★★★★★Brooke BennettMy child has attended lake Nixon summer camp every summer for 4 years. This kid is very hard to please but, he's obsessed with it. He makes friends. He loves all the counselors. They always keep the kids active and busy. He gets tons of exercise and time in the sun. It's a huge camp and they never run out of activities. This year I believe it had new ownership but quality did not suffer. In fact there was a little bit of an upgrade to the pickup and drop off area. We loved the themed weeks. He was very excited when Santa visited for Christmas in July. I cannot think of a single complaint. I'm so glad he has somewhere to go every summer that I can feel really good about in a multitude of ways.
★★★★★Katy CampbellMy kid absolutely loves this place! We've enrolled 5 summers in a row and it just keeps getting better. The director they hired a couple years ago has gone above and beyond to really make things top notch. He's focused on ways to engage the kids in a wide variety activities. I cannot recommend Lake Nixon enough - such a wonderful asset to our city!
★★★★★James PruittExciting things are happening at Lake Nixon. They are constructing new biking/hiking trails. A 1.75 mile long trek that will have 2 new trails attached through the rolling hills on the north side of Cooper Orbit Road.
★★★★★CAREY SELLERSWonderful experience!! My 8 year old son spent four weeks participating in the Lake Nixon programming, and we could not be more thrilled with his experience and growth. Mike Simmons and his talented staff did an excellent job of organizing and implementing meaningful activities in the spirit of fun! They did such a great, great job making my little guy feel valued and safe. Thank you Mr. Mike and the awesome counselors and staff!
★★★★★Lynnette RanciferMy child had an amazing summer. I love the staff and the activities they have set up for the kids. The communication is great and the camp is well priced. It has the feel of a sleep away camp. My child had a wonderful experience and I am grateful. Also, they have transportation for children so I could pick my child up at camp or there are locations for bus pick up and drop off.
