Everwood Day Camp Testimonials

“We wanted to let you know how much we appreciate all you’ve done to make this month such a fantastic experience for our son (and us all.)  Thinking back to all the research and open houses we did last spring for every summer program we could find in a 20 mile radius, we feel very confident that Everwood was the right place for our son this year.  We are honored to be a small part of your maiden voyage, and know that your attention to detail was not unnoticed.  We loved that he was exposed to so many different outdoor activities that would have been hard for him to do without camp… nature school, the ropes course, sports, tumbling, boating, and of course, the Wibit were all amazing opportunities.  We loved that he was exposed to both free and instructional swim, and the written progress report was an added bonus.  You took our thoughtful, introspective little boy and turned him into an outdoors enthusiast… no small challenge at age 4!

We would highly recommend your camp to anyone, with high marks for excellence in everything you do.  Thank you for taking the time to keep parents abreast of all activities, schedules, and newsworthy events via so much communication.  We will miss going every day (Our son is already missing his “new best friend at camp, Garrett… he’s a counselor, Mom.”) and the discussions we have every afternoon to recap the day’s action packed activities.  Best wishes for a wonderful summer ahead.  I know this will be a huge success, year after year.  Thank you again for taking such excellent care of our son this summer!”

“Our son had an absolutely wonderful time this Summer at Everwood. He not only learned important skills, such as swimming, but also had a blast with fun new experiences such as fishing, zip-lining, and even cooking! He was learning but all he knew was that he was having lots of fun!  He did have some tears when going to bed this week, saying that there were only a few days left of camp, but that was quelled when he was told that this was just his first year of Everwood Day Camp, and he would get to go longer next Summer!

Thank you so very much for making Everwood happen. We are thrilled with the wonderful variety of fun experiences our son had, and especially with the charming leadership exhibited by you, your counselors and your specialists.  We eagerly look forward to next Summer!”

“Our daughter who is typically very shy comes home excited each night and she looks forward to the next day.   Our son has been telling all of his friends about Everwood and all of the fun activities he’s doing.   The Staff are very professional, thorough (safety first and very organized) and they always greet the kids (and us) in a warm and welcoming manner.   We have been through many camps and after-school programs to compare this experience to and you should be proud of what you are accomplishing with Everwood!”

“Our son had an incredible summer of growth, fun in the sun, and happiness.  We felt so secure knowing he was at Everwood.  From the moment he was greated at the car – where every single person who came up knew his name, we felt he was cared for at this camp.  You cannot imagine the comfort of letting your four year old go to camp when you realize every counselor on the grounds knows who he is and therefore must be looking out for him.  His stories about nature, about boating, and about camp, were incredible.  We learned that one reason we go to Everwood Day Camp is to make new friends and try out new things at least once.  We learned about fishing and how it feels to catch a fish.  We learned A_W_E_S_O_M_E!… We look forward to many more exciting summers together with your outstanding group of staff, committed kids and professional adults who together made such a wonderful summer of fun.”

“I just want to thank you for designing and leading such a wonderful camp experience for our son.  What a fantastic summer of fun and growth!!!  Not only did we feel confident he was safe and well cared for, but also that he was learning in a holistic way.  What more could we ask from a camp!  We also tremendously appreciated your excellent communication.  The weekly newsletters and schedules enabled us to follow along with the activities of his day and dialog more meaningfully with him about his adventures.    Also, our experience with your staff was only positive. It’s obvious that you love what you do and value excellence. Thank you thank you!!”
