CAMP TOCKWOGH IS AMAZING! I am a camper and I love to go, well actually now I will be an LIT. It is an amazing place that helps you learn how to get along with everyone and have the time of your life. When you send your kids to tockwogh it is safe and fun, there is nothing for you to worry about. The best weeks of my life have been at tockwogh and if you are looking for a camp to send your child stop here. tockwogh is the best you will find.
Great activities, not such a great experience. Daughter (middle school age) was put in a bunk with girls who all knew each other and not only didn't include her, were aggressively mean. When the counselors saw it, which was rare, they responded to it, but for the most part they were oblivious. Since all the others had been to the camp before, necessary information was not explained to her. She found other friends in other cabins, and reported that only 1 of the other cabins was having a similar problem. If you go with a friend, it's probably a great place. If you are younger, and just making friends there, probably fine. New and middle school age, use caution and explain to your child ahead of time that if there is a problem, go for help to the area director.
This is my second year going to tockwogh and i want to go everyday of the year! everyone is just so friendly and caring. The campers there are so friendly and they are so non-jugemental. Where i live a lot of people go to tockwogh which isnt the best is, but they dont go my session which is good. tockwogh is such a great place to be! (SESSION THREE IS THE BEST)
I went to this camp last summer and had the best time ever. YOU NEED TO COME... Everyone is so nice, there are many amazing activities that you can sign up for, and if you don't have any friends that you know there it is very easy to meet new people that you will probably see every summer there. My personal favorite activity there is waterskiing but there are many other activities that you can choose from such as, horseback riding, cooking, outdoor education, art classes, instrument classes, extreme sports, sailing, rock climbing, water tubing, volleyball, kickball, swimming, canoeing and kayaking, AND MANY MANY MANY MORE. If you come I promise you will have a outstanding time and will make many new friends.
I just want to say that camp tockwogh is my favorite place in the entire world and if i could be anywhere in the world right now it would be there. I look forward to seeing my friends and sailing every summer. I have been going for five years now and if I could I would stay the entire summer. I know, it is pricey, but the experiences and memories are priceless. I have grown up to be a very independent person and also a leader to my peers. If you are even considering sending your kid here, sign up right now. you will not regret it. the earlier your child goes the more they will love it. (SESSION 3 IS THE BEST)
My child had a wonderful time at this camp. The counselors are warm and friendly and are always coming up with things for my son to do. For kids who are so hooked to technology these days this camp provides a great escape and a chance for kids to be active. When my son came home he was already asking to go back.
My kids attended last summer for the first time and had a tremendous amount of fun. They really enjoyed their counselors, bunks and activities, despite uneven weather. The bay offerings were wonderful and well-supervised. The only thing I noticed is that the camp directors weren't near the cabins at pick-up, so you really couldn't talk with them. They did send follow-up communication later in the Fall.
I have mixed feelings about the camp. My child had a WONDERFUL first experience at camp and learned many new things. The counselors were great! It was everything I thought summer camp would be for a kid. However, my child came home with severe 2nd degree sunburns (bloody raw skin)& a foot infection. My child has been to the dr twice for this now and it has cost us a few hundred dollars to get the foot and sunburn healed properly. The burn should have been addressed more swiftly when my child was at camp rather than me taking care of it at home almost a week after the incident. The foot infection occurred at the end of camp and was not noticed by the staff. I know they can't keep an eye on everyone, but when a child is limping, someone should probably find out why. The nurse managed my child's daily medicines for the week just fine though. So even though my child had a great experience, I'm not sure if my child will return next year b/c of how damaged the foot & skin were in their care.
I can't say enough good things about this camp. The staff is wonderful and helpful the activities are fun and the place is gorgeous. Honestly the best place on earth!
