This camp was great! The staff was very friendly & helpful when we came to check into our cabin for family camp (I've know a few previous summer camps that just read your name of a list & give you your cabin #). The campership fund is a great idea for families that have trouble paying for camp space because of the recession & it's also great because it helps make sure that the valuable activities (i.e. horse riding, living arts, & leadership camp) aren't restricted to a fixed income bracket (a flaw in camps that increase the cost of admission due to having an activity that is in great demand). The things I did at camp showed that the councilors had a BIG focus on shared responsibility (as opposed to some councilors that expect too much of the campers or deride unwanted tasks as "Someone else's job"). The councilors talked a lot about community & the camp really did fell like a community and not just a place to stay for the summer. Overall it was very fun. I look forward to next summer!
This is probably the BEST camp a child/young adult can go to. The experience at Camp Aldersgate is unmeasurable to any degree. I went to this Camp when I was younger for about 12 years straight and every summer I would look forward to going back. Its not just a place to socialize with new and old friends but a place that can turn your life into something you have never felt or seen before. You will find out who you really are after only a few days of camp. If I could describe Camp Aldersgate in one word I would say "MAGICAL". There has always been something about the camp that I could never put my finger on. I would highly recommend the living arts camp if you do decide to go for the first time. Maybe it's the staff or possibly the daily activities, I will never know what makes this camp so special. If you want the experience of a lifetime that will stay with you forever then please go to Camp Aldersgate and stay even if its for only a weekend retreat camp. Thank you for reading.
I went to Camp Aldersgate for 11 years and loved every minute of it. What a wonderful place to be outdoors, surrounded by supportive and creative staff, while making life long friends. I can't recommend CA enough!
I always loved going to camp Aldersgate as a kid. It still brings smiles to my face when i think about everything i did there. Its an amazing place with amazing staff.
