had/has lots of kid’s from Toronto and Montreal. I’m curious if they will send their kid’s this summer, but many of them have been going to this camp for generations and there are precious few openings every year. They may not want to lose their spot. Family/kids have to go through interview if they are new to this camp and they only accept a few new campers every year.

It’s one of those camps where you go all summer and kid’s go for 8 years. My kid started going went when he was 6.
