Camp Wah-Nee reviews

my kids went here to for the first some- what a great place- the kids are just wonderful- friendly, down to earth! not too jappy at all, there is stuff for every type of kid here- and the staff is great. i highly recomend it for all!

What do you expect from a summer camp? A place for your child to make friends outside from those at school, learn athletic skills, experience new and exciting things. On a developmental level, especially for the young ones, a place to grow independently from the family while still being instilled with strong values and life skills. Wah-nee accomplishes all of this and more. Clearly the facilities are not comparable to those at Tyler Hill, but is that what we send out kids to camp for? Resort like facilities are not what makes a camp great. My kids aren't complaining about non air conditioned bunks built in the sixties (frankly, i think its part of the Wah-nee experience and charm) nor do I think they'd notice if next summer everything were brand new. They fell in love with the traditions, the spirit and the invaluable lessons Wah-nee has taught them. My kids come home beaming with smiles, counting down the seconds until next summer. What more could a parent want?

I am going back for my ninth summer (summer of 09) and it is the best place in the world. i have fallen in love with the camp itself and the people there. this camp has changed me and i am forever grateful for the love it has given me and lessons i have learned while attending. no place in the world contains as much spirt as do the wonderful people at wah-nee. if you have the chance to go here i strongly suggest you do. it will change your life and you wont be able to think about how u lived a summer with out it. i no one day i will have to enter the real world and not be a camp wah-nee and that will be the worst day ever. do your self or your child a favor, send he or she to wah-nee and give them somethig they will always remember and be thankful for.

To tell the truth, Camp Wah-Nee is the best thing that has ever happened to me. There is not a single day of the year that i do not talk to atleast one of my camp friends. The camp may not be as "resort like" as some other camps, but the people, spirit, and morals of Wah-Nee are what make the camp so special. From Jack D. Gordan to Six Flags, Camp Wah-Nee always guarentees an exciting summer. 2008 was my 6th summer and clearly my favorite, but what i have noticed is each year, i say the last summer was the best. This place can never get boring or monotonous as every summer brings new excitement. In reality, any camp can be ripped apart by jealous critics, who obvious have never experience true "Wah-Nee Spirit", but Camp Wah-Nee definently ranks among the top. The interesting and diverse staff all come with their specific specialties in making us, the campers, happy. Everyone at camp is there for the right reason, and seem to value every moment they have at camp. Senior II's '09!!

This camp is great in every way! I have made so many friends at this camp over all my years of being here. This was my fifth year at camp wahnee and im defanatly coming back for my sixth! *JUNIORS 08*.....OH YEAH!!!

As a parent, I can't believe the gall of this camp to charge almost $9,000 for this dump

words cant explain how amazing this place really is! Im counting down the days 285! LODGE 1 2009 is going to be amazing and I cannott wait! Best place to go!

In speaking with my friends at other camps, this place has the BEST spirit out there, but doesn't compare in any other way

I have gone to Wah-Nee for the past five years and next year will be my sixth year there. Camp is the best part of my life. Words can't explain what its done for me and simply, i wouldnt be the person i am now without it. -Senior 1's 09

i love this place honestly ive had some of the best times in my life here but the owners are some of the worst people you can come into contact with no sense of appreciation and if something goes wrong they have no problem cutting you loose hate the owners and upper management but love the place

this camp is absolutely amazing. ive learned so much from this camp i treasure each day that i am there. i made best friends that i can count on being friends with for my entire life. i live ten months just for two and i miss my camp friends soooo much. i didnt think this could happen but i really love my camp friends more than my home friends!! =] i loveee camp wahnee..!!! LODGE GIRLS 2009!

THATs MAD WRONG ONE TO FIVE DONT LOOK AT MY RATING I GIVE WAHNEE A 10 AND BYE THE WAY LENOX'S RATINGS SUCKS AND TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HATE WAHNEE, HOW? IT IS PHISICLY AND MENTALLY NOT POSSIBle !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! inters 09 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! astizz out

Camp Wah-nee is the best place in the entire world. Everything is amazing. I can't imagine a better place. I wait all year to see my friends and the camp again. It's going to be my fifth summer and I can't wait. You can't even explain how much everybody loves this camp. There is no doubt I'm coming back for Juniors '09.

Wah-Nee is amazing. Words can't even explain the love we have for this camp. The traditions and spirit will always be in our hearts. We learn so much there. We count down the days and look forward to it all year. This is going to be our 5th and 6th years at camp, and we haven't had second thoughts of not returning. We will go here for as long as we can. Fannies '09 is looking fine <33 "how can i explain why i return each year, it's something 1 must go through to understand." White Predators 2005

The owner is an egomaniac that feels it's his way or the highway........don't have an issue with your kid ......you won't be treated with respect

this is the greatest place you could send your kids......look no further. a truly special, special camp.

I love this camp so much! I can't even think about how you could not like it. Everything here is great and it creates whole new experiences. This will be my 6th summer and I cannot wait!

