Powered by GoogleBoth of my kids have now gone to Kenwal for years. It is a wonderful camp where the children have fun, their confidence grows, and families always feel supported. Whether it is the incredible drama program, sports or travel opportunities that us parents wish we could partake in, Kenwal exceeds expectations. They communicate effectively, operations are second to none, and most importantly, you always feel they care. It is the summer camp you always wanted!
Words cannot convey how much we absolutely LOVE this camp! Both of my children have attended, and I truly can’t imagine sending them anywhere else. From the first moment I met them, I could tell how much the Howie and the ENTIRE staff genuinely cares about every child. They go above and beyond to make each camper feel welcome, safe, and excited to be there. The counselors and directors are incredibly accommodating, kind, and responsive. They make everything so easy for parents and create an environment where the kids can have fun, build confidence, and make lifelong memories. My children look forward to camp every single summer and come home every day smiling, full of stories, and already excited to go back. It’s rare to find a place that consistently exceeds expectations year after year, but this camp does exactly that! We are so grateful to have found them. Send your children to Kenwal! Five stars isn’t enough!
Kenwal is an amazing Camp!!!! My daughter has been going to Kenwal for three summers and I have to admit this has to be the best summer Ever. They strive to keep the kids engaged and the Drama Club plays blow me away. My friends Daughter attends the Merrick Theater camp all summer and I have to admit the Kenwal Plays are more well written and keep the audience more entertained. You definitely get your money's worth and then some. Kenwal also teaches the girls how to be young ladies and the boys to be gentleman. That is huge with the world we are living in today. I am a working mom and I drop my daughter off with piece of mind knowing my daughter is well taken care of. Don't walk run to the Kenwal website to sign up your child. You will not be disappointed
We have looked at other camps in the past and nothing compared to feeling like Kenwal was perfect choice for all our kids. We wanted to make sure there were activities for each of our 4 children. My older 2 children love the trips and my 2 youngest love just being outdoors and all the special events. We are in our 3rd year and my kids look forward to coming back every year! The owner Howie makes everyone feel welcome and excited to come to camp. All staff are amazing!
My daughter is in her 2nd year at Kenwal Day Camp (she is 9) and is literally having the best summer of her life! They are non stop with activities and special days and trips....it's so great! The counselors and the upper staff are wonderful with the children. It is such a well run and organized camp! Highly recommend!
