The counselors are exceptionally well-trained, receiving a full week of preparation focused on safety, team-building, and camper connection before the kids even arrive. From counselors to campers to parents, everyone is welcomed like family. The camp places a strong emphasis on inclusion and encourages kids to step out of their comfort zones, try new things, and take pride in their accomplishments. We were initially nervous sending our daughter away for three weeks that first summer, but on her first phone call home, she BEGGED to stay the full six weeks. Camp has structure, but it's structure inside a framework that's different from home or school. At K&E, the kids have a safe space to grow in ways we didn't even realize were possible. Our daughter is creating lifelong friendships, learning the importance of teamwork, & having an absolute blast in the process--and for us, that's absolutely priceless.

They experience so much growth while they are there, forming friendships and exploring activities that they don't usually have the opportunity to try in their everyday lives.

The environment is incredibly supportive and caring, and the break from screens provides a much-needed reset. They talk about camp all year long. Choosing Wa-Klo was one of the best decisions we made for them!

A typical weekday would be waking up to revelry, circling the flag pole to welcome the day, eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Roy-Kit, singing many fun camp songs, cleaning the cabin, having inspection, attending 5 activities throughout the week (soccer, lacrosse, tennis, archery, horseback riding, fitness, gymnastics, theatre, dancing, sailing, windsurfing, swimming... to name a few) with one rest period in between to hang out with friends, write letters, take a nap, etc. Outside of the weeks' activities I thoroughly enjoyed our evening and weekend gatherings. When you first attend camp you are placed on either the White or Green Team tribe and throughout your camp experience there are various all-camp competition events, movie nights, drama performances, dances, and council fires where staff and counselors award achievements associated with weekly activities, tribe success and much more. You also have opportunities to go off-site as a group to hike Mt. Monadnock, grab ice cream from Kimball Farm, go water rafting, visit Six Flags, attend the Jaffrey Fair, etc. I also really liked the camp uniform. The green and white apparel made it easy for all the girls to feel comfortable in what they wore. There were some civies days, and an all-white closing ceremony (so I would still pack other outfits) but the main area to show off one's personality was in the cabin by decorating around your bed, shelves, and trunk. I have only GREAT camp memories and would continue sharing... Instead, I invite you to sign up and experience a summer for yourself!

My daughter started attending Camp Evergreen at age six. As a shy child, I was nervous she might…read morenot fit in, but she absolutely thrived. For years, camp was her favorite place in the world, and she dreamed of one day becoming a counselor. She worked her way from camper to junior CIT to counselor, and the memories she made during that time were priceless. Unfortunately, when management changed, so did the atmosphere. The new leadership created an environment of favoritism and division, and my daughter--who had once felt so at home--found herself singled out and targeted by the owner. Camp shifted from a place she loved to one that left her feeling anxious and defensive. By the summer after her sophomore year, things had deteriorated so badly that she cut ties entirely. The most upsetting moment came just this week, when my daughter and a friend returned to collect an item from a 2020 time capsule. Although they were invited back by current staff, the owner treated them like intruders, personally escorting them off the property and watching them leave. This was an unnecessarily hostile end to what had once been a beautiful chapter in her life. I'm certain many children still have incredible summers here, and I truly hope they experience the same joy my daughter once did. But this review is directed solely at the current management, whose treatment of staff and alumni is deeply disappointing

My heart breaks for more recent campers who attend Camp Evergreen- you have missed out on the…read moregolden years of what this camp meant to many children, who then became Jr CITs, CITs, and then staff. My son attended from age 5 til age 17-- under the previous management my son benefited and enjoyed being a Jr CIT, CIT and Counselor. My daughter attended ages 5-14-- when the new management came in. This place used to feel like all the benefits of a sleep away camp, without the sleep away. The staff years ago were invested in every camper being themselves and making lifelong friendships. Since Ali Loscutoff took over many former campers don't stay as staff. Today 2 former campers returned to open a time capsule they buried 2020 to retrieve an item. They were asked to leave. The spirit of the camp clearly is not a priority for the new leadership. In the past I had tried to diplomatically share with her that her management style was pushing people away for her only to dismiss me.
