★★★★★Penny MitchellWent 2 years in a row. Then my son went 2 yrs in a row. My grandson will go next.
★★★★★Dangerous BytchI remember this place as a kid. In the foster care system. They would pick us up downtown at the social service building. I mean it was a lot of kids on a charter bus. They tried hard to teach me how to swim, I still don’t know how to. lol! I loved the activities. I hated archery as well. I caught athletes foot from the James River, I still didn’t care. lol! The second year they separated my sis and I. I had to fend for myself. I met some really cool kids. I was super, I mean beyond super shy back then. Great camp back then!
★★★★★Andrew DooleyThe Jamestown 4H staff is always a delight to work with and is responsive to our group's needs: Stephanie/Stoke and the rest of the crew! Our volunteers and campers love the bathrooms in the cabins. Everything is so centrally located and convenient and the view of the river is refreshing. Highly recommend this campsite!
★★Sarah FerrellI am basing my review off of one day of sending my kids to spring break day camp. My kids were very disappointed in the day. They had advertised many outdoor activities but did not do any of them, they were only allowed to play on the playground or play inside. They were offered some string to make friendship bracelets with. They said they did take one walk to the beach but were not allowed to touch anything or take their shoes off. They were not taught anything about wildlife or outdoor skills. The whole day was just daycare. They said that the man even promised a fire with somores several times and then later said no I actually can't do that. The activities were not cancelled due to weather as it was a beautiful 74 degree day with no rain. I did not expect them to do all of the advertised activities in one day but I thought they would at least do one. There was no communication from staff that there was some reason for not doing much that day. I am sure that this place can be awesome, they do have activities. My kids said they have archery equipment, they have a low ropes course, ECT. My kids did say they would rather just go to a park with me so a win on that front! Overall if you are in need of a place for your kid to go for a day just to be watched I would recommend the day camp spring break. But if you we're looking for an enriching day with lots of fun activities I would not recommend.
