★★★★★Leah CruzBlue Mountain is my home away from away home! I’ve attended this camp for 15 years and it’s still a place I want to experience. There is so much to do from arts and crafts to swimming to archery to a variety of sports games. It’s a true play to experience the outdoors and still have so much fun. This is really a place you want to keep coming to both as a camper and a staff member!! The camp is run by great members of the community and everyone always treats you like family. Even though I am no longer a member of the staff, the directors still welcome visits with open arms. I can’t wait to go back and see what’s in store for this summer!
★★★★★Brandon SodenI have been attending Blue Mountain Day Camp since I was 14 years old and been going back ever since. Now I am one of the staff members at the camp has turned me into a responsible young man that I am today. I came back as a Counselor because I wanted give back to the camp community. Great co-workers we all are like a family to one another. And a great camp environment
★★★★★Mariah CruzI been going to this camp since I was 8 years old and became part of the staff for several years after. I called this place home away from home and made awesome friends and coworkers that became family. This camp helped me grow and come out of my shell to the person I am today. Every summer was awesome and couldn't wait to see everyone after the school year was over. The camp is a beautiful place and run by amazing group of people and it was always a blast. Blue Mountain was a place to be a kid again and just have fun and make memorable memories not just for ourselves when I was camper/staff but for the kids as well. Even though I am longer part of the staff I still return to visit when I can to see everyone.
★★★★★Delia HallI had gone to to Blue Mountain Day Camp every summer since I was 6 years old. Every summer here has been fantastic. The staff here were and continue to be like a family. The camp is well run, located in beautiful Fariview Lake, and lots of fun! I enjoyed this camp so much that I am still returning every summer as a counselor. There's no other place I'd rather spend my summers! :)
★★★★★Silvia StraussBest camp in the area. It has been around for a very long time. We were recommended this camp by several people. My child has been going to this camp for 7 summers. It's a true outdoor camp, with lots of activities. There is horse back riding, archery, boating, fishing, swimming, and many more. The staff has always been wonderful.
