Camp Caribou reviews

Owners are not attentive. Truly not worth the money. The buddy my son was assigned to told us he was not going back should have taken that as a sign. My son went off to another sleep away camp and has been there for 7 summers. This was not a case of it not being the right fit. Camp was no where near what it was marketed to be. Skip this one go somewhere else.

Camp Caribou is such a special and spirited place. The Directors and all of the administrative staff and counselors are all caring and professional. Both of my sons truly love it there. They could not even imagine a summer spent anywhere else! It's fun, safe, and they positively transform every summer.

I have been at camp for ten years both as a camper and now as a counselor. Never a dull moment at camp and some of my best memories in life are from camp. My best friends are all from camp and i have met the greatest people from all over the world. Camp Caribou for boys...unforgettable summers.

I went to this camp for 7 years and they were the greatest summers of my life. The campers that go here are amazing, the counselors are amazing, and Bill and Martha are amazing camp directors. They are like second parents to me. They are care about the kids and how each one is adapting to camp life. This is the best place for any parent to send their kid for camp.

I went to this camp for six years and they were some of the best summers of my life. Bill and Martha make everyone feel welcome and accepted. They do everything they can to make everyone's summer enjoyable. Camp Caribou is a very special place and the perfect summer camp.

All the people here are great. Bill & Martha really know what they are doing. Caribou feels like one big family. I felt incredibly safe, and am shocked at some of the bad reviews posted here on this website.

This camp is truly amazing! All the boys who attend love it, they form amazing friendships while having the experience of a life time. I have worked here for 6 years now and couldn't be happier. The directors, Bill and Martha, have a very hands on approach and know all the kids and staff well. They enjoy spending time with the campers during the day doing lake swims or road runs. At Caribou we ensure that all boys are happy and enjoying every aspect of camp. A happy staff, great facilities and amazing boys make for unforgettable summers!

Its an awesome fun place where everyone feels like they belong there. Good staff and food, great facilities, and just a good environment for kids to be at.

Greatest place I've ever been. I went for 8 straight summer and all of my best friends in the world are from this camp. Program Director is one in a million and makes the camp atmospher amazing.

I never wanted to go to camp until my mom forced me at the age of 12. I went to caribou and it deffinantly changed my life. This is the greatest place on earth and even though I was only there for four short summers they were the greatest summers of my entire life. I would never ever trade the friendships I made there for anything. The Lermans are great people and they make every camper feel like he's a part of something big. The counslers are really nice to everyone. I would do anything for another summer in this place and I will always cherish the summers I spent here

Going to Caribou was the best 11 summers of my life. Bill and Martha really care about every camper, and give individual attention to everyone. I would entrust Bill and Martha with my life and the life of my loved ones. I went to camp with two of my brothers, and we all loved it. My oldest brother went to another camp for 1 year, and then came to Caribou for 5 years and brought my other brother an I. The cabins are very comfortable, and the athletic facilities are all very good. The counselors are trained thoroughly and excellently. Each counselor really wants to be there and enjoys camp and treats the campers with great care. I would recommend Caribou to parents and children alike.

I went to Camp Caribou for 8 years as a camper and they were the best 8 summers of my life. The kids and staff always made me feel welcome and all I have are good memories of being there. The facilities are great, especially the gym where I spent most of my time. Bill and Martha are incredible people who taught me so much and truly made me a better person. I made many lifelong friends at caribou who I still keep in touch with today. Great Camp!

Bill and Martha are awful directors only want your money. They do not care about the kids at all. My son went for one year as my neighbors highly recommended caribou. Well lets just say that their idea of a safe environnment is not mine. After doing some investigating there was an issue at caribou years ago that was in the local news concerning safety. Was my son fine at camp, yes he is a great kid with a good head on his shoulders. Would I sent him or one of his brothers back absolutely not. I know what good camp is as my daughters and older son went somewhere else. Caribou falls short on many points.

This camp was not good! The food sucked! The counclers were mean and it was the worst summer of my life! Do not go to this camp!

Horrible camp. Brother went for one year, all they want is your money. He went somewhere else for five years and it was amazing. Would never send a child to caribou. I think safety is an issue and directors are awful.

This is a special place. Bill and Martha make this camp a cut above. They are both out and about with the kids and are truly surrogate parents. Evening activities are creative and fun, with Wednesdays and Sundays reserved for all-day special programs. As beautiful a setting as you could imagine.(private peninsula, only camp on lake)

Worked here for one summer- worst summer of my life. Working for Bill and Martha is horrendous! It is amazing people still send their children to this camp when there are so many better options for the same money. Another review mentioned the one year counselors- that is true, one summer with Bill yelling at you and screaming "you owe me money" in staff meetings- (saying basically don't take it easy the last week or so of camp) is by far enough. The facilities are pretty basic, but nothing like many of the other camps we visited in the summer- some of them were amazing. My suggestion, pass up this camp and move on to a better choice.

All of my children started camp at age 8 in Maine.This was my fourth time sending a child to sleep away camp. Worst experience ever. Owners care nothing about the kids it is about money. My son had two counselors who did not want to be there. Luckily the next year my son went to a camp that was safe and fun.

Overall, Camp Caribou is USUALLY a fun place. The activities are really repetitive at times, and can get REALLY boring and not worth it. The food is terrible (but the owners don't seem to care enough to change food services), and the counselors are for the most part, ignorant. A lot of them are 1 summer counselors only at the camp so that they can tour the country afterwards. The counselors only care about their days and nights off, and could really care less what anyone is doing, especially to each other. So many things have been done by campers to campers, not even as pranks, but because of their hate for one another, and these problems are not even addressed by the owners, mainly because the counselors don't care enough to report it, and sometimes even join in. Further, the camp highly denounces pranks, unless by the oldest campers, so campers do much harsher things in more secrecy. The owners need to get some better food (which actually contributes a lot to the experience), think u

I have worked at this camp for the past 12 years. The owners are awesome and actually get involved with the campers in the activities. The facilities are great, the staff are great.

Not worth it. Worst summer of my life. Counslors mean, food bad, and facilities bad. Do not go to this camp.
