★★★★★Veronica HeiselmoyerMy daughter talks all year long about her summers at Camp Oneka. This place is truly a magical place for girls! I love seeing daily pictures and activities my daughter does everyday, the emails with updates and the letters we receive in the mail from my daughter. She has grown so much from attending camp and loves trying new activities with friends. We really look forward to more summers to come at Camp Oneka! Thank you for all you do for our precious girls :)
★★★★★C CataláWhat an incredible experience for our daughter! The Facilities are outstanding and staff very caring and eager to facilitate a genuine and exciting camping experience. We got daily summaries and pics of their activities. As a parent of a first time sleep away camper - I felt reassured that she was in a very safe and nurturing environment. She was beaming with pride from her accomplishments there and returned as a more independent and responsible young lady. This was Without a doubt the best Summer Camp experience my daughter has had! 5 stars. I highly recommend it!
★★★★★Janet RaganI'm not sure where to begin! EVERYTHING about Camp Oneka was an amazing experience for my daughter and for us as first timers. The owners and staff are just amazing and full of encouragement and support. This camp has it right from start to finish. Back to the basics and full of LakeLife fun and new experiences. Thank you for an amazing experience for our daughter. VERY impressed! We❤️CampOneka!
★★★★★Clay LepleyThis place is one of a kind special. Your daughter will have a lifetime of special memories. The owners, counselors, and staff are everything you could hope for. They are hands-on, engaging, warm. Do yourself a favor and raise an Oneka Girl!
★★★★★Catherine FoxOur daughters have attended for 4 years now and come home counting the days until its time to go back!! Dale and Barb Doehner do an excellent job of running the camp and getting to know each child. The counselors are excellent, many are home grown - former campers becoming counselors. I have nothing but great things to say about Camp Oneka! Highly recommended for the best camping experience for your girls.
