This camp is AMAZING!!! u would not find a better camp than this one... I swear you would not regret sending your kid here. Don't listen to the people when they talk about electronics. From the second I jumped of the bus my first year (2010) I felt at home, from my friends, my counselors, and other counselors. I was scared my first year that no one would like me... No one knew me. But I was 100% wrong. Everyone makes you feel at home. And even if you are homesick everyone makes you feel better. Counselors and campers. No one in my bunk and I have ever felt excluded or homesick cause there is so much to do that takes ur mind off of everything. The property the owners own is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! the lake is not just gorgeous it is also so funn to go in!!! Take this advice from someone who goes to this camp for four years now!!! I truly love this place... It's MY HOME!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE WITH ALL MY HEART!!!!<3333 OPENING DAY IS SOO SOONNNN!!!! 96 DAYSSSS!!!<3333333333 |

Not sure why anyone would claim this camp is not electric. Plenty of kids with electronic devices watching videos and playing on them. The camp also has a soda machine and sweets everywhere. I guess if you are a very indulgent parent and are cool with sweets and electronics than this camp is fine for you but a lot of parents are to keen on that stuff. Anyway, a tiny camp and not a bad place but hardly free of electronics and sweets all summer either. |

Having been a camper in the 60's & 70's, having set older children to other camps, sorry we didn't find Watitoh earlier as my youngest is now 13 and has spent 3 years at Watitoh. It is truly a 'real" camp, small, hands on, non-electronic. Values, ethics, responsibilities and fun. Many camps are independent, free time, explore your inner self, forget about it! let kids be kids, use time creatively, back to basics. A true find for kids to be themselves. |

I have been a camper at Watitoh and going back this year (2012) will make it my 6th summer there. I have always felt welcomed by my bunkmates and everyone in the camp. I never really feel excluded or homesick because there is so much to do and so many other things to focus your mind on while you are at Watitoh. I have met my sisters at camp and we have been through so much together, in and out of camp. I don't regret coming to Watitoh one bit and would not change camps for the world. It is also on an absolutely beautiful property with a beautiful view from the lake. I honestly love this camp with all my heart and everything it has to offer. I just wish there were a few more people. Otherwise I would highly recommend you sending your child here. It is an experience that is life changing. Living the dream <3 |

I, a returning camper for 6 years (soon to be 7) could honestly say this place is literally heaven on earth. Watitoh is my second home and what i look forward to for the 10 months i am in school. It's the two best months of my year and i couldn't imagine life without the bonds and memories i've made forever. I strongly recommend this wonderful place to all ages because fitting in isn't a problem at all. "We've dreamed it, we've lived it, together here in the Berkshieres". |

People from Romaca and other camps may say their camp is the best, and maybe for some insane reason say Watitoh is a bad camp, but you have to experience it as a true camper to know what Watitoh is all about. It's a great coed camp where you make bff's. We have different evening activities every night from Date Night to Camp Sing. Watitoh has the friendliest people. My first year I was very nervous, and as soon as I walked into my bunk, my great counselors made me feel right at home. Along with the people who made me feel just as welcome, my best friends. It's amazing how much Camp Watitoh can change you as a person. I'm going for my third year next year, and I just can't believe I have to wait much longer. Watitoh will always be in my heart along with everyone else who goes there that sees how much potential Watitoh has as a camp and as a great community. It's such a warm environment, so I strongly think you should send your kids because I guarantee they'll absolutely love it! |

from a counselor's perspective this place is horrid. the rules are ridiculous and the head honchos are idiots. we, the college student counselors, had curfews + had to log in every night, even on our days off. on our days off, we still had to wake up at 7.30, go to breakfast then begin our day off, and be in by 12 midnight. most of the head honchos are cold and stiff. the counselors who've been there for several years are unwelcoming and unkind and make it a point to show they're superior. they have no problem criticizing you or excluding you from going out. on our nights off, the ONLY thing to do is go to the town half an hour away and go to a bar there. one week into the summer, billy the fascist scoutmaster decided he didn't want counselors using the camp van to go out, or hang out in the empty lot across the street, nor were we allowed to stay on camp grounds on our days/nights off. so, on our says off, we literally had nowhere to go, unless we knew someone with a car. it was hell |

Camp Watitoh, is truly our summer home. You would be happy to get off that bus on opening day (June 29th, 2009 this year) and live the summer moment with your friends. Watitoh has everything you want and need. The staff, facilities, activities, attention, and value is great. This camp has sentimental value, something we cannot lose and hold on for ever and ever. Your relationships will form. Don't be shy to go up to someone, they're welcoming with a warm heart. To be honest, I was nervous during the first few days, but I started to socialize with other people and now, we're better than Best Friends, we're sisters. You should think about sending your child to camp, they deserve to have a home like this. Every day, your heart runs out there, being who you want to be. Let the light shine on you, you'll get it and before you know it, you'll be the super star you wanted to be. Camp Watitoh - Livin' the Dream 2009! -Talky |

Watitoh is the most amazing place ever. It is totally my summer home. The camp is the best. If I didn't find this camp, I would be so upset. You won't regret sending any camper here. Watitoh is amazing. It is so relaxed and focused on the important camp life. I would be totally lost without Watitoh. I always dream of Watitoh, it so amazing and wonderful. The activities are so fun and the campus is beautiful! Watitoh is so awesome! I love it. You definitley should come. -Emily/Bora Bora/Bourlas |

Amazing camp. Been going there since I was 8 years old and never had a bad summer. The staff really cares about you and the campers and counselors form relationships that truly lasts many years. People are down to earth and welcoming. Watitoh is all about traditions. Color war is the biggest and greatest thing, though it only lasts three days. The experiences I had at camp have shaped me into the person I am today. It has done so many positive things for me and I can't praise it enough! Send your kids here it truly is an amazing place. |

This camp is honestly the most amazing place in the world. I am blessed to have found it. It is my home and everything about it is unbeliveable. The people are so genuine and loving, and become your family. The staff members are awsome!! If you go, you're making the best desicion of a lifetime. I am the person I am today because I made that desicion. This camp shapes your charcter, and teaches you so much. Words can not describe the expirience. |

Great staff. The kids are treated like human beings. The only thing is the food. The camp needs to update their menu for the taste today's kids have. |

This camp is the reason I get out of bed everymorning. I cant wait till the next day when it is that much closer to the first day. The friends and memories that you will make here will last you a lifetime. Everytime I see these people I want that day to keep repeating so that the camp season never ends. I cant wait till next summer. It is only 216 days left until camp. See you next summer.-Josh and Melissa |

Amazing camp, terrible directors. The people at this camp are the reason campers want to come back every year, not the facilities or the owners. |