WAH-NEE OWNS!, i've been goin here since i was in 2nd grade, this will be my 8th year and i plan on coming back until i cant anymore. the activities r fun, the counselors r amazing, the spirit and enthusiasm is amazing. who cares about looks if u cant have fun. If u wanna go to camp, go here. SENIOR 2'S 08!!

This is the best place i have ever been to. The people i met there will be my friends forever and im positive of that. Ive been going there for 5 years and this summer will be my 6th. I suggest anyone interested in this camp to imediately sign up. I have had the time of my life since the start. I have grown up with these people and at first it takes some time to adjust but by my second year i couldnt stand being without all of them. I've learnt social skills, learning to not rely on my parents 24/7, to be good at so[ports, responsibiliy and respect for others. I couldnt be any happier that I found such an amazing place like wahnee. Lodge 1 will be AMAZINGGG!! i love you all who are going back and can;t wait t see you then. People interested in this camp dont hesitate and sign up!!!!

THIS CAMP STINKSS!! THEY MAKE YOU SQUARE DANCE AND IF YOU DONT HAVE A DATE ALREADY, YOURE CONSIDERED A LOSER. I LEFT CAMP 4 DAYS EARLY, AND WOULDVE LEFT EARLIER IF I COULD!! THE BOYS ARE WEIRD, AND THE GIRLS ARE MEAN!! DONT GO HERE!!

I've had the incredible oppurtunity to spend the past 13 summers at camp. It's shaped who I am as a person and has greatly influed my goals in life. Starting as a camper and working my way through the ranks to become a group leader there's no place in the world that I believe can have an impact as a camp warmed by caring and by tradition can. I have made more than lifelong best friends at camp. It seems that people try to teach their children to never judge a book by it's cover. Always remember camp is camp.. not a country club, I remember being upset they were building a pool because growing up we LOVED the lake (not going to lie, i'm a HUGE fan of the pool 6 years later!) All in all, There's something missing in me when I'm not there. It's who I am today.

Okayy well i LIVEE for wahnee soo 10--4--2 nddd well jets ohheightt gonna be insane!!! =] love you girls

honestlyy the people who are writing such rude things about this camp obviously havent experienced the magic of wah-nee, and all of you who are writing such nasty comments you dont need to go to this camp so let me ask you why do you caare so much?YOUR JEALOUS!

this camp is amazing!! and the gymnasium if finally finished! i cant wait to experience the amazing times in it. Wahnee has so much to offer and you will have the most amazing times of your life and find friends that you can trust and count on to be there for you FOREVERRR..camp wahnee <3

I luv camp wahnee soooo much!!!! Its amazing... its gonna be mi 4th year jets 08 cant wait<333

THIS CAMP IS HORRIBLE...NEVER EVER GO THERE...THEY ARE ALL B****** and they ARE SOO STUCK UP. PLUS ITS THE UGLIEST PLACE IN THE WORLD! I SWITCHED TO ROMACA...BEST PlACE EVER! THE PEOPLE ARE GREAT, THE FOOD IS GREAT, and I HAVE HAD THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE THERE. IT IS THE PRETTIEST PlACE YOU WILL EVER SEE, and THERE ARE NO PEOPLE HOOKING UP BECAUSE IT IS ALL GIRLS!

I've been going to this camp for 7 yrs. I love my girls and will miss every1 but im bored w/ doing everything over again. i cant explain the magic that happens at camp wah-nee, and the staff and frayda and everyone makes it the best. the only reason this camp isnt the best is because of jappy people and the drama at canteen i feel its hard to relate, and there's such a vast difference between me and some ppl in my division and on girls camp. dont get me wrong, camp is da best, but only if you can fit in. If so id totally love camp wah-nee because the tradition, history, and spirit and the few life long friendships have drawn me back for years. i wish i could love wah-nee like i used to, and 2 all angels and demons and comets i recommend making the most of ur younger summers and bond w/ ur camp sisters the most u can for it will secure ur place at wah-nee forever and youll never want 2 leave. When ever i hear a camp song i stil tear because camp has such a special place in my heart

The best summers of my life have been at Camp Wah-nee. It's my home away from home. At night I dream about the years to come and how I can't wait for summer of 08. I love everything about this camp, the counselors are always so caring and nice, the canteen is really cool, and the activities are amazingly fun! You really can't take a second for granted, because when you open your eyes, you're home again. When I grow up I will most definatly send my kids here, and I will probably be joining them.:). Can't wait for next year, Wah-nee1!!!!!!!!!!! Luv ya Comets 07!!!

Honestly, noone understands the magic of wah-nee unless you experience it yourself. Maybe it is not for everyone, but if you're looking for a passionate place where you can feel at home and rely on those friends for the rest of your life, wah-nee is it. Wah-nee is purely magical. There is no explanation for my experiences at camp. As a comet, a lodge girl, and more, I can not imagaine life without this place. I will be going there until I'm 40, no matter what. Those who go to wah-nee and don't realize this yet, will soon realize everything. Don't let a minute of wah-nee pass you buy and never, ever, ever, take anything for grantid.

wah-neeeee is life , <3 . it gave me the 4 best summmers of my life. 10-4-2=)

they make you do activities you dont want to. My frinds camps are much prettier and nicer

ownership has promised a new "indoor gym" for 4 years....we'll see if that happens for "08. Good staff and spirit here, but pompous and nasty leadership brings down the experience. My kids love it, but believe me it is not easy being a parent here when there is a problem.

iv been going tot his camp for 5 years and i love it!!!!! this year was the best summer of my life! senior trip was amazing!!!!!!i <3 the lodge '07

Very good staff here makes this place tick, but I have seen other camps (relatives and friends camps)that are much better value. There is great tradition here, but they treat you like idiots when you have a problem here. Most parents put up with it....I don't know why

Best camp ever and if you think differently your insane. Best place on the face of this earth.

