★★★★★Alden F. CohenThe activities they have planned through out the day are great. Lots of Mosquitos, so big replant is a must. Lots of positive energy and good vibes. The cabins are open windowed so mosquito nets for sleeping bag is recommended.
★★★★★Phoebe Jaroszbest camp i've been to!!! councilers were amazing, ( a 3 star comment complained about covid tests, even thats is normal for a camp with 500 campers. ):
★★★★★Elizabeth MacDonald, DVMThis camp is AMAZING. It is my daughter's happy place and has been from the time she first went with us to family camp. Now she goes every summer and she never knows other children when she shows up. She will give up every other vacation for Camp Augusta. The counselors are extraordinary individuals who are very well trained and the activities are creative and engaging. They do an amazing job every single year!
★★★★★Russ HeiligWe made a trek as a family for a weekend camp, and it was fabulous! The energy from all there was infectious.
★★★★★EJ CampbellAlmost 10 year old twin boys had a great time at Camp Augusta's most recent two week session. Lots of great memories, crafts, and they loved the tons of choices each day. It pushed their boundaries and gave them a sense of independence, and best of all, they want to go back!
