ive been going to this camp for 4 years. i previously went to camp walden in NY and they made us eat in our bathing suits! horrible. at this camp everyone actually cares. the owners no every single kid by name and everyone feel loved. this last year only ONE person on general staff had not attended as a camper. people are so committed to this place. For example: i, along with a few other kids in my group, could not attend the new york reunion. (keep in mind this is the closest reunion for MOST ((not all)) of us) because of this we all decided to head to the cleveland reunion. On of my friends is the number one fencer in the world for her age group and shes missing a tournament in buhda-pest just to be able to come. thats how important this place is. i know people who have been counslors for 5 years because they cant bear to give it up. I seriously do not know who wrote the other reviews, but they are seriously mistaken. Camp Robin Hood is by far the highlight of my year. CRH4LIFE<3
Camp Robin Hood is the best thing I do for my son and daughter. Not only have they grown and matured at RH but the friends they made will last a lifetime. The new owners have rebuilt the camp from the ground up while keeping 82 years of traditions alive . New Lodge, amazing playhouse and a new dinning hall in 5 short years. The owners are all ex-RH campers who have kids themselves and understand today"s issues. The phone never stops ringing with good reports about my kids. I have sent all my friends and family to RH and have always been satisfied.
I loved Robin Hood when John & Joan were there. These new owners are raelly bad, they put on a show, Jamie is fake & WOODY is WACKO. They are so into money they all but stopped excurisions cuz liability & they cost $$. No trips to ice skating or climbing wall or even to climb Mt. Washington & we are so close. It's good Chuck is still there but he has no control. I would say stay away till new owners could be found. Right now this is "Camp Endangement", the buildings are falling down and the old staff is leaving.They charge your parents for EVERYTHING. They allow the worst foul mouthed kids to stay just for the $$. It's soooo hard to now hate something I once loved XOXO soooooo much!
This camp is absolutely great and run by an outstanding staff who treat every camper like their own children. From our first hand observations, the negative comments posted below are totally false and unfair. Our two children attened Camp Robin Hood for the first time this year and we could not have been more pleased (we live in Princeton, New Jersey). Excellent (and clean) facilities, a caring and creative staff, good food (for camp), and very nice kids. Robin Hood is very well maintained throughout (the new theater is awesome). The lake is beautiful, warm, and clean. There is a strong history and sense of tradition that makes every camper feel like they are part of something larger than themselves. Most importantly, our kids can't wait to go back next year. Make no mistake, this is a top tier camp that is worth every penny.
been there for one year... not great. the water in the waterfountains taste terrible and is brown, the lake is atrocious, the bathrooms...no comment, the food...ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING-we had chicken patties once but i thought it was stringy mystery meat, the basketball courts are so sandy and dirty you can barely see the lines and i fell every time, the bunks and beds are disgusting- there is gum everywhere and the floors are gross and unstable...once there was a storm and i felt like the bunk was going to fly off of the ground. to sum it all up... robinhood is pretty gross!
staff is amazing, you make great friends, the activities are usually good but it doesn't matter cuz u always have fun, big on sports but not a boot camp, Color war = amazing and intense, great traditions but some are being ruined by the owners
nice spirit and warmth to the camp. good sports but not over the top. good kids from all over. rustic and beautiful. what camp should be. excursions are fun and green and white is awesome. lots of tradition and good values.
