy a wonderful time together. I'm only rating this 4 because I cannot give this place a concrete 5 stars without seeing all of the places. But the watermark alone deserves this high of a rating with its 2 very fun paced water slides and its hot tub. If you were wanting to come here I highly recommend it! The staff are nothing but nice and the place is always an enjoyable experience!

Just had a wonderful time at Camp Kindle!…read more We are a non-profit org who had our 3-day annual retreat there. The dorm was clean, tidy, and had enough room for us. The beds were decently comfortable for camp. No complaints here from a guy with back issues. The facilities were perfect for our meetings and breakouts. The large dining room lodge is excellent, roomy and then some for the 40 of us, and the cooks dished out some good food over the three days. The activities were a lot of fun! Archery, escape room, and high ropes. Although I didn't do the high ropes, I had a lot of fun doing the other two and they were all awesome team-building activities too. Good fun and some good razzing of each other too! There is zero cell service there and the wifi is weak. I'm not saying that's a con at all. It was nice to disconnect actually and just be with the people there. The staff were absolutely amazing. They made it for us! We felt so welcome, encouraged, and they took great care of us. Thank you, Camp Kindle!

Camp is not just for kids.... did you know Camp Kindle is available as a retreat centre? For…read moreweddings or trainings? The summers are jam packed offering a safe place for kids with or affected by cancer but they are open year round and are available for other bookings when the kids aren't there. I was very surprised with how under booked they are too because it's a great space. And all the rental fees go back to helping the camp run in the summer for the kids which is also very awesome (I learned they can do chemo on site if they are in treatment... how wonderful is that for a kid going through cancer?). I got to hang out here for a weekend and it was awesome... even in the middle of winter. I wasn't sure what camp in the winter would be like (I was thinking back to my summers in tipis hoping the heat of the fire would last the night) but it's barely camping as far as accommodations. We stayed in rooms that looked like college dorms in the Jack Perraton Volunteer Lodge which has 2 twin beds per room. Real beds, toasty buildings, flush toilets and running showers... like I said, not quite hotel rooms but not really camping. We ate in the Jayman lodge catered by the staff of Kindle. I'm not sure what options are available for food but we had fairly simple, tasty and healthful meals the whole time and they took care to offer gluten free, vegan and halal options as per the group's needs. There are meeting spaces of all sizes and large event spaces all is fairly modern and renovated buildings. I didn't get to explore all the buildings but it really seems like there are loads of options here for just about anything. I went exploring in the woods and found a very cool old fur trapper like epic log house along with old fashioned stoves and the lot. One of the staff said it's where the teenager level of camp hangs out but it's a fav during weddings for the groomsmen which I totally see because it's remote, beautiful and has such amazing charm for lots of bonding. I didn't get cell service at any point while I was here ... which is either good or bad depending on what you need. I notice they have wifi but I decided to stay unplugged... and I lived! :) They have different activities they can facilitate with groups ... like snowshoeing, hiking or rope courses (not in the winter). The surrounding grounds are beautiful with lots of little critters to meet... we saw a bunch of really chilled out deer and really just a magical place for whatever your looking for and it's extra nice to be able to help support something that has such a beautiful primary mission.
