    My son is 18 and will be headed to college in the Fall. I mention this because when we spoke about…read morehis summer plans for this year, the one thing he insisted on doing was returning to the place that helped shape the caring, empathetic and kind young man he is today. Wigwam was more than just a summer on a lake playing games, eating amazing food, splashing in the water and and enjoying being a kid. It gave my son life-long friends, confidence and a deep sense of community. Wigwam was the place where he first developed a passion for water skiing. He was merely 8 years old when he first went to Wigwam and it quickly became his home away from home. Bob, the owner, is one of the most caring, kindest and warm people you will ever meet. His warmth permeates the entire camp culture and is seen in the way the staff and campers treat each other. This year my son will return as a counselor, a truly full circle moment. To see him guide and support young campers the way he was supported and guided means so much to us. We all are forever grateful to Wigwam!

    No place better on Earth. My brothers and I spent many summers (10+) here as campers and…read morecounselors, and I've sent all three of my own sons. This is a truly special camp and community that somehow has managed to keep the magic alive for more than 100 years. If you're the parent of a boy, don't think twice - just send him! He will thank you now and for the rest of his life.

    Our daughter went to Laurel South this year for her first sleep away camp experience. She was…read morenaturally nervous about the experience but the staff and atmosphere there just made it so easy for her to ease into the experience. The energy is infectious and they do a really good of communicating with parents. Bottom line: You get what you pay for and we got a lot of value for our money here. We feel extremely lucky to have the ability to send our daughter here. I know it's not for everyone as camp is expensive but they are providing 24/7 care, meals and extras. Thank you Laurel South for making this experience wonderful!

The group of friends he made over the years has already had 2 mini-reunions since returning home just 2 months ago. He has made friends for life from around the world. Our youngest is already counting the days left before next summer, which will be his 5th consecutive summer. The camp itself is spectacular. It's on a picturesque lake. The choices for activities are endless and include: sailing, water skiing, kayaking, archery, rocket making, gymnastics, cooking, drawing, swimming, fishing, tennis, soccer, baseball, and so many more. The grounds are beautifully maintained. Roger and Dagni take care of each child as though s/he was one of their own. Because the camp has such a stellar reputation, Roger and Dagni have their pick of counselors to hire. The counselors are excellent with kids, have extensive knowledge and experience with their skills, and come from all over the globe. Many work as coaches at schools during the school year. Our kids rave about the food and constantly tell us that we need to get the recipes from camp. There are chaperoned flights from many major US cities making travel to/from camp worry-free for parents. We also love that the camp offers 2 independent, 4-week sessions. The campers start and end each session with the same group of kids. The consistency of having the same kids at camp from start to finish has allowed our kids to form strong friendships and really feel part of the Laurel South family. If only adults could be campers!

    This camp overworks the young counselors and pays horribly for the amount of work and…read moreresponsibility they place on their shoulders. The parents are paying so much money and they exploit their counselors and pay them next to nothing and do....what with the rest? There was a Typhoid exposure with a kitchen worker this year and they covered it up and didn't tell the parents or anyone at camp about it until the CDC was alerted to this exposure (most likely from wherever he sought medical care) and came to inspect the camp - which the camp failed on almost all areas. They were given a certain amount of time to get it together and make the camp safe before they were going to take action and shut it down. One of the young counselors (17 years old) had an allergic reaction and their supervisor tried to make them still work instead of resting and recuperating from said allergic reaction. The administration would work the counselors like they weren't even humans. Overall, the camp's conduct and the way they treat the counselors is totally unsafe - which is also unsafe for the campers. It sounds like it used to be a nice camp, but not under the current administration.

She talks about it all the time! She says she loves the camp because she made a bunch of really great friends there, found that she loves horseback riding and sailing, and loves the experience of having time away from her everyday life. I love that these girls get to relax without the pressure of their everyday peer group and screens! She is there for weeks in a rustic environment without electronics and no complaints. Plus she says the food is great. It is a beautiful camp that we feel fortunate to have the opportunity to attend each summer for as long as possible.

    Well, there really is not enough space for me to detail all of the positive attributes of kamp…read morekohut. First introduced to the camp via neighbors back in the late 90's I was always curious about this place that local Mainers excitedly went away to for a month. When we moved from Maine to New York we wanted our two youngest to have an opportunity to explore the out of doors that their older siblings had growing up in Maine. We enrolled them in kohut and for the following 8 years watched as each summer they grew, tried new things, unplugged and fell in love with their kohut family. There are fewer more satisfying feelings of comfort with a decision, than when you drop your child off at camp and they bolt away, running into the arms of favorite counselors and friends from previous seasons. I have the pleasure of saying that one of my kids actually was a counselor for a summer, while his two siblings attended Kohut, experiencing Kohut from the "the other side". One of my favorite parts of Kohut is that kids have an opportunity to try things that maybe they wouldn't dare attempt in their everyday lives. My son developed an interest and talent for fencing, and became interested in the guitar, both while at Kohut. He has taken these experiences to higher levels, but gained that initial confidence while at camp. I'll never forget those first two summers, picking up the kids, and having them regale us with stories and songs about their favorite moments. This past summer was our last at Kohut, and I found myself tearing up as I picked up my now nearly six foot tall son, who remained in my eyes that 7 year old, in his kohut shirt standing beneath the pines. I would highly recommend Kamp Kohut to anyone considering a summer camp.
