My daughter loves camp so much. When asked to pinpoint something specific-she can't. She loves the whole experience.

My daughter had a fantastic time this year at Camp Tupelo, bonding with her cabin mates, trying out a variety of activities, and expressing her creativity and personality. I appreciate the camp leadership and staff working with us after a disappointing experience the prior summer, to make sure this time around she was in a program and cabin where she had a solid feeling of belonging among peers.

Well run, friendly and beautiful setting.

The camp is beautiful, well organized, great counselors, well maintained, great communication, clean cabins, a beautiful lake and lots and lots of activities that our son loves.

This camp is well-maintained and offers many programs to many different people. We love that it fosters acceptance, inclusiveness and team building. It has been a great experience for me and for my family.

Happiness and Energy of staff to provide a wonderful experience for campers. Evening activities were inclusive of all campers Circle up before bed time for campers

Better ventilation in the cabins by installing ceiling fans. My kids get sick every year. It would be nice not to have a revolving door of Nurses. The kids would feel more comfortable sharing their issues with familiar faces. Laundry service needs to improve by not losing items that have been labeled. It happens every year.

I liked the freedom of being mostly in-charge of myself and being able to do activities I can't do at home with my friends. - Oliver Mankoff

My daughter had a fantastic time at Camp Minisink. It was her first time at a sleepaway camp and when we came to pick her up after two weeks, she didn't want to leave. She specifically loved the lake activities and gained so much confidence. The counselors were so supportive and nurturing, she'll definitely be back.

Everything

Great and perfect

The responsive and engaging counselors. Variety of activities, always having a choice of things to do, and having a variety of people around to talk to.

My daughters have had the quintessential camp experiences here: spending time outdoors, learning new skills, making new friends, gaining independence, etc

I love the community and the enthusiasm.

My son had an amazing experience so much so he asked to extend his stay. He loves the counselors and has made great friends. Once he leaves he is always counting down the days to the next summer at Fairview.

Overall they had a great camp experience. I just wish that when they were older there was an option for a 2 week camp, and I wish there weren't quite so many people from the South Orange/Maplewood area (not much you can do about that)!

My son loves it so much. He's made friends that he stays in contact with all year long.

Our girls continue to enjoy Laurel Ridge. One comment as the girls get older....we did hear about vaping and pot at the camp. The girls told us that the CIT counselors were smoking pot. Also heard one girl in one of their cabins was sneaking out repeatedly after lights out to meet up with a boy by the lake. This is a big concern to us -- I recognize that as our kids get older, these will be issues that come up, but I'd like to discuss at some point before we send the kids back.

Best decision I've made pertaining my child's well being.. He talked non stop about all of the activities and experiences he's had while at your camp

Fairview Lake is my daughter's happy place. She looks forward to going all year and is always sad to leave. From sun up to sun down she has a blast every day and couldn't love camp more. FVL gets a ten out of ten in our house!

Better and healthier food options including fresh fruit. New options for main meals besides burgers and chicken fingers. More camp merchandise for purchase.

The friendships and togetherness that's promoted.

My kids love FVL so much. They mostly love the counselors. I love how diverse it is, especially the counselors. Where else do you see young black teenagers in roles of leadership? It's really magical. The counselors are so great with the kids.

My son really enjoyed camp! He liked all the activities, kids, and counselors

My son loves everything about Fairview Lake. He is always so happy when he comes home, and full of stories!
