Powered by GoogleThe best place ever! I’m forever grateful for my time at Horizons, where I had the perfect summer camp experience - archery, swimming, canoeing/kayaking, arts and crafts, hiking, camping, and the warmest community of campers and counselors. I spent 10 summers here, eight as a camper and two as a counselor, and would give anything to go back for just one more day as a kid. My words don’t do the memories justice.
Horizons Day Camp will always hold a special place in my heart. I was a camper for five summers, and I worked there this past summer. Being a camper felt like a dream. I only went for one session per summer, but it was undoubtedly my most favorite two weeks of the year. I loved that I went to numerous departments daily, and I always looked forward to what I was going to learn at camp that day. Horizons made learning new skills super easy, fun, and accessible. From learning how to underwater basket weave, to shooting a bow and arrow, to steering a canoe, these are only some of the skills that contributed to the outdoorsy person I am today. I also remember the friendships I made with fellow campers in my cabin as well as with the counselors; these memories will undoubtedly stay with me for the rest of my life.
Horizons, and the Aloha Foundation programs more broadly, seem to have hit upon the winning formula. After trying most of the well-regarded camp programs in our region, my kids keep begging to go back to Horizons and Hulberts. The camps' incredible staff creates a warm community where kids have the autonomy to try new things, gain new skills and just be kids. Full-day programs with lunches and snacks included also give busy parents a welcome breather.
As a camper at Horizons I made many wonderful memories exploring Lake Fairlee, learning new skills, and making amazing friends with other campers and my supportive counselors. As a counselor at Horzions, every summer is a magical experience full of laughter and many adventures.
Horizons undoubtedly shaped the person I am today. Horizons is where I learned hard skills like how to build a campfire, sailing, how to handle a canoe on a windy summer afternoon, how to identify poison ivy, swim with confidence, and shoot a bow and arrow. Probably more importantly, my 8 summers as a camper and 3 as a staff member taught me dining room etiquette, problem solving, to care for our environment, how to advocate for myself and others, the importance of having a supportive community, and gave me to ability to take pride in my accomplishments big and small. As someone who grew up in one of the Upper Valley's wonderful but small and insular communities Horizons gave me the opportunity to not only meet peers from other area schools, around the US, and abroad, but also provided me with staff role models from all over.
