Member Testimonials
My son enjoyed every minute of his experience at Camp at the Lake. While some says were hot and swimming in a lake was a new experience, he felt proud to have so much to share about what he did and achieved. The kids and counselors are great and supportive and fun. Staff are responsive and communication about camp activities is clear and frequent. Thank you all for a great summer!!
They love the constant different activities
Our kids love the range of activities, especially swimming and playing games and boating on the lake. The counselors are great and promote a fun, summer camp atmosphere.
My daughter loved it. Easy bus experience, she loved the splash pad on the lake, and met new friends.
excellent, 100% recommended
Always a great wholesome outdoor run around, get dirty be exhausted experience. I LOVE that swimming lessons are part of ever year regardless of age or level. The counselors and Leadership Team have been amazing and have become relationships that have been looked forward too every year.
Thank you!
We love that the kids are doing activities outdoors all day - no screens! They make good memories and have terrific counselors to guide them through it.
My son enjoyed everything
My kids had a great experience, it was their first time attending the camp. They already asked if they can do more than one week next summer.
If you could have an earlier bus for aftercare that would be great or if aftercare could be held at a local location so kids could be picked up earlier, that would be helpful.
Also, if there were indoor options for rainy days, that would be great.
Thank you!
Our kids both enjoyed their time at Camp at the Lake and said it was in their top 2 camps this summer.
My son enjoyed the outdoor activities. The counselors inspired him to do activities, like swimming, when he initially didn’t want to do it. Overall, he liked his experience.
This was a great camp experience for my son. He has been to many different camps over the years and said this by far was his favorite that he has been to. Everything was very well organized and the communication that we received was great. He will definitely be back next year!
Everything was great. The only issue we had was swimmer's itch from the lake....which obviously there isn't anything that can be done for that. We plan on coming back next year!
My kids loved, and had a lot of fun.
Staff were extremely helpful especially with our unique needs. We felt our chidren were safe and well cared for while at camp.
Traditional camp good times- songs, bus ride, variety of activities, organized, on time, good communication
My daughter had a ton of fun. Lots of variety. Camp site was beautiful. Directors were kind and communicative.
My son had a wonderful experience at camp at the lake. We were only disappointed we couldn’t get him in for the whole summer! He has ADHD so we were nervous about him behaving and listening but whatever the counselors did there worked brilliantly and I only heard good things about his behavior while he was there. We even went to family day and got to check out the lake and property for ourselves. The staff were so warm and helpful and we had the best time! I highly recommend.
My daughter had a fantastic time at Camp at the Lake. She shared her experiences with us at home, her swimming techniques improved, and has more of an interest in the outdoors and challenging herself.
The communication with the counselors and nurse made it very easy for me to discuss things with my child This was especially important because this was his first time ever at a camp. As h previously had a trach for 6 years, he is experiencing a great deal of new things on many social levels. The camp was a great introduction to so many things that could have late manifested as fears. Instead, he is over the moon about the 8 weeks he got to spend in camp and is already talking about going again next year.
I love that the kids spend ALL DAY outside and in the water. They learned so many new skills like canoeing and paddle boarding. I did not know that swimming lessons were part of CATL, and although both my kids swim well, improving the technique on their strokes is an added bonus!
My son had a blast this Summer. Every morning, he woke up excited to see what CATL had in store for him. I am so grateful to CATL for giving my son, Gray, the best summer. Looking forward to next year.
Wonderful experience with great activities.
I just love that it’s about the community and that all the people who are nurturing our children are really kind and caring.
Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed her experience at camp at the lake. We look forward to returning next year!
Everything! But the part our son enjoyed the most were the camp counselors.
We were so thrilled with our first experience at CATL this summer. Our 6 year old was exhausted and filthy at the end of every day which is pretty much the pinnacle of success.
He jumped on the bus to camp happily every day and learned so much - he became much less afraid of water and swimming, he met big kids and little kids on the bus, he sang us songs he learned and told us about the funny and big-hearted counselors who embraced Wacky Wednesdays and rainy day fashion shows.
Kids love attending and I like that they are outside all day. They always have fun and love their counsellors. I also really value the diversity of campers and counsellors.
My child loved the different activities she got to experience being in Middle Village this yearly. She especially loved archery and paddle boarding. As parents, we love that she got to spend all day outdoors, trying new activities and got to spend time just being a kid and having fun!
