★★★★★Betsey PoulosWhitman Summer Camp has been amazing for my child over the past 4 summers! She loves Color War, performance routines on Fridays, and the variety of activities like Messy Day and water play. It’s been incredible to see her social skills flourish. I highly recommend Whitman for its variety of activities, color war, messy day and water play as well as its friendly and fun staff.
★★★★★Dori O'SullivanOur daughter had an amazing time at Whitman Summer Camp! She loved starting each day with 'something green' exploring the creek and, of course, the daily water play was always a highlight. Whitman Summer Camp helped her build confidence, try new things, and make friends her age. We loved the weekly themes—seeing both campers and counselors dress up made it even more fun. Highly recommend Whitman for a safe, fun, and family-oriented camp experience!
★★★★★Fernanda JaramilloMy camper loves everything about Whitman Summer Camp As a shy child, Whitman helped her come out of her shell, gain confidence, and even perform in front of others. The staff has been incredible and have become role models for her. She can’t wait to be part of the staff one day! The communication is awesome, and we continue to recommend Whitman Summer Camp to our friends.
★★★★★Michelle SmithMy daughter absolutely loves Whitman Summer Camp, and color war is always the highlight of her week! Not to mention Pizza Friday too! This summer, she tried Camp Open Road, and it was the first time she felt truly independent in a new place. The communication was great, Highly recommend it!
★★★★★Christie DisherWe absolutely love this camp! The kids enjoy being with friends and getting to choose their activities. They especially love Color War. Whitman Summer Camp has been instrumental in preparing my kids for kindergarten, helping them make new friends, and connecting with many kids in the community. I often ask how do you know them and the common answer is "I met them at Whitman". Our kids are truly happy here, and I highly recommend this camp to others!
