The instructor didn't care that my daughter was too independent to follow instructions and just wanted to play on the gymnastics equipment. She welcomed it and let her and the other kids have their fun. I plan on signing her up to continue the class, hoping she will eventually follow instructions and learn how to use the balance beam and other equipment properly. Very welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere.

What I love about The Foundry is the family environment...I instantly felt like a part of the team from day one. Seth was very helpful in getting us setup and was very welcoming. It had been 20 years since I was an active JuJitsu student...I felt totally comfortable being new. I had experiences with both Sensei Josh and Sensei Seth...both are exceptional teachers. It also speaks to the type of people that are attracted to The Foundry...every student I met had an awesome positive energy and were very welcoming. Regardless of your experience, this place is the right fit. The youth experience is also off the charts awesome. Sensei Shawn is one of the best teachers I have witnessed. My son is learning a ton...but he's also learning discipline...he's a wild one! Ha! Sensei Shawn has done an amazing job with helping become a better listener with holding him accountable to his behavior while also being a great encourager. It has also been a great father/son bonding experience. We commute from Dixfield and have lined up our classes to be on the same day. It is dedicated time for us both to learn something and have time together. I can't recommend this place enough for both adults and kids.

We met Tanner at the Maranacook Lake (North) Boat Launch parking lot. We did the 1/2 days rental ($35 a boat) which included delivery and pick up of the kayaks.

Highly recommend.

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.
