This red headed bearded, sunglasses, hat and a very very nasty attitude, disposition, and well...spirit approached me in the parking lot. I pulled into a spot that wasn't available for another 15 minutes. Daycare parking and I didn't realize it. This carhart clown walks up to my door and literally says "No parking until 8:45 can't you read?" I told him "yes, I can read." I was about to say I didn't realize the time and he continues to berate me by saying "get driving. MOVE! I couldn't believe it. I simply told him he was rude and then...he lays into me and says, "yeah...ok drive tough guy." what do you weigh 110lbs." WTF? I don't pay 100 dollars a month to be body shamed by my gym employees.

Explorations is the best camp in Montreal, hands down. We have 3 kids and tried many camps, and…read moreExplorations camp is special because of its variety and the way they cater their programs to each age group. This summer will be our third year back as a family. For our youngest daughter, we love that their program has a lot of physical activity and outdoor lessons. They do cool hands-on projects every day, often combining arts and science, and they have a music teacher who she adores. Once she reached the Grade 2 level at Explorations last year, I couldn't believe the things she was doing - things like origami, coding, and even woodworking. Every day she came home excited to tell us about something new she had tried. Our middle child has been doing their Intermediate/Senior program for a couple of years now, and they're a bit more specialized, picking three activities to do in July. Our son is really into tech, so I thought he would pick all robotics and coding classes, but he's also been choosing some performance arts. The music band activity they run is phenomenal (we ended going to the NDG Music School throughout the schoolyear because our son got hooked). He also loves their comedy class, and it has made a HUGE difference for him to be doing performance activities with other kids. This is what convinced us that Explorations the best camp in Montreal. There are other camps with theatre, and other camps with electronics, but I don't know of another camp where kids can choose to do both. They also have a bunch of arts like pottery, fashion design, and animation -- which our younger daughter is really excited to try when she's old enough. Our older daughter is nearing the end of highschool, and she tried the Panorama Program at Explorations last year. It's for older students and seems to be totally focused on science (seems like their only camp level that does not have loads of variety). So probably not a good fit for your child if they don't like science at all. The Panorama students travel to different places around the McGill campus, and it was great for our daughter's independence. She honestly didn't tell us too much about it, but she liked it enough that she wants to go back again this year, which speaks volumes from a teenager who says little. They have sports, too. I don't think it's their focus, but the younger kids do have a dedicated phys ed teacher and lots of active time, and the older kids have some choices of sports activities like fencing and archery. They have soccer, basketball, and dodgeball as options for kids to do during the break times (our son says their dodgeball system is great). So if your kid is purely an athlete and just wants to chase a ball all day, then Explorations might not be for them, but if they want to do sports as part of the day, then Explorations definitely accommodates that. So we love that Explorations camp is fantastic for all three of our children, at very different ages. The variety that the young kids get is frankly unbelievable. The choices for the older kids are really good for letting them have freedom to learn almost anything - and you may be surprised by your kid's choices! And I actually don't know of many camps that do a special program for older teens, so Explorations camp stands our for serving all ages of kids with activities that seem perfect for them. *Note: these comments are about their camp in July. I just looked at their website, and I think their programs in August are more specialized with fewer choices, but they still look great. We are also going to sign up for their Winter Break and March Break camps for the first time this year, and we'll update this review to comment on those programs.
