As parents, we are predispositioned to worry about our kids. We fret over their nutrition, education, socialization, safety and general wellbeing to an alarming extent.

Here are five solid reasons not to worry:

Amazing Meals

Your child will probably eat better than you will during their seven days at Muskoka Woods! Guests enjoy a wide variety of foods served buffet-style, including a full salad bar and vegetarian meal options. At most meals, guests are seated with their cabin group so they will always have a familiar face to dine with.

Communication is Key

At Muskoka Woods, we create an environment where technology doesn’t get between your child and their best camp experience. Guests are encouraged to leave mobile phones at home. However, if you’d like your child to bring one for communication purposes, they will be able to text/call home after dinner time (5:30-6:30 pm) and before evening programs to avoid homesickness before bedtime. You can also send email to your child to keep in touch. Email to guests at Muskoka is a one-way service. Each day, email is printed and distributed to your. A mid-week care package that includes a Muskoka Woods stuffed animal, bubbles, playing cards and a sweet treat will be delivered to your child’s bunk on Tuesday to remind them you are thinking of them!
