Camp Emerson Reviews

For the past six summers, the girls have come home taller, tanner, stronger, and with more skills, friendships, and wonderful memories. Through your gentle guidance and love, they have gone from scared little girls that first year to the delightful, confident young ladies they are today. We thank you for making this happen. With deepest gratitude, admiration, and love. — Parent

All three of our children have attended - and loved - Camp Emerson and have remained at the camp until they aged out. My three children are incredibly different in personality and interests and it always amazes me that three such different children all love the same camp. It is a direct reflection of how the camp is run. The directors are on top of everything and personally ensure all the kids feel loved, well cared for, and appreciated. The counselors are top notch, too. Emerson has been a gift for all three of our children and we feel so lucky to have found it. — Parent

I just want to take the opportunity to thank you for creating such a wonderful place as Camp Emerson. My daughter has had the most wonderful camp experience. This was her first time away from home and you made her feel completely comfortable. She has thrived in the atmosphere you’ve created. She has loved every minute of camp and it is wonderful to hear her go on and on about all the things she is doing. Her letters home have been a joy. - Parent

Our son has been home for 5 days now and I felt it necessary to tell you how thrilled we are. He returned to us healthy, happy, self-confident, optimistic, polite and sensitive. We could not have asked for more. His experience at camp was positive in every way. And he said that he can’t wait to go back next year. We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. - Parent
