This past summer, my 10-year-old daughter went to Falcon Camp for two weeks, and it ended up being…read moreone of the best experiences she's ever had. It was her first time being away from home for more than a night, so we were both a little nervous. She said she was homesick for one night and by the next morning she was busy riding horses, trying new things and making new friends! By the last day, she didn't want to leave. She actually cried because she had made such amazing memories and wanted to stay longer. As a parent, it was so heartwarming to see her gain confidence and independence while being surrounded by such amazing staff and a positive environment. Falcon Camp truly gave her a summer she'll never forget, and she's already planning on going back this year for the full summer. Best overnight camp ever!

Fantastic Summer camp for kids! If I could give 6 stars I would!! Established in 1959 they…read moreabsolutely know what they are doing, from admissions to check in/out and communications they were great for two Summers in a row now...Both of my kids went to the 2 week camp this Summer but they offer 4, 8 week camps as well and all Summer camps. Activities include horse back riding, kayaking, sailing, shooting (.22), archery, theater, crafts and many more. Two thumbs up and that comes from my kids not only me!!

In 1995, my parents sent me to Camp Whitewood for a week during the summer. Little did I know that…read moresome of the skills I learned during camp would be useful even now. I'm not sure how much has changed over the years but it was easily one of the best weeks of my life. I learned archery, kayaking, canoeing & embossing. At the time, you could pay $5.00 and choose to make any craft that they had to offer; I still have a wooden dog I painted (if you press it's nose it plays music) and it was the first time I ever participated in a scavenger hunt. The camp grounds were always kept very clean, the staff was amazing and it was nice to see that the property is exactly as I left it. I attended a wedding here today & would recommend Camp Whitewood to anyone looking for an affordable & alternative wedding venue. Although our friends explained to us that you cannot have alcohol unless you rent all six buildings but this didn't ruin our evening. The building they choose had two bathrooms, a decent sized kitchen, a large stage & plenty of room for eating & dancing. Younger children might be bored as there isn't a playground; however, you can enjoy a fire pit or a stroll through the woods. All the buildings, with the exception of the cabins, are handicap accessible . There's also plenty of parking in a secluded area surrounded by nature. So weather you're considering hosting your next event here or having your children stay for a week or two; Camp Whitewood is the place to be!

The goal of 4-H Camp Whitewood is for each camper to grow in appreciation, respect, and knowledge of: oneself, those living things with whom the camper shares the Camp environment: the relationship to one's peers, the adults who help at camp, and the creatures and plants living in the surrounding environment.

Talk about holding something ransom, clean your room or no 4-H Camp; you better get good grades or no 4-H Camp; what, you want to talk back to your parents ... It works, for the most part. Both of my daughters have been attending the 4-H Camp for two years and we have been doing some extra curricular activities there for four years also. This is one of the best summer camps that I have ever seen or been a part of and I believe that my daughters would agree with me. If you want or need something all you have to do is ask and if they can accommodate you they will. Anthony, the camp director, ensures that safety and fun are the top priority once you arrive. If you do go please be sure that you do the High Ropes with Haley.

I attended Faith Ranch for an overnight trip with my daughter's scouting group…read more When we arrived we were greeted by several cats, peacocks and a friendly staff. Our group was staying in the main house and we were in one of the upstairs rooms. It was about what I was expecting. Three bunk beds. The one negative is that it was HOT in there. It would have been great to have a fan, The food was delicious (noodles and ground beef, sausage/egg casserole and chili). A highlight for me was the hayride. Probably because we all had a chance to be together and it was a nice long ride The only reason I didn't give them five stars was because they couldn't accommodate larger riders. I totally understand that they are live animals and can't take excessive weight. But it was still disappointing that I wasn't able to join my daughter for the ride.

I would NOT send you children here. My daughter has attended other week long camps this summer and…read moredid great. However this camp was the complete opposite. On Tuesday she got sick with an ear infection, she told her counselor several times Tuesday and also Wednesday and all she did was get an attitude with her and do nothing but ignore the fact that she was sick . My daughter has chronic ear problems to the point of were she needs hearing aides. Finally on Thursday after her complaining for a third day to her counselor she reluctantly said ok to taking her to the nurse. On Thursday she had seen the nurse and I was in contact with her trying to get her medicine order for an inner ear infection that she suffered with for days before being seen for it. I asked several times and for hours to speak with her and they kept telling me I couldn't. Not realizing that my daughter was also asking for 3days to speak with me. Finally after 3 days and several hours I got a call from her. A male and female called and put us on speaker phone so they could hear everything I was talking about with my daughter even after asking for them to take us of speaker and they pretended they did. I knew something was wrong with the way she was stuttering which is a nervous thing she does. She also started crying and only kept saying she was fine and did nothing want picked up. I came to find out that before calling me my daughter was directed on what to say to me. What she was allowed to talk about and what she was not allowed to talk to me about. The whole phone call she was being told what she was able to say to me. She wanted to come home for she did not feel well but I wasn't allowed to know that. Who has the right to make my daughter feel the way she did and to be scared to not only talk to me but to ask them for help. I would never send her here again and or will never recommend this camp to others. It is a disgrace that my child was treated and felt the way that she did while attending camp and not being able to confine on me enough to go and pick her up. The should be ashamed of themselves.
