★★★★★Lisa JonssonOur daughter loves going to camp here!
★★★★★Monica Yontef GaffneyMy children are very happy here... they want to go to Camp Haverim early every morning + beg to stay late into the early evenings. The Camp Counselors are respectful, caring people who seem to genuinely take an interest in the children they supervise.
★★★★★Nancy CorrentyBest summer camp!! Kids are safe and have a blast. Very well run, organized and they hire the best counselors who have as much fun as the kids do. Memories and friendships to last a lifetime!!
