    My two sons are counting down the days until their 4th summer at Laurel begins. There are so many…read moreoptions out there, and I truly feel like we hit the jackpot with Laurel. While the facilities are second to none and beyond impressive, that is not what makes Laurel so special. The best part about Laurel are the people, beginning with the directors Jem and Debbie Sollinger. My kids truly love Jem. The attention that Jem gives to each camper is remarkable. He is front and center in everything going on at camp. While I'm not there to witness myself, the daily scroll through the photos paints a great picture. And it doesn't stop with Jem - the staff training is incredibly thorough and intentional. They really know how to work with kids. One of my sons struggled with some cabin relationships, but the connection he had with his counsellors and campus leaders was exactly what he needed to navigate through. Camp is a regular conversation topic in our house and each year they come back giving their summer a 10/10. They truly live "10-4-2"!

    Camp Laurel is the best decision we ever made for our children!…read moreThe directors, programming, activities, facilities and community are top quality. Nothing compares to it. The friendships our boys have made will last a lifetime. Laurel attracts wonderful families. My husband and I have also made connections with parents of campers there that are very special. We feel lucky to be a part of the unique Laurel spirit. Trust in the Directors of a camp is crucial and we have the upmost faith in Jem, Debbie and Keith. They are professional, genuine and a lot of fun. They understand that every child is an individual vs just a number. The facilities are beautiful. The food is healthy and excellent - my kids say better than at home. The cabins are always well balanced. The environment at Camp Laurel allows campers to be who they are. The staff is carefully chosen, impressive and intelligent. They encourage the children to try new things and step out of their comfort zones from home. Building confidence and skills is a gift that Laurel gives it campers.

    This family camp is a true gem - the best kind of all-inclusive vacation for families. My family of…read morefive loves it. The kids spend time by themselves, my husband and I have time alone and together, and we have time with the kids to enjoy each other as a family. The camp is large enough for the kids to exercise their independence --heading to the barn for activities or kayaking in the cove by themselves without me worrying about them. When we go, I don't cook, clean or plan anything - which as a busy mom, is the best kind of vacation. The camp is rustic and simple but very clean with beautifully manicured grounds - a space just perfect for appreciating nature. The food is delicious (I probably gained 5 lbs last week) and easily catered to special diets. I enjoyed a nice mix of structured activities (fishing, sailing, art, archery, land sports, barn dance, bingo, etc) and down time (time at the lake or for a nature walk or just to relax around the fire). I also appreciated the sense of community that camp strives to create each week among the family members. At about 10-12 families per week, it is just the right size. Can't recommend this special place highly enough and I can't wait to go back.

    Almost finished at our 1st family camp at Medomak and we are already planning to return. What a…read morespecial place. We were warmly welcomed by the amazing staff and guided to private cabin which was perfectly outfitted for our family of 4. The daily schedule has great variety and tailored the ages of all campers. The staff is knowledgeable, caring, accommodating and creates a wonderful family environment. A great place to disconnect from daily routines and reconnect with each other. It is a great place.

    EXTREMELY rude staff. My family attended bark in the park tonight & the Portland sea dogs over sold…read morethe section that we were assigned to stay in with our dog. THEN your group of campers shows up at 6 pm after the game had already started and expected us to move. There were SEVERAL of your staff that were telling us to move. And one of your employees Mr. Ewing, as we were leaving, said "we're glad you're leaving that's what we wanted." I hope you don't teach the children that go to this camp to be extremely rude to adults. Seems like your camp needs to have better time management and not show up when the game has already started and expect other fans to leave their seats they had purchased as well.

But, more important than the in camp activities were the amazing opportunities to use our Maine Guide for hiking, climbing, canoeing and learning the husbandry needed for deep woods survival. For the city kids of New York and Montreal, this was an experience that they would carry with them for a lifetime. The week long trips on the Allagash River, Rangely Lakes, and the challenging backpacking climbs to the top of Mt. Katadin and the dangerous footfalls along Knife's Edge, were as physically demanding as they were awe inspiring. It was a right of passage and accumulation of grace to watch urban kids who were so accustomed to one world, slowly evolve and grow in the skills needed to camp in the wild and learn appreciation for the natural universe. To become stronger and wiser by doing things so alien to their upbringing, and to return year after year to further growth, was what Modin was all about. That Camp Modin was successful in molding their campers into better people is measured by the fact that it is entering its 99th year. Only those who's souls were transformed in the Maine woods would fully understand the importance it could have in the lives of their children and generations thereafter. It was my good fortune to play a small part in that magical process.

    We came here for a wedding, which is the context of this review…read more The staff had plenty of golf carts helping guests with the rather long walk to get to the wedding setting. This was helpful and staff seemed engaged and interested in helping. The setting for the wedding was lake side, very picturesque for a fall afternoon. They had adequate seating and benches set up. It was a very nice ceremony which the setting contributed to. Reception and meal was at the main lodge. There is a large outside deck which was nice for mingling during the pre meal drinks and waiter server appetizers. Dinner was buffet style inside the lodge. There was adequate staff and things went smoothly for a crowd of about 150. Food was ok, I'd give it an average rating. Entertainment was an outdoor canvas covered band with a decent dance floor. This was well done. All in all, this is a good wedding venue, if this is what you are looking for. They handled this crowd of 150 with no noticeable snafus. I'd give it 3 1/2 stars....Solid spot.

When I was allowed a call with him The camp administrator Martha Lerman/owner told him to lie and say he was having fun. I 100% regret sending my son to this camp and picked him up early against Marthas advice.
