★★★★★Brittany WhalenThank you camp Cory for an amazing experience for my son, he started out nervous and not knowing if he was going to like it, in the end he loved it, thanks to all your amazing kind and friendly staff, staying connected. All the different activities you offer the kids, the time spent with them, well worth it, he will be coming back again next year, thank you for all the pictures as well!
★★★★★Melina DempseyWe sent our 10 year old daughter to Camp Cory this summer while spending time in the Finger Lakes and she had a wonderful experience! We have sent her to a variety of camps over the years and this one is at the top of her list. We tried the day camp for her first time but she really wants to attend the Overnight Camp in the future. She really enjoyed the water activities, art, and archery. As a parent, I really appreciate the inclusive environment of this camp. Thank you to the wonderful counselors!
★★★★★Tara AnnOur kids love this camp so much! It’s their first summer, ages 4 and 8, and since the very first day - all they could talk about is how much they love camp. They asked us to pick them up as late as possible and drop them off earlier. It is really a remarkable camp with a remarkable staff. We signed up for the meal plan too and they love the food. The camp has so many fun activities and is right on the lake. Even on rainy days, they are prepared for everything. It makes us extremely grateful to know how happy our kids are. We look forward to many more summers at Camp Cory!
★★★★★Deirdre MacDonaldCamp Cory made my son’s first sleep away camp experience a lasting and amazing one. His Dad attended this camp 40 years earlier and always had such amazing memories of the fun and inclusive atmosphere this camp provided him. It’s wonderful to see this has not changed. The counselors and bunk mates looked out for our son, knowing it was his first time, and embraced him. He can’t wait to go back next Summer (although he just got home today). Thank you Camp Cory for an excellent experience!
