★★★★★CJ HusteadI sprang my funny bone from having good times at Camp Dream. Can't wait to come back for more funny bone sprangs, and etc. Thank you!
★Mya MPlease don't send your kids here... No one will speak on it.. But I will. This place is not safe for kids. Most of the kids experience ankle sprangs, arm sprangs, and etc.
★★★OddSwissGooseFor a person who visited Camp DREAM. I had a fun time with friends and making new ones too. I had fun doing group activities. But to make it more fun for kids and other people it will be great if you are fun activities to do during free time “tetherball,four square,Gagaball pit,rope swing on a the water front dock.” The rope swing will be fun a way to get the floating. Also if you have showers near each camping section. So that all campers can take showers close to their location instead of walking to the main lodge. Also if you can make the camp sorta a tech free for kids. So that the kids can have a free week with no tech.
★★★★★Michael KaszyckiCamp DREAM is truly a hidden gem within the country side of Vermont. Their mission statement and what they give back to the community is invaluable along with their scenic campsite. They have amazing facilities not to mention the friendliest of Directors and management. I would highly recommend Camp DREAM and this organization to anyone wishing to get involved!
