BEST CAMP EVER!!! I was nervous about going to a long summer camp for the first time, but everyone is sooo friendly and I felt like I was at home, and that hasn't changed in the years since. In my first year the older girls at the camp became like older sisters, and now the younger ones feel like younger sisters. The whole camp is one giant family. And worth every penny. |

Runoia is definately my home away from home. The bonds you make at Runoia are without a doubt everlasting, and I count down the days every year until I see my "sisters" again. This summer will by my 6th summer at camp, and my 3rd summer as a full session camper. Sadly, it is my last year, but Runoia and it's amazing people will always be in my heart. The directors are amazing, always there if you need someone to talk to. The counselors at Runoia are so exceptional, and you become so close to them even if you are only there for 3 weeks. The scenery is spectacular, and campfires on the shores of Great Pond are something almost every camper looks forward to. I would recommend Runoia to any girl, because it truly is an amazing place to be. |

Amazing camp for girls. My daughter started going when she just turned 10 and she is begging me to go the entire summer this year. The directors are phenomenal. The facilities are wonderful. The location is breathtaking. Perfect size so the directors know your daughter well! |

Everything here is 100% true-Camp Runoia is my favorite place in the world! CR is so indescribable that you just have to not just see but feel and experience it. My first year was in 6 shack- there are only 8(including SV as 1). Ever sinse i walked in the front gate i wished i started going when i was 8 in 1st shack. I'm born and raised in Jupiter, Florida so for scenery i'm not easy to impress. But i'm certain that Great Pond is 10x more beautiful than ANY place in Florida. The people are all there because they want to. And everyone knows that it's much more fun when everyone is having fun that when someone is left out. NO ONE is ever left out. And for some incredible reason, someone is sitting out EVERYONE has something to say about it. I thing it is perfectly summed up but a quote i thought of on the plane ride back- "Anyone can be part of a camp. But the camp has to be truly remarkable to become a part of you. Camp Runoia IS truly remarkable." CR IS my life. and it will always be. |

i just spent the best summer of my life at runoia. it is a beautiful setting with the most amazing people you will ever meet. the food is really good, we have our own greenhouse where we grow fresh vegetables for 'salad bar' which we have every night. the counselors are amazing, i became very close to my counselor and i know that everyone else felt the same way. you are right on great pond, which is absolutely breathtaking. the cabins are clean, the directors are fabulous and the camp is structured on manners and tradition. i would absolutely recommend Runoia to anyone who asked me about summer camps, and even people who didn't. oh, and the activities are things you would never get to try anywhere else. i tried riflery and archery for the first time and it was wonderful. one of the things that makes runoia sooo special is the directors. every night they come in and give you a hug and a kiss goodnight. alex jackson is one of the funniest women i know and pam is one of the nicest. |

CR is amazzzzing!!!!! this was my 1st summer there, and it was one of the funnest and greatest expieriences i've ever had. everyone there was so welcoming, and we were all so different (but in a good way) and we all just fit together so perfectly as one happy camp family. i got so close to the girls there. like sisters. we all cryed on the last night because we couldn't believe we wouldn't see eachother for a whole nother year. and if your worried that you'll be the only new camper, there's always like 3 or 4 new girls in the cabin. the councelers are fabulous as well. they are so supportive, and they really helped me get into the routine there. they feel like older sisters! it's great! they're so fun, but also very responsible. there are good old fashioned maine cabins and buildings, and the setting is gorgeous! the directors give you so much personal attention. the acctivities are so diverse and fun! there must be like 30! CR will always be where my heart will belong in the summer. |

This is one of the BEST camps on the east coast. I'm from a large Midwestern city so getting out of the hustle and bustle was nice. The owners were amazing with giving each girl personal attn. I liked that we had to rotate tables at meals so we got to meet all of the campers. Some of the most well behaved girls I have ever met attend this camp. If you want to try new things and meet new people, this is the place to be. I miss you CR!! |

both the activities and personal attention is great....you couldnt ask for more! i mean, where else would u get a kiss goodnight every night, or a great big hug from nurse cathy! the foood is average, but that is made up by our family style way of dining and our sparkling mealtime conversations. the counselors are always there for you, and camp just wouldnt be the same without their smiling faces! also, alex jackson, one of the directors is the greatest person in the world. she's made my summers rock! the facilities are average, but camp is about lifelong memories and friends that will last you forever! |

Camp Runoia is a great way to spend your summer. I have made my best friend here and have spent two happy summers there. i am soo excited to go back this year, and if you read this, we aren't kidding- this is the best camp ever. It is wecloming to newcomers, and any other visitors. I have to keep this review short now, there are too many good things to nsay. This camp has everything you could dream of and more. A ton of activities and very nice staff. If you are reading this, i hope you will take my advuce and go to Runoia. I hope to see you there. "Oh I was born.." forever. I <3 CR!!!! |

I went to Runoia in the early 90's before people were so accepting of children who had some problems. I had gone to another camp the year previous and they were not only terrible to me, but they essentially told my parents that I was a "bad egg." Runoia took me the way I was and accepted me - good and bad. I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Pam, Betty and all of the rest for being so wonderful and accepting. I have turned out pretty well (I have a solid college education and a wonderful job) and I KNOW in my heart that no small part of it had to do with the care and love I received at Runoia. Bo-bo-ski forever. Thanks Runoia! |

Wow this year was only my first and I made the best of friends. I loved it and can't wait to go back next year. You can do so many fun things there and the girls and staff are soo nice. I felt like family as soon as I got there. I never wanted to go back!!! It was only my first really long summer camp and I'm soo excited for next year. As soon as you leave your like "Wow is it really over?" And you start sobbing. You grow to love everyone and learn a lot more about nature. WOW. I can't say anythig else except I LOVE CAMP RUNOIA! |
