My son was extremely overwhelmed and only ended up attending one day. Some of that was
The communication, the safety, all the activities, the hard work of the staff.
When I asked my kids what was their least favorite part of camp was, they said the bathrooms were incredibly disgusting. Coming from a 7 and 8 year old it must have been really bad. Everything else was great
We were not communicated to about our daughter having a meltdown in the lake. We were not communicated to about our daughter’s foot injury. She clearly told her group leader, and ended up needing x-rays, had a sprained foot, and missed the rest of the camp. This was a huge disappointment for us.
My daughter thinks that camp is wonderful but she says it's very anti-climactic at the ending. Friday afternoon doesn't culminate in anything meaningful with time for farewells to friends and counselors, it just sort of fades out with people leaving randomly. It feels abrupt and disappointing instead of giving closure and ending on a high note
Communication with parents, variety of activities, my daughter said she liked the counselors' "authenticity" and how they interacted with you when you were emotional, water time, the food, & siesta.
One note: my kids don't drink energy drinks but I thought it was *super* weird your counselors were promoting energy drinks on your social channels when they're banned at camp.
My 8 year old son loved all of the activities that were offered in the day camp. He is already asking to do tue overnight camp next year.
My daughter loves it and she always ask to go back
My granddaughter loves camp Weaver. She enjoys making new friends, the staff and all the fun activities.
My kids have loved Camp Weaver for a couple of years now. They make the best of friends while at camp, are involved in so many activities and the leaders really enjoy working with the kids.
I loved the extra drop off locations. That was super helpful. My daughter enjoyed camp and was excited to go each day. That's the most important! Thank you for everything.
This is Sybil's third year and Jenny's first. They always come home totally worn out but they can't wait to go back the next day. They love all the different activities. They camp staff is so helpful and kind.
Everyone, from the moment we arrived were very helpful. They made everything run smoothly, with staff checking in luggage and taking it to the cabins, to the health check in, and photographer.
I would recommend that parents and children consider, at least a weekend, if not a week, to try it out.
Camp Weaver has an abundance of activities for all ages!
Thank You Camp Weaver and Staff for all the hard work and fun you put into this camp! I'm sure it's helping so many to expand their creativity!
My girls did arts and crafts/ animal care. Wish there were more activities for their age group horse back riding and more food options for picky kids
This is the third year my daughter has enjoyed summer camp at Camp Weaver! She always has a great time and the counselors are fun, engaging and attentive.
Last year I would have said 10. My son loved camp so much he asked us to pick him up as late as possible. This year (June 29-July 3) I think it’s at a 5 for a few reasons:
1) Instead of playing at the pavilion before pickup like last year, kids sat waiting with their backpacks on for most of that time. This was his biggest disappointment. Is this a new policy?
2) Last year he swam in the pool every day. This year he alternated between the pool and the lake, and he has little interest in the lake.
3) There seemed to be fewer activity options (less ga ga ball) and less flexibility than last year. Maybe that was the heat, or fewer staff around the 4th?
My son had issues with one or two of the kids that was in the cabin with him taking his belongings whether it was an item or his snacks for my understanding is it was an issue all week I feel I should have been called to help my son either process it or be giving the option to come get these said items instead my son had a really bad week because the kids that he had issues with were younger than him
On a plus side and they did a better job a far better job this year of taking pictures of the little ones so that was much appreciated
None of the support messages were sent to either one of my kids at this years summer camp. That's horrible! There should have been 7 messages a piece sent to two kids. How does neither one get a single one???? One of my daughter's already felt targeted the entire time she was there because she is black. I tried my best to ignore it but learning that neither one of my kids received their messages is unacceptable and then my kids said their snacks were eaten by other kids. This year was terrible.
Honestly this camp is like hitting the easy button. Drop off is smooth, pick up is smooth (even when it’s early), I don’t have to pack lunch or snacks and my son is happy at the end of each day! We love coming here.
Everything went well. My child said in his previous stays the food was awesome but he stated it wasnt as good this time. He wondered if Uncle Ray had new assistants.
My camper had such an enjoyable experience. The increase for the photos was a little shocking, it’s almost a $1.00 per picture so I could not afford to get as many pictures as we usually get.
All 4 of my kids enjoy going to Camp Weaver. The youngest 2 went for the first time this summer and they had a blast! Which totally shocked me considering they are hard to please
My daughter made really close special friendships and did not want to leave. She felt very well looked after by all levels of staff and the infirmary. She definitely wants to go back next year and for longer!
Very organized & efficient check-in, wonderful [climate-controlled] cabins, upbeat & friendly staff, beautiful grounds, kids get to choose their preferred activities, the kid raved about the food. So much to love!
Staff is always pleasant, my son has enjoyed his experience both times. When something went wrong I was notified . My son also enjoys the food. Great environment for kids who are used to being in a shell.
