★★★★★MilesI spent the previous summer season at Camp K (2021). Camp K is definitely one of the best and most beautiful summer camps. I highly recommend working here and/or sending your children here. Everything is extremely well put together. The staff is extremely friendly and dedicated. Update: Spent the 2022 season again at Camp K. I thought most everything went well this year. The beautiful scenic location is the best aspect of this camp!
