★★★★★Tom CliftonCamp Awosting is a great place. It feels welcoming right away, and there’s a genuine warmth to the whole camp. What really stands out is the staff. They’re attentive, kind, and clearly enjoy being there, which makes a big difference. Everything feels well run without being overly structured, and there’s a nice balance between professionalism and a relaxed, fun atmosphere. There’s a strong sense of community throughout camp, and it’s easy to see why people keep coming back. Overall, it’s a really positive and memorable experience.❤️
★★★★★Anne BisbanoMy 9 yo son just returned from four weeks at Awosting and he said it was the best summer of his life. We were so impressed with everything. The facilities are gorgeous, the counselors were awesome and fun but also reliable, the leadership was communicative and supportive…and it was just so much fun. This place is just paradise for boys. Easy to get to, food is excellent, and they have great medical staff as well. A magical place!

★★★★★Joe KuciaReminded me of my days as a counselor! Kids were polite, happy, and energetic. Staff was observant, well rounded, and enthusiastic. Litchfield County Axe House had the pleasure of working with the camp on a mixed night with their sister camp. The kids had a blast throwing with our coaches while the camp staff supervised the waiting line. A great place to send your boys, I would say!
★★★★★Frances Pardus-abbadessaMy son PAvol has attended two or 3 years in a row. He loves everything about it. He says the counselors are great and enjoys participating in the various activities. He loves the food too. An all boys camp with lots of activities is a very good experience for my son.
