★BellaIt was a great experience for the kids! Unfortunately we had Alana I believe her name was as our tour guide and she was extremely condescending and rude to the kids when correcting them when not listening or messing around, she did not smile once it seemed as if she hated her job. Kids are supposed to have fun at these types of things so it’s expected for them to mess around but it should be handled with a smile on your face and a nicer tone than she did.
★★★★★Susan WendlandtUpham Woods is nature's Disneyland! I highly recommend Upham Woods to any organization that is seeking beautiful scenic views, a great staff and a new conference room ,hiking trails both on the main land and Blackhawk Island.
★★★★★Giada CastreeI have been going to the whole-wide camp for 2 years, and ever since Its been so fun. People are nice, so are the counselors, and the staff. Love them so much, and the jokes and fun times are the best. I would never say less about the rating I gave this camp, I will and always love the memories and the campfires we all watched. Camp was so joyful, letting me go as a teen to spend summer. Had tears at the end of every year, going home and feeling loved from all the counselors and boys and girls and others who helped me through it. Love it forever.
