    • DO NOT GO HERE I...

      DO NOT GO HERE!!! I went to this camp and the way it was ran and the head staff were horrible. I got treated like I was 10 (I'm 15) and you could tell the staff didn't care about you. It was like a prison at the campground and you can get sent home for the smallest things. I know my friend snuck out to go stargazing snd got caught and they sent her home but when waiting to be picked up from 1-8 they didn't feed her dinner and locked her in a room, also not letting her talk to anyone say goodbye to any one or get peoples contact info. They treated her like a criminal.

    • Camp is the only place I can really be me...make my own decisions, and be responsible for myself!

    • My daughter had a delightful time! I was so happy to see her have some time towards developing her own interests and goals. It is gratifying to see that she is already including her first overnight camp as a major milestone in her life. Thank you for giving Julia a special lifetime memory.

    • Before I came to camp I was a very shy person. Here I learned to stop being shy. I made so many new friends who were very nice to me that I didn't feel homesick. My friends always asked me questions about my home country and my friends. I enjoyed telling them about my life in Ghana. At camp I learned new skills and taught my friends some games we play at home. I even got to perform in front of the whole camp at the closing campfire. I will miss my camp friends so much.

    • Camp Friendship is my home away from home. After 5 summers at camp I learned so many new skills and met so many great people. Before I didn't speak any English but now I have no problems using it. I also enjoy waterskiing at Lake Anna. I enjoy trips out of camp especially a trip to Kings Dominion. I miss camp and can't wait to come back.

    • I liked camp because I could make up my own schedule for each week. I especially liked playing sports with my American friends. At night I always had evening activities and I especially enjoyed campfires and marshmallows. When I go home I will tell all my friends to go to this camp.
