★william weesnerWas told I was on their property when I was parked in front of forestry gate they lied to me and said I needed a background check to be on their property when I wasn’t even on their property I was in front of a forestry gate. You guys don’t own the corner of the road.
★★★★★jason spechtFantastic summer camp. Well organized and great property. Home cooked good quality meals too.
★★★★★Jamie DanielleThe most amazing camp on the planet. We have been to 2 family camps and they were outstanding from the food to the activities and camp leadership. I highly recommend Camp Howard! It’s the best- your kiddos will love it!
★Clancy Alegriai went to this place for outdoor school, and the food was raw, and gave 10 people food poisoning. food was also expired, didn’t have enough food for everybody, and the bathrooms were unclean. i wouldn’t recommend coming here at ALL. also the drinking water had bugs in it :( …toilets wouldn’t flush well either, the counselors had no idea what to even do, and all of this felt really unprepared. worst outdoor school i’ve ever gone to (i’ve gone to 2 other ones before, and they were way more prepared)
★★★★★Kortney DownerIf you're looking for an amazing summer camp full of classic summer activities, memory making staff & the best camp food you've ever had look no further. They are not only the most affordable camp around they truly care about the kids and the environment they are creating. I HIGHLY recommend!
