For $10,000, you should be getting a much higher professional level of skill and education from the administration -- not a crew of half-literate, mendacious, ex-jocks. They are in desperate need of new blood as they've all been there way too long. This used to be a great camp and probably will be again in a few years when the current administration leaves due to their age and complete lack of caring. While the facilities are solid and good, they've recently had a very difficult time attracting quality, multi-summer counsellors. It's partly the pay and partly the insular directors who are aging, feckless and look out for their own over the well-being of the campers. Never a good sign and why a lot of kind, well-liked and caring counsellors have left. They are so young and clueless it's amazing. My kid put in for sailing 6 straight weeks and never got on a boat despite the counsellor saying he'd make sure it happened. No organization or leadership skills at all. The current (2015) crop of counsellors is primarily new. Lots left over the year-- many who had been there decades. Of course, it's the best ones who leave and the "screamers" or knuckleheads who stay. Their inexperience shows as the sense of kind camaraderie has been replaced by cliques. None are experienced to know what to do so the classic "mean girl" and "cool guy" cliques run rampant over the other perfectly decent kids. This would normally be noticed by directors, but they are all so old, could care less, and are oblivious to what's happening around them. That happens when you're running a camp and are 75 years old. The directors are just dialing it in and living off the old reputation for the 7 week paycheck. It's sad to see what was a great camp go downhill as these older directors turn a complete blind eye to much of the nasty behavior that you see and hear around you. It's especially a problem with the teenage level groups. Invidious jealousy, spoiled brats (many who are related to administrators) and threatening behavior don't make it fun for many campers now. The problem starts with the completely useless directors who run it and pay lip service to their well-meaning, pablum-filled beliefs that they state over and over again. It's a real shame it's fallen on such hard times. Wait for the current leaders to leave before you think about sending your kid here and look at counsellor longevity. But definitely make sure the old Directors are out of the picture and hope the new ones reinstall, a fair and caring environment based in integrity and respect. All traits that have faded with the current geriatric Directors.

She loves it so much, they do so many activities with the kids, the staff are amazing, they call you to give you updates on how your child is doing. They're responsive, kind and it feels good being able to trust your most prized possessions with the team. I rave about them to anyone that can listen. Truly amazing. I'd say any parent looking to send their kids for the summer or for short school vacations...it's worth it.

There are possibilities to live as a permanent home at the camp site if there was a theoretical zombie apocalypse. The size and capacities of the areas are good for groups of individuals. The only change would be to the living spaces as they are quite crammed compared to the size of the buildings and area. Also having a security gate and fencing would be a great addition. As when I stayed there was a bear on the loose and there is no gate really to stop it.

It is unfortunate I am writing this because the mission of Camp Wing and crossroads as a nonprofit is a good one but the mistreatment and unprofessional in the workplace they allow is not a cause worth supporting. It is 20K to have a wedding here and it could not be less worth it just for the price point alone. There is nothing special about this venue and there are many that look the same if not better for less money. Is a longtime member of the Duxbury community I feel it is important to have it be known what has happened to this place. I know many people that have worked here and have been a part of this Camp short and long term. I am even someone who sent my kids here for years but there has been disturbing things I have learned about this place. The cabins in which the overnight counselors sleep in are cramped, filthy, and uncomfortable. The food they feed to the counselors from the dining hall is absolutely awful and left multiple sick from not eating. There are many allegations from day camp employees about the unprofessionalism as many of the directors and coordinators of the day camp. I know multiple kids in the community that have worked here and said no one they worked with that summer was planning on returning the next summer either because of how awful their bosses were. When I sent my kids to this camp, it was a community and now it has been ruined. I know there has been a recent turnover in the past couple of years of a lot of positions at this camp, but it is unfortunate to see what they have done to a once great place.
