"I trust the entire OPC experience and find their approach to education, holistic and grounded in the simple reality to KNOW – LOVE – SERVE God through the environment at the camp, through the cafe & its staff, through the programs and camp leaders."

"Going to Pioneer Camp was a bonding and unforgettable experience for our students.  They experienced the beauty of Northern Ontario while learning about the outdoors, about each other, and about themselves.  The staff were supportive, motivational, and helped us all to feel like we were in good hands.  We look forward to making trips to this camp an annual event, and one that I'm sure will be eagerly anticipated by all our students."

"Our experience at Pioneer Outdoor Education Retreat Centre was fantastic! We ran a "Peers Empowering Peers" retreat with grade 9 and grade 12 students. The staff at Pioneer were warm and welcoming, and showed a genuine interest in our students. They were encouraging, knowledgeable about the various activities, and flexible. The students loved high ropes and mountain biking. It has been a highlight in our school year and we can't wait to return next year!"

"Our experience at OPC has been phenomenal.  Organizing a high school leadership camp program can be a lot of work, but with the support of OPC staff, our program is always a tremendous success.  Staff will do whatever it takes to make your retreat/camp as best as it can be."

“My students arrive at Pioneer hungry to grow as musicians.  They leave satisfied with a strengthened sense of character and commitment.  Our new student leaders always seem to emerge during band camp weekends at Pioneer.”
