Member Testimonials
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.
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.
Well run, friendly and beautiful setting.
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
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.

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.
My daughters have had the quintessential camp experiences here: spending time outdoors, learning new skills, making new friends, gaining independence, etc
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.
Everything
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.
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.
My son loves it so much. He's made friends that he stays in contact with all year long.
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!
My son really enjoyed camp! He liked all the activities, kids, and counselors
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.
The friendships and togetherness that’s promoted.
My son loves everything about Fairview Lake. He is always so happy when he comes home, and full of stories!
My children completely enjoyed themselves.
My son has consistently had a great summer experience at Fairview Lake, and always asks to go back for longer the next summer!
This truly was the best experience that we could have hoped for for our daughter. She was a first-time camper with some specific needs. Everyone we parents came in contact with was understanding, responsive and supportive. We briefly met some of her counselors too, and based on that and what she said, they were wonderful every step of the way. And despite her shyness, she made friends at camp. She attended for 2 weeks, but had we known in advance how much she would enjoy and thrive at camp, we would have signed up for more weeks! Thank you everyone!
we liked everything. especially games, swimming and other outdoor activities all day long. And also the safety of our children.
My child had a wonderful experience and created memories that she will be talking about for years to come!
Great staff and activities. All the campers are well looked after.
The coming together of all the camp cabins to enjoy time together.
I like that it's a classic camp, no screens, just fun with friends. From what I can tell people are encouraged to be kind to each other. My son comes home more polite, thoughtful and helpful. He loves going to camp and considers it a big part of who he is. That is an impressive impact for a place he goes to only a few weeks every year.
My daughter loves camp so much. When asked to pinpoint something specific-she can’t. She loves the whole experience.
