Camp Olympia - Smores by the lake!

Camp Olympia

(12 reviews)

We love this camp. Last year we went to mom/son weekend and we just returned from Family camp…read moreweekend. The plan is to register our oldest for golf camp next summer, with the biggest decision being should he go for 2 or 3 weeks? Several of the counselors remembered my kids from the previous year! All the counselors are really enthusiastic, respectful, well-trained, and organized. The kids love them and the parents can feel their kids are in safe hands leaving them for 1-3 weeks in their care. They also provide a private website where parents can view photos daily of their child having fun at camp. The activities at camp are too numerous to list. Favorites of our kids include: golf, fishing, horseback riding, boating and o-o ball. During summer sessions kids get many choices so they can just focus on 1 things such as perfecting their water ski game, or they can get a little taste of everything and try tennis one day, gardening the next, and stand-up paddleboarding the day after that. The girls' camp has newer cabins, but the boys' side is just fine. Bunk beds and a decent shared bath with adequate showers and other facilities. Food is wonderful with fresh fruit and veggies served at every meal, as well as proteins, grains, dairy, and drinks. Usually when we do family camps, I bring a cooler with snacks, there is no need at Camp Olympia. Their Merit system for behavior management is genius for a summer camp. Kids can earn merits which can be exchanged for items in the camp store such as T shirts, water bottles, hats and stuffed animals.

Truly the best camp ever! I've attended this camp in so many capacities, as a camper, counselor,…read moreassistant director and now a nurses assistant. I've spent the last 21 summers at the most special place and can truly say that it feels like home. It shaped me into the person I am today! I will absolutely send my future children here & can't recommend it enough! :)

I absolutely love this camp. I have been going here for 3 years. The food is cheap, yes, but it's a…read morebreak from having food that doesn't taste that good and looks fancy, and the dessert is great. Counselors know everybody's name, there are horses, zip lining, ropes course, waterfront, archery, riflery, water front, and a ton of other things that are really entertaining. It's huge but you can find your way pretty easily, the cabins are old but it's fun because it's kind of a throwback and the counselors are super entertaining, and as for the things removed, it's still fun, even without NOLA roasts, Non-Or Campers, etc. It encourages activity and fun and has so many choices of what to do. I have a favorite horse, she's very nice and most of the horses are great too. All in all I love this camp very much (also it's a great break from tech) and it's the one place where I can fall asleep with melatonin (it tires you out in a good way) and my anger issues get a lot better here because it's very calming. As for the price, I think if you can afford it you should DEFINITELY have your kid come here. It's near Shreveport, Louisiana but if you live somewhere too far to drive (i.e. a kid lives in Vegas) then you can fly and they'll pick you up at the airport and get you over on a bus. 10/10 recommend. You make amazing memories and life long friends.

This camp is the same exact thing every year. You spend almost $5,000 which overpriced first of all…read morefor what it is. The people there are not very well trained in the activities they are supposed to teach. The camp looks as if it hasn't been updated since the 60's. The cabins are falling apart and have many cracks where bugs find their way in. Two years in a row my cabin was infested with spiders. The last time I went the cabin flooded with the smallest amount of rain and there was an ant problem. The workers there have a problem with favoriting certain campers. The food is cheap and frankly very bad. You are never able to tell if you are eating fish patties or chicken ones(not an exaggeration). Ever heard of Sysco? Because that is all you eat. The cheapest and lowest quality food I have ever seen/ate. The councilors are very young themselves and are not old enough to be responsible for your 6+ year olds. Don't get me wrong, it used to be okay. Until, they got a new head director who is not one to pass down little traditions that made Camp Fern what it was. Anything that people found joy in was removed; non-honor campers, Nola roasts, some camp songs, ect. If you haven't gone to this camp you wouldn't understand. In conclusion, this camp is not for you unless you want to waste money to get the cheapest quality of everything. These people only care about your money, not your experience.
