★★★★★CassidyCamp is my happy place for me and my friends we’ve had so much fun during the last two years we’ve gone to camp, The activities are so much fun and all the camp songs. The cabins were cozy and it was fun meeting new people there. most of the food I enjoyed, especially the pasta and Boston cream pie. All in all this place is so much fun and a great summer camp!
★★★★★Maddie KCamp Foss IS a happy place to be. I just came back from my second time at camp a couple weeks ago, and I had the time of my life. My only complaint is that I'm so sad when I have to leave! I wouldn't recommend this camp to you if you're lazy, because you WILL have to be active every day. But otherwise, it's a totally great place! The counselors are so friendly and welcoming, there are so many fun activities, like swimming and archery, and the food is actually great. I really recommend Camp Foss, and I personally can't wait to be back!
★★★★★Kate DiMecoMy two daughters LOVED their experiences at Foss. They attended every summer of their childhood. As soon as they arrived home they’d start their countdown to when they’d return the next summer. They built so many “memories to last a lifetime “. My oldest is now a camp counselor there and loves every minute. As soon as their cousin is old enough for camp we will introduce her to Foss as well!
★★Maeve Fjust no, do not recommend this camp. Although some memories may be worth it, I will never go again. The food? Disgusting. You rarely get snacks throughout the day, dirty dirty cabins. A cockroach was in my sleeping bag. just gross. Little activities. Did i mention the water is FREEZING! They made us go in the water, my teeth were chattering from how cold it was. Pretty fun staff, they can be rude sometimes. Me and my friend went to the bathrooms during lunch, we returned and everybody had left. Our camp group had left us without any word, we had to search the camp until we found them. This makes me not want to go to any camp again! Pee on the bathroom floor, spiders EVERYWHERE. We had the shower in the dark, with bugs all around. Do better Camp Foss!
★★★★★aliixaThis camp is amazing. When I go, it is the highlight of the summer. The activities are fun, The other campers are really nice, and the staff is really friendly. But one thing I didn't really like was the swim directors would have you run or jump into the water while it was freezing. But overall, this is an amazing place and I can't wait to go back next summer :)
