this is camp is really great and my daughter has the summer of her life! I went to sleepaway camp and I loved the feeling of walking to a canteen to talk and hang with friends, play games, and eat CANDY! lol I love the staff and outstanding new facilities, I really think the camp would benefit from having a canteen building.

Very expensive but worth it. They put their hearts and soul into everything for the children. Bunks are lovely, grounds beautiful and the food is both healthy and varied and most plentiful. They treat the children with love and firmness and the kids gain a lot of confidence and come back very satisfied with a great time at camp.

Unbelievable camp. Brand new facilities, big bright and clean bunks, wonderful food, the MOST caring staff a camp could have, Paul and Debbi (the directors) are the most amazing people you will ever meet. My child fell in love with the camp instantaneously. It's not about who wins or loses here. Every camper is encouraged to cheer the next one on regardless of ability. If you want your child to have the summer of their life, send them here.....to Chestnut Lake. They come home a totally different person. Already looking forward to CLC 2012!!!!

Chestnut Lake has really brought out the best in my daughter.Before going to this camp she was very shy and lacked confidence,however after attending a six week session there in 2008,she became much more independant and even ran for president of the school the following year and won. The morals they teach at the camp makes it worth every cent. Now she will be returning for her fourth year as a six week camper yet again. The staff are wonderful people who are easy to talk to and put in their best effort to connect with each camper. Paul and Debbi are also two of the kindest people I have ever met. As a parent, knowing how close they are with their children makes me even more assured of Paul and Debbi's credibility towards directors of the camp. Overall, if your child is open to trying new things, meeting amazing people, and learning to be better people, then without out a doubt you should enroll your child ASAP.The only flaw with camp is hearing your child whine when they are not there.

AMAZING CAMP!! It is clean and beautiful and has wonderful facilities. Bunks are big and really nice. The director (Paul) is the best. My son did 3 weeks and will do 6 this summer. My younger son is going too. Your children will be well taken care of and the communication between camp and parents is outstanding.

My daughter loves this camp! The facilities and counselors are top-notch. We couldn't have asked for a better experience for her.

My daughter was wishy-washy about going to sleep away camp. She went to CLC for the first time in the summer of 2010. She had a REALLY difficult time with homesickness; however, when she came home in August, she was so enthusiastic about going back for summer 2011 that I knew it really was the right place for her. The staff and the counselors, as well as her fellow campers made the experience so wonderful, that she is already counting the days until next summer. The activity level was fairly low-key, which was perfect for her. CLC allowed her to be herself, and encouraged her to try all kinds of new things - some she liked and some she didnt - but isnt that what camp is for? I am BEYOND pleased with her/our experience with CLC. We are so glad to be a part of their family.

I loved going to chestnut lake this past summer. I never thought i would love a place so much. None of the campers were mean at all and they welcomed me into the Chestnut Lake family right away. Rhonda and all of the division leaders are very warm and comforting, as well as the counselors. I will definitely go back next year to enjoy the fun activities and see my friends. WAKANDA (WAQUANDA) IS AWESOME!

New Camp with old traditions. You wont find a better director than Paul. My son started with 3 weeks then went to six weeks. The facilities are brand new and the activities are top of the line. Kids love it.!
