Quick, short-form reviews, gathered from additional sources.
Deb, Norm and Vicky (parent)It’s a break for parents, but more importantly, it’s a wonderful break for our kids. They get to relax, be silly and just have fun. Can’t imagine our lives without Camp Kennebec… Our daughter is globally delayed with anxiety driven by obsessive-compulsive disorder and attention deficit hyperactive disorder. When our daughter was eight years of age, the psychologist working with us asked what we thought about sending her to sleepover ... Show More |
Sanford (parent)The care and attention by your entire team was remarkable. We look forward to summer of 2019.
As this summer comes to an end I want to take this time to thank you for a terrific two weeks at camp. My son had such a great time. The care and attention by your entire team was remarkable. We look forward to summer of 2019. Have a great rest of the year!! |
Sara (parent)I couldn't be happier with the experience you provided. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you doesn’t even begin to express the gratitude we feel for the experience Maya had this summer at camp. As you know, she has never been away from home before for more than 5 nights, and even for a shorter stay, we always got a call, either saying it was not workable or asking how to manage her behaviou...

Marny (parent)The best summer camp ever for our kids! I just wanted to introduce any families who’ve not heard about THE BEST summer camp ever for our kids! My daughter Charly had never ever EVER attended an overnight camp before 3 years ago and I was extremely hesitant. But I sent her for one week…and when I picked her up a week later, she was crying and didn... Show More |
Jen & Ian (parent)So many warm, lovely feelings after our sons' camp experience, I cannot even put it into words! I am not really sure where to begin this email. We just have so many warm, lovely feelings after Will & Jack’s camp experience, I cannot even put it into words! All we know, is that Will and Jack *really* enjoyed themselves!! When I ask them if they had fun at camp we get the most genuine, emphatic head ... Show More |
There are lots of camps that are inspiring, and Kennebec is at the top of that list. It is designed to support a range of special needs, though to do it in a way that doesn’t foreground them. Kids need support, yes, but the point here is to provide the support and then get on with all the things that camp can be. Says Donna Segal, “We just work so hard to give them a typical summer that every kid deserves at summer camp.” Love that. The staff is exceptional, too, in that it’s composed of post-secondary students and professional teachers who are attracted precisely by all the positive impacts that an environment like this can have in the life of a child. Per the hiring guidelines, staff must demonstrate empathy, a sense of humor, patience, and a strong desire to give the campers the summer of their lives. Love that, too. The campers have exceptionalities, but at camp, they aren’t exceptional, at least not in the way they can be in other environments. Here they are understand, and their talents are seen ahead their exceptionalities; their personalities ahead of their challenges. Kennebec is the very definition of what camp can do in the life of a child.
