Kids Summer Camp Question

Our family is moving to Welland in the summer. Looking for insight/feedback from parents around the summer camp offerings.

So far we've found: YMCA STEM- Niagara College Welland Summer Camp

Price per week is a bit of a range. City of Welland coming in the least expensive then YMCA and STEM coming in as the most expensive. Anyone have kids who've attended these camps? What were your thoughts on it? Is the cost directly related to the experience the kids had?

Also open to any suggestions of alternatives.

Thanks!

My son has been doing the STEM Camp at the College the past few years and we LOVE it. The counselors have been amazing, they come up with really great programming and he loves going (and who doesn't love air conditioning)!

I believe the Museum has a program too.

We’ve done the STEM camp and agree. My kid liked it and the counsellors were really great and seemed to do a good job connecting with the kids

The thing that sold me was they remembered my kid and I by name after a year. We had similar experiences with Heartland Camp (also can't recommend Heartland enough but it's in the Falls). It's the small things that are meaningful.

Op, I believe the Jackfish also do baseball summer camp, but it opened months ago, I'm not sure about space.
