okay, so I am 13 years old and i have gone to ak-o-mak ever since I was 10. My first year I got so home sick i would cry everyday... but the staff and people there were so amazing that they always cheered me up, they push you hard at ak-o-mak and at first you hate it, then you realize that is what makes you better. The food is to DIE for and the staff are awesome. I didn't like it that much my first year, but something inside of me kept telling me to come back. So I finally made the decided to go back for one more try and I ended up loving it! I am so excited to go back again this year! It is honestly one of my favourite places to be. Even though there is no electricity, AC/heating, bathrooms, or mirrors, thats what makes the camp experience 10X better :) I think that Camp AK-O-Mak is one of the best camps in the world. But thats just my opinion ;)
My daughters second year here. She loves it. She has made lifelong friends and done things she never would have pushed herself to do. She loves the food - she is a picky eater and the counselors. An added bonus for US citizens - much cheaper for camps in Canada than US even including airfare. She will stay with this camp.
its such an awesome camp where you can come and just be a girl! no one cares about makeup or what your hair looks like. everyone ecepts you for who you are. your cabin is like your family and their there for you no matter what!!! most of the staff is really nice, no body yells at you if you make a mistake. go here!!!
This is the camp to send your daughter if you want her to have a completely different, special, and worthwhile camp experience. Ak-O-Mak pushes you to your limits mentally and physically without you knowing it; you will leave camp a stronger, more confident women--and with lots and lots of great friends to top it off! I have spent over a decade at Ak-O-Mak both as a camper and now as staff, I don't regret any moment or summer I spent there. I attribute a lot of my success in sports, school, and life to the lessons and people I gleaned from Ak-O-Mak. There is truly no place like it in the world.
From war canoeing to open water swimming, Camp Ak-O-Mak has got it all! Going to Camo Ak-O-Mak was possibly one of the best choices I have ever made.I came in the middle of the session my first year, only planning to stay 4 weeks. All of the campers and faculty were so incredibly nice and welcoming. I felt right at home even though my family was 100's of miles away. When the session ended, I decided 4 weeks wasn't enough and I stayed the WHOLE summer! The friends I have made and the new experiences I have tried have impacted to both at home and at camp!I competed in activities I never thought I would have the chance to compete in and these past 2 summers have been the time of my life. I have made friends for life and learned many life lessons here. If your a girl who loves adventure and is eager to try new things, this is the place for you! Thanks for everything, Camp Ak-O-Mak!
If it weren't for Ak-O-Mak, I would not be the person I am today. I've been going to this camp for almost a decade, and it has taught me not only how to be strong, but also seen me through some of my most difficult times. I will never stop loving Ak-O-Mak, because I know that it always has had and always will have only the most positive effects on my life.
Honestly the best camp I have ever been to. You become part of a family. I can't even begin to explain how much Akomak means to me. It will forever be my favourite place on earth.
I was a camper at Ak-O-Mak for six years and I can honestly say that my summers at Ak-O-Mak were the best experiences of my life. At Ak-O-Mak girls are provided with a safe environment to enjoy being a kid, build confidence, and make lifelong friendships. Campers are encouraged to push their limits and realize their true potential whether it be through sports, social activities, or personal goals. The small size of Ak-O-Mak fosters great relationships between campers and counselors and girls leave camp with a family that will last a lifetime. The counselors and staff at Ak-O-Mak genuinely care about the well being of campers and make an effort to reach out each camper and help them achieve their goals. As a sports camp, Ak-O-Mak offers first rate coaching in swimming as well as canoe/kayak, running, and triathlons. Campers will leave camp a better athlete and team player. Ak-O-Mak truly is an amazing place and I would recommend it to anyone.
Heard amazing things, cannot wait to be there! I will be working as staff up there for the last 2 weeks of the summer and I know I'm going to have a great time not only with the kids but staff as well!!! See you all soon!
I attended this camp 5 summers in a row as a teen and it was one of the best experiences of my life. It teaches sportsmanship, perseverance, & good old fashioned hard work. It also provides lifetime long friendships. I have 3 kids of my own now and I can only hope they have just as great an experience as I did.
this camp was really good! I love a good competition and what the other kid said was wrong! The camp isn't always based on competition... it's about friendship! I definately reccommend it!
It was an ok camp I guess. I was ten and made lots of friends, but when we had to do R.A.M.B.O. we had to run through a beaver poo river. AND I saw a skull!!! Do you know how terrifing that was?
