Camp Pembroke

★★★★★Sharon Goyette

My daughter's first summer at Pembroke was magical! She made lasting friendships, developed new skills, gained confidence and independence, and felt deeply connected to the camp community. She can't wait to return!

Camp Pembroke has been nothing short of life-changing for our family. Our daughter is in her third summer there, and every year gets better and better. Watching her grow in confidence, independence, and joy over these past summers has been incredible. She comes home full of stories, new skills, and stronger friendships than I could’ve imagined. From the supportive counselors to the warm, inclusive environment, Camp Pembroke truly feels like a second home for her. As a parent, sending her to Pembroke has been the best decision I’ve ever made. It’s given her a space to thrive, take on new challenges, and have the time of her life—all while feeling completely safe and cared for. If you’re even thinking about Camp Pembroke, don’t hesitate. It’s a magical place.

Pembroke is my daughter’s summer home. She feels safe and accepted and shows such growth each summer. She loves her counselors, the activities and even the food. The directors are communicative, warm and truly care about my daughter. I would send her nowhere else.

Pembroke is my daughters home away from home where their amazing summer sisters live all together in one happy place! The directors go above and beyond and treat your children like their own. All of the staff are just as amazing and family. My daughters count down the days until it is time for camp. Pembroke really thinks of every detail, they are attentive to every child and their needs, always having new and creative activities and so much more. I would highly recommend camp pembroke and know it would leave a lifetime of amazing

My daughter attended Camp Pembroke in 2018 and badly sprained her ankle and needed crutches. We would not recommend this camp, as counselors were mean to her and appropriate administration was lacking. A few examples: yelled at her for not making her bed nicely enough and do her bunk chores fast enough while she was on crutches; left her behind/struggling to catch up to the group during a photography elective and wouldn't let her take photos when she couldn't keep up; made her sit directly in the hot sun (rather than nearby shade) to watch other kids play sports--no alternative activities offered; told her that the camp nurses "had better things to do than give her ibuprofen" (which was recommended by her orthopedist). When I heard through letters that she was unhappy, I called and complained to the administration who were very unsupportive. Head counselor told me she did not have time to talk to my daughter's counselors "because she was about to leave for her day off." Head of camp never called me or did anything for my daughter even though I was told she would get involved, she chose to "let others take care of things." My daughter's hands were literally blistered and it took over one week of phone calls to get the crutch handles wrapped. I should have just brought her home (I would have if I understood how bad it was, but most of this I learned after camp ended). The camp director apologized in October (!) when they finally agreed to meet with us. I was told that camp policy is to offer alternative activities and the nurses should have made up a plan for her (What a great idea! Too bad it didn't happen.) I then spoke to the camp owner who promised to look into things and then never got back in touch. Even if your kid is healthy when they go (ours was), you want a loving, supportive atmosphere. This was a nightmare.
