★★★★★Roy SimpsonI came to Camp Lincoln thinking I would hate it. I loved it. It does something to you. You will have fun, whether you're hanging out with friends in the Cubs Den, Giant, or Whiteface, or doing jumps off the tower at DBT. Best time of my life.
★★★★★John NaitoveI went to Camp Lincoln for 6 years starting when I was 8 years old. It prepared me forever for my love of the mountains, rivers, and lakes. I learned to hike, camp, sail, canoe, ride horses, shoot a rifle and a bow and arrow, play tennis, and to be a good steward for the environment. Both of my sons went there as well and loved it as much as I do. The camp has avoided the siren song of technology and remains committed to the basics of camp and outdoor life even to this day. I have recommended it to many others who have sent their sons and daughters there and who feel the same way.
★★★★★Dave GibsonI was a counselor for 6 and proudly sent my daughter. She loved it. This is a true traditional camp that teaches real life skills that a kid could never get anywhere else. I can't say enough. Go.
★★★★★IsaiahJacob Toy TimeThis place is a life changer....I went and now my children go. My FAVORITE family members! This place gives kids a chance to be real kids! Put down your gizmos and gadgets and get outside! It lets kids find their strength and builds confidence. I adore the staff and the grounds are breath taking. This place made me into the person I am today. Every summer I attended and became a “7 year survivor “ I still am in contact with so many friends I made there..... NCC is essential, in my eyes.
★★★★★Samuel JackTHis summer will be my fourth year at North Country Camps. This place changed my life. I look forward to it all year. My first year, I was only going to stay for 5 weeks. When my parents arrived to pick me up, I begged them to stay longer. Its my favorite place in the world and I wouldn't give it up for anything. I would recommend this place for everyone.
