★★★★★Tamara SilvaI went to Camp Kiniya in Vermont when I was 10 years old. Back then the camp was great and they did have horseback and lessons. It was great because they also had archery, swimming and other kinds of cool stuff to do.
★★★★★Tess CI’m currently going into my fourth year at Kiniya and I love it so so so much! The campus is beautiful and all the staff and leaders are the best. My favorite part of camp is definitely hymn sing!!!
★★★★★Ian GardinerOur two daughters have gone to Kiniya for the last 6 years and loved it! The staff at Kiniya have created an incredibly positive and warm environment for all types of girls. It has been one of the best experiences our daughters have had!!
★★★★★Bennet RatcliffMy camper loves Kiniya. She has been 3 summers now and her friendships are growing deeper and stronger. For 11 months she talks about Kiniya - the theater, sailing, hiking, climbing, Lake Champlain swim, singalongs, but mostly the friends. The young adult leaders are fabulous. The adults are very supportive. The cabins, dining hall, boathouse, garden and all the facilities are top notch. So glad that Kiniya is part of her life.
★★★★★Bill BullockCamp Kiniya is a remarkable place. Our daughter loved her time there. As a high school educator and admissions officer, I meet Kiniya campers and alumni all the time and I am always impressed with their character and leadership skills. There is no better place for young women to find joy and camaraderie than the shores of Lake Champlain at Camp Kiniya.
