Finding summer camps in Montreal and across Quebec is not a particularly difficult task. Finding summer camps or day camps in and around Montreal that are affordable, staffed by trained professionals and properly accredited for the sake of your children's health and safety is a whole other story.
Simplify your search with the Quebec Camps Association (l'Association des camps du Québec). Every camp that belongs to their network must meet a stringent set of standards. The Quebec Camps Association evaluates members on 40 points summed up by the following criteria:
safety standards
adequate staff training
counselor-to-child ratios
age-appropriate, fun and effective programming
food quality approved by a dietitian
environmental standards (water quality, location)
Search the Quebec Camps Association's certified members by location, camp type (day camp, summer camp, etc.) and activity (learn a second language, sports, arts, etc.).
