★★★★★Doug HendryMy daughter has been going to Rambling Pines for three years now. I cannot say enough about this camp as a whole. The office staff are helpful, pleasant and move quickly during every interaction I’ve had. The counselors are kind and helpful and my daughter has loved each one more than the last. Even the bus driver is wonderful. The camp staff has even been kind and helpful when my daughter was causing some minor issues with her cousin while at camp. A+++ across the board.
★★★★★Chris BestMy wife went to Rambling Pines as a child and has wonderful memories of going. Our three children have been campers for several years and they love it. The camp is well organized, the counselors are amazing, and the kids have a fun time. They learn skills such as swimming, hiking, fishing, etc. We highly recommend Rambling Pines!
★★★★★Sarah Dobson FullemThis is the third season my kids have attended Rambling Pines Day Camp and every summer I'm always so happy I decided to send them. From the fantastic staff to the wonderful activities, my kids come home happy and full of wonderful summer memories. I never worry when they are at Rambling Pines knowing that they are well cared for and are having the time of their lives. I could not recommend this day camp enough.
★★★★★David ShapiroMy daughter went to multiple camps in the Princeton/Pennington, area, and year after year enjoyed them, but was never fully satisfied. Then she went to Rambling Pines. The environment they provided for her was incredible! She loved it. It was the only camp she actually asked us to extended her time there for the following season. The Jordan family are committed to providing their campers a really fun and engaging time, with a lot of activities, in a very well maintained camp setting. 5 Star Ratings. I highly recommend. Thanks.
★★★★★Amy O'DonnellMy first grade daughter will be spending her 4th summer at Rambling Pines, and we couldn't be happier! There are so many reasons that we love this camp: the bus service that picks her up at our door, the awesome facilities (including 2 pools, mini golf, large indoor gym, arts room, horses etc.), the very high staff to child ratio, the kind and creative staff, the yummy kid-oriented lunches and snacks, and so much more. My daughter comes back every day with a smile on her face, ready to tell me all her adventures, and in my opinion that is what summer should be!
