Loved the lake activities and the Giant Swing. Very good meals with good desserts. Loved the upgraded cafeteria.
Great counselors and variety of activities
Family camp is well organized, good assortment of activities, fun time with family.
My kids have gone to Fairview Lake for the past several years and have always enjoyed it. The counselors are great and there are a lot of options of different kinds of camps.
The camp experience was amazing! My son enjoyed the grounds, activities, the group of campers, the counselors and traditions. He had such an amazing time!
His only gripes and also why he rates it a 9 and not a 10 is the bathroom in the cabin smelled like pee and the shower was dirty. Also the toilets did not flush well
The counselors were excellent. My son experienced a bout of homesickness and it was handled so well.
This is our second year sending our daughter to Blue Mountain Day Camp. Carolyn, Matt and all the counselors are great, communicative and are guaranteed to give your kids a summer of lasting memories. We can wait to be back next year!
Several things need improvement. The shower time allowed was far too short, especially for children who have long, thick hair.
I was much more concerned about the horses. The stalls were overflowing with feces, and some horses had visibly protruding ribs, which was very disturbing to see.
Lastly, some of the younger counselors seemed to be on power trips, with an attitude of “you do it because I said so,” rather than respectfully supervising and guiding the children.
My 11 year old had a wonderful time at his first overnight camp! He went for two weeks and wants to go for more. He had a great time!
Wonderful camp and my son wanted to continue to stay longer weeks!!
The camp is run so well. The activities are so well thought out and my daughter loves the camp.
Thank you for giving Maddox such a wonderful first experience at sleepaway camp! He had an amazing week at Fairview. Camp helped him become more independent, make new friends, and create memories he’ll always remember. The staff were incredibly personable, welcoming, and supportive. We couldn’t have asked for a better first sleepaway camp experience!
This is a wonderful program that prepares teenagers to be a camp counselor. Our kiddo had an incredible time in the CIT program and cannot wait to return next summer as a counselor.
Fairview Lake is my daughter’s happy place and has been for 6+ years! She’s made what I know will be lifelong friendships there
Old fashioned fun. Appreciate the diverse backgrounds of the children at camp.
My son said every day was fantastic with a variety of activities and good food. He also loved the counselors and facilities.
The camp staff and program was excellent. I felt very comfortable leaving my daughter in the hands of the staff and she was entertained throughout her one week attendance. As an older day camper for only one week it was a little hard to make friends with the other girls her age as they were mostly in the sleep-away group and there wasn’t much overlap in schedules. She still managed to find a friend and she bonded with many of the counselors.
My daughter has been loving her Laurel Ridge experience for 4 years. When I picked her up the first year, she said I have to come back next year mommy. Now 15 and aged out, she said during pick up, I want to be a CIT next year (counselor in training). The friends and memories she makes seem to stay with her forever. In addition to the pure joy that I see from her I personally appreciate the 3 week technology detox she gets from being there. The team at Fairview have a good thing going.
On our end, as parents, everything ran very smoothly. Our son came home everyday happy and excited for the next day.
Our daughter went to Fairview as a first time camper this summer and had so much fun she asked to stay for 2nd session. She had so much fun, met new people, was phone free, and outside for 6 weeks. We would highly recommend going to Fairview and have already signed up for next summer.
Our son absolutely loved his time at Lake in the Woods! He had such an amazing experience and came home with so many great memories.
Both Chris and Ellie are incredible counselors, and we truly appreciate all the time, care, and effort they put into making camp such a wonderful experience for him. It means so much to know he was in such great hands.
We are already looking forward to coming back next year!

This was our first experience with any sleepaway camp. My 13 yo daughter had an amazing experience. All the staff we dealt with were amazing! She came home begging to go back next year!
This is our second year at Blue Mountain Day Camp. Overall it’s such a positive experience on my children.
Great leadership program and fantastic facilities! My son made great friends and really appreciated the caring staff members. He had the best summer ever!
