“We were a little anxious at first as this would be both our kids first time away from home for a whole week and without electronics. But, both our kids loved it so much! My daughter, in particular (12 yrs old) really loved it – everything from the bonds she formed with her cabin-mates to …

Cynthia S. – Brooklyn, NY
“We live in New York City, and this was such an amazing traditional summer camp experience for our 10-year-old son. He loved his cabin and counselors, his favorite activities were horseback riding, riflery and canoeing, and the first thing he said when I picked him up was, ‘I’m definitely coming back next year!'”
Heather L. – Waddell, AZ
“Your children only live once and for them to experience camp the way my kids did is a wonderful experience. It’s a time to let them spread their wings and fly. The staff and this camp is hands down the best. They made me feel completely 100% safe about leaving my kids in their care. …
