★★★★★Asha BelarskiMy daughter has gone to camp the last 4 years and loved the experience. She has enjoyed crafts, games, outdoor adventures and meeting new friends. The counselors have been supportive and fun and she can’t wait to go back again this summer!
★★★Monica TaylorRe: 2008. Went for school for the Underground Railroad reenactment. It was definitely memorable. Talking about it later, people look at you like you're crazy and ask if you're alright. There was a moment of genuine fear during it.
★★★★★S R (Shari)My son and his best friend have been going there for 4 years and every year they come back more confident. They have had so much fun and have learned so many things that they would have never had the opportunity to do otherwise. They have made memories and gone on fun adventures. This is a great camp! I highly recommend for any kid whether they are shy or outgoing. This camp has literally been a positive life changing experience for my son in particular. He went in shy and each year comes back more confident and has found his voice. The counselors are fun and supportive. Again, I highly recommend.
