When I signed my daughter up for Pembroke, I had hoped she would come home as a stronger individual having tried new activities and experienced things that we cannot give her at home. Unfortunately, this is not what happened. I do not think that she was pushed at all to try new things and was in a bunk with 15 other girls so individual attention and encouragement was lacking. It would not be right for me to say she had a bad summer, but I think that there was a lot of girl drama and cattiness that I was hoping she could avoid in a camp environment.
Camp Pembroke is the best camp ever. You make life long friends. The first year i went i came back asking my parents if i could go all seven weeks. There your summer sisters. Camp is my home away from camp. I wish i could go there year round. There are seven agegroups. The 3 oldest agegroups get to go on overnight field trips to Attitash, Marthas Vinyard, And Club getaway. We also take day trips. If you have trouble making friends at school you will have no problem. You should send your daughters here. Love Camp Pembroke
I went this year, for my first year. It was amazing! Its the best camp I've ever been to. The staff are so nice and caring, everyone is so welcoming. Camp pembroke friends are like your summer sisters. The activities were great. Waterskiing is a watersport you may want to try (although the boat is broken often) I love camp pembroke! Sned your daughters here, they'll love it!!!
I went for 2009. Worst camp ever. It was my 1st time away from home even though i was entering 6th. 1st night i was crying and a counselor took me outside and pretty much told me i was a crybaby. All the girls in my bbunk were B...... teased me, spit on my bed, hid stuff in my dwarers and said i stol it, went through my stuff,, etc. Te cits were really nice though>
My daughter (NOT from MA) has been going for 6 years and feels a life long connection to the girls who have become her family. Her sense of connection to judiasm has been enhanced. The girls are very down to earth and accepting of everyone new. Perfect place for a girl to spend her summer.
Y'Rush 09!! I love camp. The girls here become family. In addition, their not just my summer sisters, they are also there for me through out the year, and I love them. This will be my sixth year, and I would recommend this to any girl, but I suggest they start at a young age, and they can develop life long friendships easier.
Camp Pembroke is the best place on earth i wish i could spend every day there! i miss it so much cant wait TSFAT 08! i miss you girls so much camp pembroke is my home and i love it
I have had a lot of problems with people at school. But when I am at camp, nothing at home matters. I have started to look at camp like my real home and my house here is my home away from home. Also, these girls are not jappy. One of my best friends is like legit, wicked rich and the first summer I had no idea that she had a lot of money. Nobody cares. I love camp. I love camp. I love camp!!! TSFAT '08!!!! YEAH BABBBYYYYYYYYY!
This is my 8th summer at Camp Pembroke, my first ever being a counselor! I must say, this place has changed my life forever. No where else can you be yourself and make such true friends as at camp. Shabbats at camp are so special so much fun. If you want to send your daughter to a place where she won't have to worry about appearances and she can just let loose and be herself, Camp Pembroke is the place. JC's 07!
This camp is the best place on earth and without it i don't know where I would be. The friends that i've made are my best friends and will be for the rest of my life
OMG this is the most amazing camp ever! it is home.. everyone is so nice, we are not jappy at all. just because we are all jewish doesnt mean we are japs. this is the best place and the people are amazing!
horrible...just horrible. its the PEOPLE! why don't people understand that camp is not about facilities or activities or food or if its traditional. sleepaway camps are all about the people. and if i do say so myself, the girls are jappy. someone said "i was accepted in their circle of friends." yeah well what if you're not? think about that before you send your girls to pembroke.
Honestly, going to camp was probably the best decsion i ever could have made. I started off going into 5th grade and i though that the girls would be cliquey but i was accepted into their circle of friends. I have made friends that are the nicest girls anyone could ever meet. Without camp, i wouldn't be the girl i am today. Camp has taught me that you can't get along with everybody but there are some things that you need to overcome in life. Don't think twice. Send your girls to Pembroke now and make the best choice you could ever make for them.
i really honestly tried to love it here. no one was nice to me. i even started at a young age but everyone was so cliquey...do yourself a favor and go to a different camp where the people are nicer
I LOVE MY BROOKIES !! camp pembroke is the best thing that ever happened. there are the nicest girls and i have been going since elat dimona and i love it. GO TO CP<33
Unless you've been going to camp here since you were 6to be shunned by the snotty girls here. they are cliquey, obnoxious, and spoiled. And the counselors are just older versions of the campers.
