Camp Qwanoes reviews

Camp Qwanoes is boss , because : Everything ! & knowing that some people come from across the world to come and counsel or even just to go to the camp , it shows it's a pretty great camp . Don't hate ; Just be greatful . ?

Finally a site I can leave feedback because the camp sure doesn't want to hear it. The summer of 2011 I heard was the worse the camp had, sick kids everywhere and the staff were dead tired. My kid ended up getting sick too - poor system in place to deal with it. Really mean director yelled at me on the phone! A guy named Jay! Food is crap as so many have said. Q town is fun till the preaching starts! Waterfront looked like fun. Some bathrooms are crappy. Tents are NOT cabins! Overall not worth it, going somewhere else for my kids.

I would never recommend your camp to anyone else. The facilities and activities are amazing. He loved the freedom and time with friends. He however was scared by the Q town sessions. After your camp he was crying and confused. I have spent time unraveling the damage.Your teachings focused on all the scary parts of religion. He was told that all those that do not believe in Jesus will go to hell. He had to read until late to turn his mind off.He was also told to repent his sins each night.Many other scary bible stories were shared with him. Some highlights he shared were the end of the world, sin, hell, repenting. My hope was that going to your camp would bring him closer to God,unfortunately it turned him off. I believe your camp should let parents know how big the religious component is of your camp.Your Brainwashing backfired. My husband equates your camp to going to a time share in Hawaii:you get all the fancy fun things to do but have to put in your time to listen to the speech.

ok this camp is the BEST camp FOOD:it was prety good the had bbq some nights hot dogs qausiias pizza .. there was alot to eat and if u were vegatarian there was a vegatarian section BATHROOMS:they were alright the older ones were atleast the new ones were fantastic and the old ones i didnt really want to shower in and if you go i would suggest going in the new ones CABINS:were pretty good there were a couple u could get there were the new ones (they are amazing very nice) there were these tents...SUCKS and te older cabins which were ok kinda small ACTIVITIES: greatt soo much to choose from skate boarding aqua park challenge coure club coco alott COUNSLERS:they r awesome well mine were i got fiona and melissa they were the best OTHER:i am christan and i feel they push you to much about. Summer 10' OUT OF THIS WORLD can't wait for next year 11' Here we go HIGLEY! sugest u take ur kid

Camp was great!!! soooo much fun! the food was good, lot's of variety, i am not christian, and yes it's a bit forced on you, but for some reason, i keep going back because it's just soo much fun! lot's and lot's of activities to choose from, for some reason people expect the cabins to be like amazing, and they aren't but not many cabins are going to be amazing so suck it up and deal with it. plus the cabins ARE clean. the bathrooms have gotten alot better. There is alot of candy, but YOU choose what candy you want so it's YOUR choice if you get a ton or not. CLub CoCo has the most amazing smoothies and milk shakes ever!!! GO TO THIS CAMP!!! the couselor's are always caring and all the staff just have great personalities and energy, night games ROCK!!! I will deffinately go for my third year this summer!

The bathrooms & showers are disgusting! The cabins don't have locks and you have to walk down 1500 stairs to get down to the water & 1500 stairs on the way up. They give you way to much candy (Tuck) and there food is really really really really really gross. Also the cabins dont have heating or electricity. NEVER GOING BACK!

My child has been acouple times, and her review is, food is ok, not the best. games, the same each year just with a differnt twist. She thinks and I agree - too much tuck! (candy), staff are burnt out, tired. bible pushed abit too much, we do go to church. Cabin was a huge tent, bathroom needing huge upgrades. She did hurt herself that week and the nurse and paramedic team there was the best she said, so kind and we even got a phone call and updates. I found out no AED at the camp, a big surprise as they are in schools and pools. Overall if she wants to go back we'll let her, but we are looking else where for now. Seems the camp is spending money in other places than the cabins and washrooms.

this is and awesome camp it was my first year, so much fun!!! My counselor's were alright but still really awesome I love the activities and the food the tree houses are amazing and some of the themes for cabin clean up are amazing and Q-town ROCKS! our speaker was really caring and everyone was so zany and like random so I totally fit in if my mom let's me I am so entirely coming back! Send your Child here this place is Awesome! night games rule and no I'm not christian and most of my cabin mates weren't either. And yes it's a bit more christiany than I liked but it was stil totally amazing I loved it!And I am not becoming Christian EVER!!! SO much silliness!

Awesome Camp! The staff truely care about you and are fun and loving at the same time. Great activities. I love the prime waterfront and docks and water smorg. Challenge Course was sooo much fun, especially the Skyscraper!

The staff didn't seem to pay attention and the food was disugusting and the cabins where sooo bad built for like $1 each I'm honestly not kidding!!

