★★★★★Craig SchicklerWe are so happy to have chosen Camp Laurel as our family’s summer camp. When our children first started at Laurel we were really impressed with the beautiful facilities, diverse activity selection and amazing opportunities that Maine has to offer. Thanks to the attentive and warm Directors, Jem & Debbie, our boys instantly felt at home and were always greeted with a big hug or a fist pump. Each summer since, Laurel has exceeded our expectations. They maintain long-standing and loved traditions while continually innovating wth new program ideas. Everything is done with intention and a commitment to making it the best summer yet, while still focusing on creating a safe and nurturing environment. As a family we feel deeply connected to Laurel and couldn’t imagine a better sleep away camp experience for our children.
★★★★★Dana BaronCamp Laurel is amazing! Not only is it beautiful but it offers a program second to none. Jem and Debbie are exceptional directors and the staff is top notch. Kids can take advantage of a wide range of activities and really focus in on what they love. They have so many fun activities going on, the kids are constantly engaged. They also have awesome out of camp trips! My kids love it and we are so happy there!
★★★★★Jeffrey BershadMy wife and I are very happy that our daughter and son spend their summers at Camp Laurel. It is a community where they are able to explore new activities, make new friends and, in the process, gain maturity, confidence and independence. Laurel offers a very comprehensive range of sports and non-sports activities, balanced with the traditional summer camp activities and events you imagine. The staff makes sure these choices are not overwhelming and both kids love having access to all the activity choices camp offers. In addition, the experienced and deep staff – from Jem, Debbie and Keith, to the head counselors, campus leaders, bunk and activity counselors - are always enthusiastic and inclusive. They are all knowledgeable and skilled instructors of the activities they run. The facilities, courts and playing fields cover every area of interest and are very well maintained. We look forward to each evening’s photo posting, getting a smile or action shot. Camp Laurel is their summer home.
★★★★★EDEN JURICKI can truly say Camp Laurel is my favorite place in the world. I started camp when I was 7 turning 8 in the 2009 summer. I have recently finished my 8th and final summer as I was a Super Senior. Laurel has taught me how to be a leader and has let me grow into the person I am today. I am eternally grateful for all the love and support from the Laurel family that is really like nowhere else. Camp Laurel has given me opportunities I never knew I was capable of which I will always be thankful for. I am proud to now and forever be a Laurel camper.
★★★★★Josh PhillipsSince the day camp ended last summer, our daughter has been looking forward to the first day of this coming summer. She constantly talks about the friends she made, the activities she loved (especially Dance, Rock Climbing, and Theater), and most significantly, the counselors she adored, admired, and idolized. It is the people at Camp Laurel that make it so special; from Jem and Debbie, the Directors, to the athletics and arts instructors to the cabin counselors – everyone at Camp Laurel cares deeply about ensuring the campers are well-cared for, loved, and have the best summer camp experience. As parents, we could not be happier about sending our daughter to Laurel. We know that she will be safe and over-the-moon happy. The facilities are second to none, there are so many fun activities that are offered, and even the food is amazing. In addition, we can promise you that Laurel pays attention to all of the details – from a top-notch Health Center to an unbelievable Visiting Day experience. Finally, what is not to love about Maine? The Laurel campus is on a beautiful lake set in the woods of Maine – it is awesome. We cannot imagine a better place to send your child for the summer and strongly recommend Camp Laurel!
