    My daughter went to Camp Anokijig for mini camp as a 7 year old. She really enjoyed herself, and…read moreis excited to return this summer for an entire week. Yes, summer camp has bugs and tents and the great outdoors - I don't see that as a negative. There are plenty of summer camps that cater to all types of kids, including those that need internet and air conditioning in order to have a good time. My favorite part about the programming at Camp Anokijig is the amount of self-directed choices each camper gets to make, every day. Skills are chosen once they arrive at camp. There are multiple free periods each day, where all camp activities are fully staffed and the campers get to choose what they want to do. These campers get more age-appropriate independence and the opportunity to make their own decisions during one week at Camp Anokijig than they do anywhere else.

    BEWARE - Not Safe or Suitable for First-Time Campers…read more This camp was a traumatic experience for my son and his friend, who was attending sleepaway camp for the first time. The accommodations were extremely poor--my son described cracks in the floors where you could see the ground, spider webs everywhere, and a general sense of neglect. Campers were not allowed to use outlets to charge personal fans, even though temperatures reached 100 degrees. Twenty people were crammed into one un-airconditioned bunkhouse. Meanwhile, counselors were using outlets for their phones and had snacks and energy drinks in the cabin--despite a stated no-food policy. My son also mentioned that counselors slept on both sides of him, which he found unsettling. He didn't shower the entire time because of long lines and limited availability. He was so relieved just to shower when he got home. Cabins were not locked at night, and the tent accommodations were practically open to the elements--walls weren't even attached, so without a net, campers were exposed to bugs and the outdoors. Everything felt bare bones and worn out, like it hadn't been updated in 100 years. The camp seems to have invested in a new shelter, but neglected critical needs like air conditioning or an improved commissary. The food was limited, and my son, a normally good eater, barely ate. Snack shop lines were 40-50 kids long--completely disorganized. Adding water misters or a pool would help with the extreme heat, especially since the lake was brown and murky. My son refused to swim in it--he loves the water, so this speaks volumes. Because he didn't take the swim test in that water, he was not allowed to use most boats--even with a life jacket. At night, it was pitch black. No nightlights, no reading quietly in bed--just total darkness, which scared him. He was even yelled at for running--apparently, there's a no-running policy. That completely baffled me. The only bright spot was the nursing staff--my son felt well taken care of medically. But overall, the experience was very upsetting. I received an alarming note three days after drop-off and had to pick him up early. We were forced into a full-week session (the only available slot), even though we preferred the half-week. So we lost money on top of everything else. When I asked a counselor about how he did, I got no feedback. They didn't even consult with the counselors who were actually with my son. Later, he told me he was hit in the head with a golf club--yet no incident report or communication was ever sent to us. In conclusion: If your child is new to sleepaway camp, this is NOT the place for them. The accommodations are poor, the rules are confusing, and the supervision questionable. My son was in tears at pick-up and continued to tear up throughout the evening as we talked about his experience.

    They would not allow my daughter to call me even after she was injured on a tubing ride. The…read moreaccommodations are not focused on safety of the children. Parents are not allowed to talk to their children on the phone or in person. I would not recommend this camp. It is very scary and they do not properly vet the camp counselors, nor cabin leaders.

    I've been here twice as a staff member for a week-long camp through my church: once as a counselor…read moreand once as an activity coordinator. We stayed in the cabins, ate in one of the cafeterias, and spent most of our time by the beach, in the wood shop, in the chapel (way too cold -- someone turn that air-conditioning down please!), and in the game room pavilion. The cabins were as clean as cabins could be with some bugs (it's summer camp, what do you expect?). One bathroom wasn't enough for a room of ten girls, though! The wood shop was cool, and the girls enjoyed hanging out on the beach nearby, jumping in the water or fishing from the pier. The game room pavilion had chairs and some games to play, but it wasn't as appealing as playing in the park, which was in the middle of everything. The cafeteria/kitchen staff was also very accommodating of my request for vegetarian food. The first year, I was too nervous about asking for special food since it was free, so I just dealt with it and ate meat for a week. The second year, there were more vegetarians among the camp volunteers, so we felt more comfortable asking for vegetarian food. They did a great job remembering us and offering alternative foods. The camp and conference center also has a lagoon, paddle boats, canoeing, a paintball arena, sand volleyball, a gym, some high-ropes course thing, and different paths through the woods for team-building or hiking. Great options and great, friendly staff. There's also a lot of other lodging options and other spots to dine, but our kids didn't spend their time there. I guess three camps could occur at the same time. It's just a summer camp spot, but it's a great spot. I'm looking forward to next year!
