★★★★★Paul F.I attended a few summers in the late 1980s. Met a friend there named Jim who sadly I lost touch with, but he lived near the Forsberg Street pool in Quinsigamond Village in Worcester. We both thought a red-headed camp counselor named Lorraine was awesome. Jim cried on the bus the last day because he thought he'd never see her again. I tried to comfort him. He was a great guy and those were amazing times. I highly recommend you go to camp since you'll have memories that will last you for life.

★★★★★Rebecca SulymaCamp Blanchard is great. Our child had an incredible summer there and we will be going again next year. Loved the staff and all the fun things they did. Beautiful location.
★Lauren LThis was 2016 - Signed up for 3 weeks, and paid for 3, but I didn't feel safe sending the kids here. They would not answer my calls. Ever. Lots of teenagers taking care of the kids. Hanging out and talking with each other while the kids sat in rows waiting for something to happen. Every time I picked up early, all the children were sitting in lines already. Activities were brief. Swimming in the lake happened twice I think? during the week I sent them. No professional adults around, just teenagers. Yelling at the kids, and flirting with each other. One kid got lost according to my daughter, and they had some kind of an emergency called for a lost child where the other kids had to sit and wait in rows (again) for a long time while they looked for him. Also spoke to a Town of Sutton employee that said they almost don't get their license every year and the town is also concerned. Needs to be shut down.
