BENEFICIARIES OF OUR PROGRAMS

Counsellor - Canada Summer Jobs Recipient
“What makes Explorations different, having been both a camper and a Counsellor?”
From a camper’s perspective: the fact that there is so much diversity in what you can do, and that there are activities that you wouldn’t normally find in a summer camp. As a staff member: the fact that Explorations offers you a way to get more experience while learning more about yourself and about the professional world. Explorations allows you to develop the skills that you want to develop, but also helps and guides you along the way.
Guy Ettlin
Educator
I’ve had a blast teaching Scriptwriting & Cinema at Explorations. The learners are motivated, curious, active and bursting with energy – there is never a dull moment at Explorations! In the span of our one-week enrichment course, they’ve gone through the development, script and production phases of film. It’s been challenging in the best of ways, pushing the boundaries of hands-on learning. Being able to bring my professional experiences in film to the classroom has been amazing.
Sean
Counsellor - Canada Summer Jobs Recipient
I felt very supported at camp, I think the staff did a really good job at making sure I felt comfortable at work. They gave me really good advice on managing my class. They also really helped me boost my confidence at work.
I’d like to continue the (counsellor) program next year because I thought that it was very well planned out and organized. I thought that they gave us good training before camp started and also I thought it was a good opportunity to take on a bigger challenge and take on more responsibility. I equally thought that the support system presented to us was awesome and that would make me want to come back, knowing that I would have people to support me during the job.
Jill
Parent
We are tremendously impressed by the program. Our child felt welcome and was able to integrate easily with the other kids. He was engaged in the material presented and came home every day eagerly talking of his projects. We were impressed when he showed us the virtual world he had built with the help of camp counsellors.
We are happy for him to continue learning new skills and making friends.
Valerie
Parent
I want to thank you again. First of all, for sending the composition he created in the workshop and second of all for the AMAZING job you did teaching. In only 3 hours, you have already given him the skills that he needed to continue composing at home. He has been having lots of fun on GarageBand!
Tami Brewster
Activity Leader
It’s always fun to see how creativity emerges when there are no parameters. I love seeing kids be kids and enjoy each other’s company while learning from each other and building each other up.
