★★★★★Ryan WarmackA wonderful place for the youth (and adults) to enjoy the outdoors to the fullest! Beautiful scenery and ample wildlife to view and enjoy.
★★★★Dalton BartonIt was ok I had fun fishing and made a friend from the other troop but there too much bugs in the beds
★Jackson CouchNo thank you, will not be coming here again this is going to be a long review. To start the waterfront was closed, not the camp’s fault per se but still not a good start. Next we arrive at the campsite and the guides leave. (Special thanks to Eli, Sam, And Josh) they were amazing. On my initial sweep of the campsite I found lots of food trash under the adarondaks and tents. Picked it up whatever. We go into the shelters lots of spiders. The next morning my troop walks onto the parade field. We do the ceremony. We get done with breakfast and go to classes. Only to find out that this camp is the worst layed out place in America. We get through three classes go to lunch two more classes dinner. The “teachers” seemed to be learning the curriculum as they taught it. And the food was mid at best. Staff was rude and cursed multiple in front of or at my campers. To make it clear we were not the trouble makers at camp. I am disappointed to even leave a review like this but this was a terrible experience and we will never be able to come back.
★★★★★Stephen LongThis camp has all of my love. It is the home that my country roads take me to. The staff are phenomenal, the program is always being made better and the service is outstanding. I can't wait to be back. P. S. Health science (Bubba, Jonah, Evan, and r.i.p. Vasquez) is awesome and Rachael is the best teacher ever!
★★★★★Shannon SullivanI'm now 40 yrs old and have been going to Camp Comer since I was 11 yrs old. I am the scoutmaster of Troop 11 in Weaver, Alabama and every time we got to Comer for summer camp or just to do a weekend there, I get the greatest response from my Scouts. It is a very wonderful place to spend any week or weekend. It's 2015 and the camp turns 50 years old this year. Happy Birthday Camp Comer. May you keep touching the hearts and minds of every young man that takes the time to visit. Keep up the good work. See you all on week 5.
