Outdoor Rec at Muskoka Woods

Testimonials

  • Livio Iannucci | Vice Principal - St Augustine Catholic Secondary School, Markham, Ontario

    "Muskoka Woods is an exceptional sports / activity facility that offers numerous indoor and outdoor activities for all participants, staff and students. By implementing this program at the commencement of the school year it offers staff and students the opportunity to connect with each other and establish new friendships while participating in challenging and exciting events. Senior students support, guide and encourage the grade nine students throughout the day and evening programs as they, in turn, develop and hone their leadership skills. The Muskoka Woods facility and excellent staff exceeded my expectations as a facility that could easily accommodate our 450 students and 20 staff members and provide for all a very safe and positive learning experience that was second to none."
