Camp Aloha reviews

I absolutely love Aloha! Its a place that I can go in the summer and be myself. Living in platform tents can sound kinda scary and different but you get really used to it and you get really close to your tent family. The staff is great and they are all amazing role models. I have made some of my best friends at camp some that I know I will be close with for a very long time. I am so excited to go back this year!

I went to Aloha as a first-year camper last summer. Although the camp itself was very beautiful, and the people were friendly, I kept a calendar and marked off the days just waiting to go home. I had a difficult time making friends because of all the stupid traditions that I walked in on half-way. Everyone at this camp has practically known each other since birth, and their grandparents are all best friends. I do not recommend Aloha for first-time campers. However, if your daughter is young then I do recommend sending her if you have the money. I'm sure she can invest herself in priceless friendships and a great sense of tradition.

The best experiences I've ever had have all come from Aloha. I've been a camper for many years and I can't wait to become a counselor!

aloha is my favorite place in the world. there are rules and tradition but that is everywhere and if you get into it its the most fun. free to be yourself and learn what you can do

My daughter is in her fifth (and last) year at Aloha Hive and absolutely loves the experience, the community, the counselors, the activities. Astonishing what this Camp and all the Aloha Camps achieve in this day and age: a complete embrace of the essential things in life such as friends; nature; full-throated singing; the freedom to be silly and to be yourself; activities and events that are, simply put, old-fashioned fun; and oh yes, discovering what you like to do and who you are away from parents, families and teachers who hover, hover, hover (trust me...I know...I am one of those hovercrafts). My son also attended Lanakila for five years and has such an attachment to the place, its traditions and many personal and cherished memories. Both of my children describe Aloha as one of the best -- if not THE BEST -- things we have ever given them. You won't go wrong in making this choice for your children.

i would not recommend aloha, especially to new campers. my experience: very confusing in beginning; exclusive tentmates; unhelpful staff; strict about family contact; few and exclusive activities; stupid traditions; only one option on food; VERY expensive!!! don't spend your money on aloha!!

i went to aloha for a year, and i didnt like it very much. they were so incredibly strict i couldnt enjoy myself it was hard to be silly goofy and loud . you were so limited with activities and things to do i got bored easily. nothing was fun. the counselors were rude to me just because i was more of a city girl,the only thing i liked was some girls i met there who are now my bestfriends. if you're looking for a lot of fun i wouldnt recomend aloha its too strict and uptight.

i had a bad time. u can't contact your parents except thru snail mail. u sleep in deplorable shacks and tents with bugs and leaky tops. it sucked wish i hadn't gone!

most amazing place in the world, I wish I could stay there all year long. I've met the most incredible and nicest people here and at lanakila. driving away at the end of camp is like leaving my home for an entire year. I love this camp and highly recommend it.

My children have been attending the Aloha family of camps for over 6 years. One of my daughters will be a counselor this year. Tremendous life experience for all of them!

I went to Aloha for two years and I loved it so much! It is a great experience, and you meet so many amazing people there. I met some of my closest friends at Aloha. Everything is simpler there - there's nothing to distract you from what's important, that being friends and community. The counselors are so wonderful, and there is such a close bond between the counselors and the kids. The lake is beautiful, as is the camp itself. There are tons of fun traditions and the camp is so full of life and love. It's such a great place, and I think about it every day. I HIGHLY recommend it.

This is a quality, quality experience for young girls and women. Top notch and worth every penny. Totally organized and well run. Girls have loads of organized activities every minute of the day. Great.

this camp is absoutly amazing. the second you enter on the first day of camo you are welcomed with open arms. the comunity that you join last a life time. i have been going to this camp for 6 yeas and there was never a dull moment. it has been rated the number one camp for girls before and i can see why. every time i go i am able to experience something really fun and new, if its climbing as mountain or canoeingn across the lakes i always had the amazing staff next to me. i know this camp wil remain in my heart and i hope you check it out.

Aloha provides a wonderful nuturing experience for girls. Outstanding counselors. As campers get older, opportunities for leadership.

Our daughters have gotten so much out of this camp, which has an incredible staff-to-camper ratio. Even campers who have had miserable camp experiences elsewhere seem to shine at Aloha. I can't say enough good things about the camp's philosophy, attention, creativity, and warm approach.
