We just picked up our 9 year old. He had a wonderful time. He was a bit homesick in the beginning, but the counselors and staff at CT handled it perfectly. He was only there for a few weeks, but he seems to have grown in so many ways. He is more mature, seems to have learned a lot, and made many friends. I was astounded by the type of training he received, particularly as he prepares to play football this fall. The facilities are exactly what a traditional summer camp should be.
This was our son's first year at Tecumseh. He had a wonderful time. The rustic facilities were exactly what we were looking for. the instruction and activities were well balanced. he had an overall great experience and will be returning.
Incase you didn't notice the only bad coments are from winaukee kids (it is a poorly run attempted improvement) the truth is Tecumseh is an original, we have the oldest camp traditions in the country. The counselors are highly experienced high school and collage coaches. Many D1 collage athletes come up to help you master sports, sportsmanship, and class. The Tecumseh staff and campers make CT the greatest place on earth.
This is a boot camp. Counselors are disrespectful and treat people like garbage. They have no consideration for any of the campers, just for the money. If you want a nice, organized and athletic camp, send your children to Winaukee, it is right down the road.
If you are considering Tecumseh for your kids, know this: it is a BOOT CAMP. Most of the boys shave their heads, and they are allowed to wander off camp and in to a conveinence store across the street without even lettin a acounselor know. It is just a big farm. Trust me, I've been there.
I LOVE CAMP TECUMSEH. ive been going for 3 yrs and i love every bit of it. nothing to complain about, and it really helps you develop athletically and builds more character then u kno what to do with. the friends you make her last forever, and im glad as hell i go and am proud to be beatin pemi every year baby. represent the h.o.g. '08
Such a great camp. Not for the rich new yorker type but they cam go to camps with TVs in the bunks and arcade games. Every kid there is great at sports and we always win lakes region tourneys, I always come back stronger tham before. It is very loosely run (but still very safe) and lets everyone to do summer their way. You get out of camp at least 3 times a week for sports or a trip to the movies or Jo-jos general store (a convenient place across the street where we cam buy some junk food and stash it in the cabins). There are unique activites found in few other places such as (real) rifelry, fencing, windsurfing, high diving, wrestling and rowing, not to mention other great ones found elsewhere. Campers also get a lot of personal instruction. Cabins are in the middle of the woods and very fun and rustic (probably shouldn't go if you get scared easily though) and you form friendships that include nearly everyone. Food's not great, but almost everyone comes back for a second year.
