Parents…read morepay a high price and it's well worth it, but they should understand that the most members of the staff (who make the campers experience such a positive one) are payed what amounts to 3 or 4 dollars an hour over the course of the summer. I'm not really sure why this is legal and mgmt's justification is that counsellors receive tips at the end of the summer. (Thank you for subsidizing some of the salaries,) but there are many committed young people who work very hard to make ever camper's summer an amazing one don't share in those tips. I'm sure the owners are doing quite well and it's a shame that a part of their success is a result of taking advantage of The young people who are so dedicated to making Kiwi a success.

I originally signed up for just 3 days for 1 week as a trial but he asked to go back the following week and they were able to get him in last minute. His counselor was Matthew and my son came home talking about him each day. He loved the bead program and the counselors are all so engaged and committed to ensuring the campers adjust well. I was so impressed with every administrator I came in contact with as well. He wasn't in to swimming so they gave him other options during that time whereas another camp made him sit in the grass for 45 minutes and watch the other kids swim. A true CAMP experience!!!

The cabin was spacious and had 3 bedrooms with full size beds, 2 bathrooms and a kitchen area. Since its almost autumn, we all brought extra blankets, which we needed because it was chilly! From the moment we arrived, the staff were nice and accommodating. We had a bonfire, that staff lit and kept going throughout the night both nights that we were there. We also had meals provided in the main lodge that were good, fresh and filling. The most fun we had were the activities available. We zip lined and played soccer, kickball and volleyball. We were supposed to rock climb, but rain had us retreating to our cabins. The wedding was beautiful and everyone had a wonderful time. We'd definitely come back for a family reunion or a weekend getaway with friends.

Things that we're not good: * cold pools * terrible staff * only care about the money * staff don't care about the drama, bullying, and/or gossip that happens * terrible activities for Sr. Camp * Counsleor's can be mean, and careless. * We (us kids) were forced to participate in things we didn't want to do. * The Owners (Rita, Joe) favored families that worked for them, and didn't care how mean there kids could be. In fact when my sibling(s) were bullied by those kids, they (Joe, Rita) brushed it off, like my sibling(s) experience was a piece of dust, they can just flick off a table.

Super fun Girl Scout Camp not too far from NYC / Westchester - about an hour, give or take…read more The great thing is that the drive up starts to feel more and more like "the country" as you get closer. It's kind of easy to miss the entrance but once you find it, you be able to park and walk to the various campsites. Not sure if this qualifies as "glamping"... There are pre-pitched tents with cots as well as cabins and bathroom buildings with showers, toilets and running water at each of the sites. Apparently there are cabins as well but I haven't seen any kids staying in them (they may be for younger kids, when they're here). There are also covered cooking areas with sinks and hearths for fire building and outdoor bonfire fire pits already cleared and ringed with large rocks. Having said that, these areas are all open to the elements, save the roofs in the cooking areas and the bathrooms / tents. Overall a very quiet, peaceful spot in the woods, with tons of trees and a beautiful lake. This is a pretty great introduction to camping for kids if they've never gone camping before.

We had such an abysmally bad experience with this camp that I feel I would be irresponsible not to…read morepost about it. After 8 years of summer bliss at Pennsylvania Girls Scout Camps we thought we would try Rock Hill. The first year we signed up they cancelled the entire season with no notice 3 weeks before it was supposed to start. This year my daughter was sent home 2 days into her first week for a conflict that was handled incredibly poorly and wouldn't even have been a bump in the road for Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania. To make matters worse they didn't even bother to follow up to discuss with us what happened. We will never go back to this camp and will happily continue driving 2 hours to wonderful Woodhaven, Laughing Waters and Mosey Wood where my daughter is happy and safely away from the drama and incompetence that seems to be plaguing Rock Hill. I'm glad others have had better experiences but beware because when things go wrong they do not know how to handle it.

Great all around day camp for campers of all ages. What I…read morefind fantastic is that the counselors for each group are hand selected, and are from countries from all around the world , and is a fantastic way to show kids that no matter where you come from, you can get along and have fun with people that you might not ordinarily have interactions with. In addition, Greg and Sally do a great job every year of showing all the campers about what it's like for kids and families all around the world who are not as lucky as they are. From an activities perspective, I don't think you'll find another camp with such diverse things for the kids to do, from zip lines and wall climbs, to archery and helping out with the animals.

Our Back Yard Play Place is more like a 3.5 than a 4 but I don't think worthy of a solid three…read morestars. This place is pretty big. Being on top of the bowling alley, this give kids and family extra time together (or separate if the kids go play by themselves while the parents bowl, which seems to be the case here). There are a great deal of inflatable bounce houses and one giant obstacle course, a ropes tower with a slide, rock wall, some arcade games, and a few birthday party rooms. For two kids to play for 1 1/2 hours was $24 total. Seemed like a pretty good deal considering there's no other place quite like this and it keeps the kids active and happy. It is dingy and there are quite a few broken arcade games that they just decide that they're never going to fix (I've been here a few times). You pay 25-50 cents per game or a dollar to play air hockey, basketball, or a motorcycle game. There are no tickets so you're really only playing to have fun, not win prizes. There is a coin machine (it's slow) to give you quarters for the games. During my most recent visit, the basketball machine broke on us so that was interesting. Other than the rinky dink "arcade" (which is kind of just scattered around the bounce houses), this is a fun place with plenty of room for the kids to run around.
