    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.

    For ninety years, boys (and for the past thirty years girls, too,) have flocked each summer to Camp…read moreRobin Hood on the shores of Broad Bay, to make new friends in the cabins, to challenge themselves on the fields, to step out of their comfort zone on the stage, and to form bonds that last a lifetime, and in some cases generations. I'm proud to say my family has been part of the Camp Robin Hood family for more than 40 of those years! My brother attended camp when it was all boys - and then in 1987 when girls were added, I was one of the first girl campers (at the time, there were less than 20 of us). I spent 15 summers as a camper, counselor, Group Leader and Waterfront Director. Now the girls and boys camps are equal in size (around 400 total campers) and my oldest daughter will be starting her 4th summer while my twins will be going for the first time. Many traditions are still the same (color war, count-offs, 16 laps, hiking Mount Washington, etc.) while facilities have been updated (new dining hall, several new cabins - others have been renovated, new lodge, updated office, and more) and more activities have been added (Ga-Ga, 9 square and more). I am grateful that my children will get to spend 7 weeks together, away from the hustle and bustle of their school lives with NO SCREENS, enjoying all the White Mountains have to offer. For me, one of the most exciting parts has been watching the never-ending cycle of camp friendships continue, campers often continue through the ranks as counselors in order to "give back" similar memories and experiences to the future generations of the camp. Additionally, the mid-western feel to the camp is a nice change from the fast-past New England world where we live. As a camper, I looked up to the counselors and even the Directors. The Directors today are former campers from the 1970's themselves, and former "camp parents" as well. They have brought Robin Hood traditions forward while continuing to enhance what they offer in the 21st century. And they understand the responsibility they are entrusted with each summer, caring for our children. As a parent, I have found the communication from the Administration both helpful (in preparing for camp and for my children's return after camp) and comforting, when I just want to know my kids are having fun and adjusting to life away from their parents. We have a few sayings at Robin Hood, like "live 10 for 2"(live 10 months of the school year for the 2 months of summer) and there's "magic in the trees". There's nothing quite like the sunset over Lake Ossipee or like camp friends that remain friends for life. There's nothing quite like Camp Robin Hood. I know my family is looking forward to being a part of Robin Hood for at least 90 more years...

    When I went to this camp (about 20 years ago), I was 7 years of age. It was one of the most…read moretraumatic experiences of my life. Truly. They had an old ghost story that went like this: Years and years ago the youngest camper went for a swim in the lake at night and drowned. He was a local kid and his mother went crazy. Her name was Annie. To this day, every July 4th, Crazy Annie comes out of the woods and takes and kills the youngest camper in retribution for the unfair drowning of her son years ago. As I was that youngest camper, Crazy Annie was coming for me! It was brought up at many a camp fire and none of the campers or counselors told me it wasn't a real story. Remember, I had JUST turned 7 less than a month earlier. Already scared of the dark, I was petrified my entire time there. The night of July 4th, Counselors in training (CIT's) positioned themselves on top of my cabin, under it, in the nearby woods and elsewhere awaiting my arrival back to my cabin. As I walked up the hill to my cabin, counselors and campers wished me farewell and good luck. I was frozen with fear. As the CITs spent hours screeching my name from outside, I can't tell you the horror I felt. I was too afraid to leave the cabin to go to the bathroom! My counselor dragged me out yelling anyway! Other cabins laughed and locked their doors in case I tried to run for shelter and help. That coming weekend was parents' visiting day. When my mother arrived I had no clean clothes and a temperature of 103 degrees Fahrenheit . I would categorize this as child abuse and gross negligence. Be very careful to ensure this camp has changed enormously before sending your child there. Horrific.
