Camp Heart O The Hills reviews

This is the best camp ever! just because it's a run down hotel, doesn't make it a dump. this camp has history. And it makes you feel fun,safe and welcomed. The food may be bad, but those cooks work there hartest. They have to serve at least 105 kids 3 times a day. This is the most amazing camp ever.the camp director is the nicest person in the whole whole world.!!!!

This was my daughter's first year at camp. She attended the 2 week session. She had a great time. I was pleased for the most part with the camp. I do think they "keep selling" a bit much and would have liked to have received a more detailed report on her experiance and instead got a report that talked about how she can't wait to come back. Other than that it was great.

I've been going to this camp since i was 7 years old and I am now 15 about to be 16. I have been to other camps and Heart O' the hills is by far the best camp i have been to. From the facilities to the activities. I absolutely love it there! I reccomend it to ANYONE! It is a beautiful camp.

Altho I view web sites skeptically, I wish I had seen this site before sending my niece here. I, too, was swayed by its association with Stewart for boys. My niece, not having anything to compare it to, loves HOH. But it is very disorganized; the living quarters for most girls are in a run-down hotel-like building & different ages are sometimes mixed in order to max-out the "cabins"; the horseshow activities that I saw focused on limbo-like games involving who could jump off their horse and eat a Snickers bar the fastest;the camp director, while well-meaning, often doesn't reply to negative input even when it comes from multiple parents about the same issue. To top it off, this year, they're cutting 3 days or 10% off the second term due to school schedules & yet charging the same tuition as for a full term. Don't seem to be very high standards for hiring counselors; rules are enforced lackadaisically because HOH can't afford to lose campers, many of whom get lax discipline at home.

My twin 9 year olds just returned from a month session at HOH. We were beyond pleased. The girls had a wonderful time. The counselors were so sweet to my girls ..we recieved handwritten letters and updates on the girls 2 times while at camp. I felt they were safe,well cared for and learned so much while they were there. I highly recommed this camp for families who want a wholesome,fun, rewarding and unpretentious camp for their girls! They are already talking about next summer!

The counslers were evil! They dod not care about us at All! I hated it there so much! The food was so bad one would be better off eating cardboard. The activeties are so boaring. every one was so mean to me. I cried every night. it was the worst camp ever! I recomend it to no one. I went to frost valley farm camp the next year and it rocked! i recomend that one!

it was the worst camp ever

This place is awful! My 10-year old daughter hated it in 2006. I was appalled by what a dump it was. When I went to pick her up on parents' day, they tried to force everyone to go outside during a raging lightning storm! I kept my daughter inside a building. No one even noticed she wasn't with the group outside. They never missed her! They do not give the parents any help getting the child's luggage down the 3 flights of stairs. You are completely on your own. There are no workers to help. They hire foreign counselors who work cheap.The food is lousy (according to my child). Send your child to Sky Ranch instead. She's gone there for 5 years. It is the most organized, safe, fun, loving, beautiful camp. At least I don't have to worry about her safety at Sky Ranch. In all fairness, though, my 2 grandsons have been going to HOH's brother camp for boys, Camp Stewart. It is newer and nicer. The boys like it fine, but they've never gone to any other camp. They can't really compare.
