After researching every sleep away camp in New England online, we decided on Camp Birch Hill for…read moreour 11-year old son. We made our choice based on the activities, the goal of having silly fun, and the testimonials. The camp provided so much more than we expected. The diversity of activities allowed him to break out of his comfort zone and try new things. The cabin set up created an instant comradery that made it easier for the kids that were attending by themselves. He left feeling close to all of his bunkmates, and even shared some tears on pick up day. He adored and idolized his counselors. They are such a great group of young adults that work together to make the experience for the kids life altering. For example, after the camp there was a noticeable change in our son's confidence. He struggles with social anxieties and has a hard time being himself. Following the camp he started a new school in a different town, and he quickly acclimated and had no problem making friends . We credit Birch Hill for setting him up for success. A summary of our camper's review: "the best two weeks of my life, the food was amazing, and I miss everyone!"

However we were hesitant because my son has social challenges and never seems to fit it. It has not been a picnic at all times and "not a happy camper" sometimes took on new meaning, but new director Ken Robbins and his staff have done a wonderful job. The best thing about them is that they do not say that everything is wonderful. I know I always get an honest but kind appraisal and so does my son. Last year he got an award on paper plate on the last day of camp and was thrilled. It said "Diamond in the Rough Award". Someone who I showed it to thought this might be a bit insulting to my son. No way. It shows me that the award is real. What other types of awards mean anything, anyway? Also, they provide financial aid to some families. This was a surprise. The camp does not seem like the kind of place that would due to its amazing land, facilities and trips. I just would not think they would need to attract families. This is a great thing. Nothing at Kabeyun is cookie cutter. The boys chose their activities twice per day. The staff has lots of young guys but a lot of seasoned men who are specialists - whether as a carpenter or outdoorsman. Really impressive folks. Highly recommend.

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.

I had a very bad experience at this marina. My son thought this was the public ramp, and put his…read moreboat in there. He left his car parked, with the trailer attached, on the street next to the ramp. There are no signs anywhere indicating this is a private area. However, after we returned a few hours later, the trailer was gone. A man named Alan, or Allen, informed my 19 year old son that he had taken the trailer and moved it to a lot down the road. When I came to talk to Allen, he was quite aggressive with me and said it was private and we weren't allowed to park there, so he had taken the trailer and moved it to a lot down the road. I pointed out that we had no idea that it was private, and that I thought it was inappropriate for him to unhook our boat trailer and move it. He claimed he had the right to do it and said it was in a lot down the road. I drove to all the nearby lots I could find, not knowing this area at all, and in none of them could I find the trailer. Meanwhile, our boat was still in the water, and we could not get it out. I came back and told him I could not find it, he again gave me very vague directions, in a rude tone, and then proceeded to go out on a boat. My son then drove to where Alan said the boat trailer was and he also could not find it. At this point I called the New Durham Police department, because Alan had left, we had no idea where the trailer was, and we needed to get the boat out of the water. A good hour had gone by at this point. The New Durham police officer arrived shortly thereafter, and was kind and professional. He said he had found our trailer, and knew where it was. I asked why it was ok for Alan to move our trailer from our vehicle and he said "he is running a business here". I said I understood that, but we had no idea it was private property and that there were no signs anywhere indicating it was a place we couldn't park. He said they didn't need to have signs, and that maybe there should be signs to tell you you can in fact use it, and if there arent' you shouldn't. This sort of does not sound like my understanding of how the world typically works. The officer was kind enough to drive to where the trailer was, and we followed, so we eventually got it back. The officer said that Alan can indeed unhook our trailer and move it by law. But this whole situation could have been avoided if Alan (or Allen) had made some different choices. He could have done any of the following things. He could have waited until we came back and simply told us that this was private, and we would have apologized and left. He could have signs up indicating that you can't park here or your trailer will be towed an we wouldn't have parked here. He could have had us ticketed, which isn't a nice thing to do, but would have been totally fair. Instead, he chose to remove the trailer from our car and take it and park it somewhere we couldn't easily find it, given we had never been there before. It struck me as extremely petty and passive aggressive, and as we are visitors from out of town, who clearly had no idea what was going on here, it seemed really unnecessary. We are happy to follow the rules as we understand them. We made a mistake, which was not at all obvious to us given the lack of signage. And we were treated with rudeness. Indeed, I thought the trailer had been stolen. If I had come back and he was taking it, there could have easily been a confrontation that might have ended badly. Alan's actions were unnecessarily provocative, passive-aggressive, and rude. He could have just had a conversation, instead he chose this path. I hope in the future, he can make different choices. Effectively stealing a boat trailer from the back of a car and moving it to another location is really not ok.
