★★★★★P GoldmanIt's borderline annoying how my kids constantly talk about their awesome sleep-away camp experience at Alonim (probably just jealousy on my part). The camp is exceedingly well run, the grounds/facilities are sprawling, the activities are numerous, the counselors are energetic and super-positive, and the kids even love the food. Highly recommended.
★★★★★Alya PfeilWe were there for a birthday party. This place is amazing. Have horses and archery with big pavilion
★★★★★Ivan MorenoThere are not enough words to express how great this place is. This is one of those places for the books. Power rangers were filmed here at some point, and so as Jurassic park and Sons of anarchy as well. These are acres and acres of nature and activities. We stayed at one of the houses here, which had been empty for a while, so we found mice and spiders, but it was still duable. The only thing i can recommend is to upgrade the furniture a bit and do some cleaning to these house from time to time, but its still a great place to visit for sure. Def coming back.
★★★★★Taly BarMy son 12 yrs old started with winter camp and absolutely loved it. The next summer he went to the sleep a way for 20 days and absolutely loved it. He has new great friends and feel a sense of belonging. He had so much fun. You can tell they work on social skills in a playful way and in a fun way so the kids are actually learning to love the different and have a new way of looking at life. We are recommending this camp to everyone. The experience of enrollment and communication has been top of the line. Thank you Camp Alonim for helping my kid.
★★★★★Linda FreundI bring my granddaughter here every year for sleep away camp. She loves it and always comes home with a smile that won't quit for weeks. She starts the school year on a positive outlook.
