In 1990, a select group of teachers and professionals created Crestwood Valley Day Camp, which opened that same summer.Eric Shendelman, the Camp Director, has over 20 years of camp experience and has a great passion for working with children. As a parent and a teacher, Eric clearly understands the importance of safety and fun at camp.

Eric is committed to helping children develop their skills in this dynamic and supportive environment. He is an active member of the Society of Camp Directors, a Vice President of The Ontario Camps Association and speaks regularly at OCA conferences.

I have 2 very different kids and both absolutely loved this place. They would go for a month every summer and it was always their favourite. They loved it even before the new air conditioned buses! I would recommend it, the kids have a great time, really grow and gain independence and they have a super swimming program. One of my kids is a picky eater and he never had a problem. Their favourite game was always something called Gaga -a game I had never heard of before but it is apparently a huge deal. My oldest never wanted to leave even though he passed the age level, one of the Directors, Bobby always let him come back because he knew how big a deal it was. To this day this camp is his fondest memory. My daughter cannot wait to be a counsellor there in a few years. Very kind people.
