Just all around no good. Directors were never around. Counselors were left to run the camp themselves with no training. Never stuck to daily schedule and campers spent most of the day just hanging out, not doing activities. Meals would be hours late. Pool disgusting. Dining room unfinished. Wasn't even a camp nurse the first couple of weeks. Their camp mission is good, but their delivery is a disaster.

My daughter has attended Camp MoveIT and it was the most amazing thing that I had ever seen. Not only was the Camp beautiful to see, but it was well structured and an amazing growing experience for my daughter. The Inspirers truly lived up to their names and they took the girls under their wings, as did Jill. My child learned to swim and ride a bike at Camp MoveIT and the picture that is most priceless to me is one of Jill standing at the foot of the pool congratulating her when she swam the first lap of her life. Jill personally visited potential campers, got to know each family, and she made a point to provide scholarships to kids, like mine, who otherwise would not have been able to afford summer camp. I don't know what the issues were this year, but I know the passion and love that Jill has put into Camp MoveIT and I don't believe that a year of illness should define a life's work. Get to know the camp yourself rather than rely on the words of a few disgruntled employees.

it was a hard year at the camp. the rooms were never dirty, they may have been slightly messy from having 8 girls live in them though. everyone wash having fun and all the girls bonded right away. jill and brigid spent time creating amazing activities for the campers, but had to deal with all the lies on websites and multiple issues otherwise that were important. the camp is still fantastic and doesnt deserve anything that came at them this year. stay strong jill!

This camp looks good on the web and on paper, but it is not what it seems. During session one in 2012, there was no camp nurse for the majority of the session. After session one, 7 of 8 of the Inspirers left, leaving an absence of counselors. Three cooks have also left. This is because this camp can be a very unhealthy environment. Campers and employees were publicly demeaned and cussed at by the directors. The pool failed health inspections but was still used. The candy concession that parents paid for wasn't ready until days into session one. The daily schedule is rarely honored which means a lot of down time for campers. Please research and consider this camp carefully before paying for and attending it.

This camp is so unstable that the things campers paid for we're never available when they were at the camp. I went to see my daughters room and it was really dirty. I will never send daughter there again. Also the staff is not well trained. It's not the staffes fault it is the owners Jill Powell.

This year will be my fourth year at camp MoveIt. I love it. Last year they moved the camp to NY from ME and not everything was ready but we still had a blast. I have seen pictures of all the work they have done and I can't wait. Jill is really amazing. We even keep in touch during the year and make trips to NYC which are really fun.
