What families say

“We choose this camp because it is where I went as a kid and I loved it. My children have grown to love it as much as I have and cannot wait to get there. The thing that makes it great is that it is a true summer camp. It is all about getting back to nature and getting to spend a week away from your parents and make your own memories and experiences.” — K.W., former camper

“My son has gone the last 3 summers now and he absolutely loves it. We make sure that he is able to go as much as he wants because he never feels excluded or unwelcome.” — camper parent

“My daughter came back so excited for next year. She LOVED it and gained confidence in making friends.” — camper parent