THis is the best place ever! send your kid here you will not regret it! The activitys are the best really well organized there is a little pressure to become christian but if you're strong you can stand it!

While the staff mean well and believe that they are doing the right thing, this camp is pretty darned good at brainwashing kids. It's fine to want to spread a certain message, but to make children terrified of going to hell because they don't agree with your message is sick. It's a neat camp, but the way they evangelize is disgusting and confrontational, and I will never send my children there until this is fixed.

GREAT CAMP I WENT TO SUMMER 2007 ''LETS GO.''AND IT WAS THE BEST CAMP I HAVE EVER BEEN TO IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FUN MY COUNSERLERS NAMES WERE CHLSEA AND FRITHA THE WERE SO KIND AND AND CARING!!!!THE BATHROOMS WERE ALL-RIGHT SORT OF RANDOM STILL GOOD THOUGH THE CABINS WERE AWESOME BUT SORT OF RANDOM I AM COMING BACK THIS YEAR AGAIN DEFINTLYIT WAS SO AWESOME COOL FUN AND RADICAL!!!!FROM:KYLIE!

I have been going to camp qwanoes for seven years and I love it!! It is the best camp I have ever gone to!!! Everything about it is sooo amazing!!!!I dare to soar camp qwanoes 2008 junior high~~~~~~~~~ I LOVE QWANOES!!!!

Wow, thats all i can say about this camp. Qwanoes has actually changed my life, i found god at this camp. I started going to church every sunday after my first year. This will be my fourth, and i still get amped everytime i see the parking lot and i look at the big field. Skyscraper, Screamer, Breath taker, artragous, water blob... i love it all. Russ Smith is such an amazing guy and Q-Rok at 8:05 am in the morning always makes me smile. Stevie G and the all star games!! I dare to soar at Youth camp 08 baby!!! OH! and the Banquet! SO AMAZING!! last years outside was AMAZING!!! Club Coco!!! Can't wait! see you all in the summer!! god Bless!!

This camp is awesome. The staff isnt old people they are young, someone you can look up to.. and if there is olf staff they are soo nice and possivtive that you respect them. to all the people before me... look at the focus of this camp. it says focus:religious. i agree you shouldnt be pressured but alot of people there are christians so it doesnt seem that pushie to them, i wasnt a christian.. i went there and i can say it changed me but i actually didnt accept jesus there but at home.. soo i mean its all how you take it!

Great overall camp, cabins and bathrooms could be better. I love the activities in this camp, especially the "skyscraper". Food was great, worth the money, tuck shop and the ice cream island was cheap and yummy. The souvenir shop was a little expensive though. The religious part of it was ok, but I wish we had more time for activities than religion as we only get around 4 hours a day for activities. The All-stars games were very fun. I loved the night games. I went for my 4th year already and I hope to continue into my 5th. Great camp.

Amazing camp. I went there for 5 years, and I miss it so much now. The amount of activities is enormous and I really liked the religous part of it as well, they taught you alot of good stuff.

This camp is the bes everyone everyone is very friendly and i loved it the first day i was there. this is going to be my third time this summer and im going to go every summer till im 18. its awesome the youth group and everyone are awesome i say its the best camp by far! everyone should try it, im not chritian and i love it there, its a place where no one will judge you and u can have the time of ur life!

This camp was major fun. The camp activities were awesome and the games were fun. There was just a little too much on jesus and that stuff but the rest of the camp was awesome!

Camp Qwanoes is an awesome camp with amazing people and staff. The food and activities are amazing. The councilers do a great job and make everyone feel welcome. At times this camp is very bent on making everyone christian and it sort of makes you feel guilty. I think this camp would be out of this world and would have amazing success if they focused the camp on attracting everyone

I LOVE this camp!!! It will be my 4th year, and it just keeps getting better. The counsellors are always there for you and you can tell they really enjoy working there. There is alot of religious preaching, but you should just come there with an open mind and take it all in. The activities are always so fun and exciting. You honestly leave feeling like your life is changed!!!

The best camp EVER! Lots of religious things, but it does show you more to life, not just christianity, it shows values and how to live life. There is a little pressure but you just have to stand up for yourself. The activities are great and so are the counsellors, and the proprety is ahmazing! GRREATT!

I agree with the guy who posted before me. I think Christians biggest downfall is that they guilt people in to becoming christian.

most amazing camp i have been too. every second is action filled, the counsellors are so amazing, and never to busy to talk too you. they are really concerned about the safety and well being of campers,.. and the most friendly people i know. i start counting down the days to camp from the second i register in january,.. and the days are gone before i know it when i atchually get there. the cabins are great, and i dont think i have ever seen garbage on the grounds. i totally reccomentd this camp. you child will have such a great time, i can guarantee it. ive had a blast for 5 years, and plan on being a counsellor in training there next year because it is such a positive atmosphere.