My boys returned from their first summer at Wah-Nee both agreeing that this was the best summer of their lives! The wasted 3 summers at an inferior camp, which was mostly ruined by the inferior management. At Wah-Nee the owners, supervisory staff and all counselors are well trained in Wah-Nee traditions and Wah-Nee fun! There is not only an emphasis here on safety but also supervision. The campers ALL participate in all activities and within the first few moments of being a Wah-Nee Camper the kids have the Wah-Nee spirit. This camp does it right. The owners are selfless in their love of this camp and its campers, providing for a warm and wonderful camping environment. My boys can not wait for Summer 2008!

The staff is pretty good, but the camp still looks tired. My kids are very happy here, but I would never choose this camp at this point

wah-nee might not be as aestheicaly pleasing to some parents such as tyler hill or timberlake, but what some people tend to forget is that camp is not a resort, its an amazing place where children are given the oppurtunity to grow on their own and independently to their surroundings, wah-nee is always full of spirit, happiness, and tradition. Although the owners may not be the most personable people, many parents tend to forget that camp is a business and a huge responsibility if they were so busy kissing your ass than they arent able to keep an eye on your children, your most prized posession.

Camp Wah-Nee is the best camp ever. Any changes that are happening are only for the BETTER! Between my kids and I we have 15 years at Camp Wah-Nee and have never been diappointed - it is true what they say....Kids wait 10 months 4 the best 2 months of the year!

I think this camp is jinxed.....no gym for three years....fire that destroyed 5 bunks.....There are much better places to trust your children's summers

not what it once was......unfortunately this camp has seen better days

This camp is great I had a great time in summer 06'. I met sooooo many great friends that i will always remember. Although i must say all the counslers choose "favorites" and they never really love anyone else. A few do but the majority of them DONT. But i WILL be there in 07'. . . . . hopfully they will give more attention to everyone this summer. But all in all the camp has great people and activities so thats really all that matters . . . . . . . wright ????

The best camp you can go to...it has amazing people that go there and you will find that your best memories were shared here and plus it is great camp to experience and this year is going to be my fifth year and i cannot wait!!Jets 07 baby

Wah nee has a spirit and energy that cannot be described. It has left me with a memory so vivid that I will never forget it. It's an oasis of everything that is good about people and this world. Wah nee is the greatest

it's awesome the best camp ever... it's my fourth year and i will go back forever yeah jets 07

thurthfully, this camp sucks. all the girls care about is what they look like for the guys, and all the guys are cocky. they spend every night at canteen hookingup, and if you want a camp with hookingup atleast go to a pretty one ..this place is gross!

I absolutely LOVE camp WAH-NEE! I have been going there for 5 years and this will be my 6th. I love everything about it and you cannot truly explain it unless you experience it!

This place is not what iw was......it's just a business now!!! Little attention to people

This is the best camp in the world. It is my life and im never not goin bac. Anyone who doesnt lkike it needs to be cheched out by a doctor. 10 4 2

Camp Wahnee is the best camp anyone will ever go to in their whole life!!!!!!

The heart and soul of Camp Wah-Nee was ripped out this summer when Mark and Meryl Transport were not part of the camp this past summer. Their contribution to the daily spirit and well being of the campers was greatly missed. Mark Transport grew up at Camp Wah-Nee and truly understands what the camp embodies. My daughters truly miss them!!!!!!

we miss Mark and Meryl.....they were incredibly approachable. Our loss is Taconic's gain

The camp is a very spirited sports facility. Staff is generally great, facility ok but the owners are impossible to deal with. They believe that their you know what doesn't stink and they can be quite nasty to many parents. good luck dealing with them

camp wah-nee is seriously the greatest place on earth and you make the greatest friends there.....i love wah-nee!!!

A very haimish, "old fashioned" camp. Lots of spirited and happy campers, who are mostly from Long Island where the owners live. Nice, down-to-earth kids, staff and owners. Unfortunately, the owners took down the only indoor recreational space which was falling apart 3 yrs ago. They promised all that a new, improved gym would be built for Summer 2005 but that didn't happen. AGAIN this year 3 days before camp was to begin we received a letter saying that the gym was not built because of construction delays with the foundation and too much rain. The tone of all written communications to parents is very, very bossy and legalish and not very warm or friendly. You never get the sense that the owners appreciate the parents who give them the business and trust them with their children. I find that to be very disappointing...though MY KIDS ARE SO HAPPY AND CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK EVERY SUMMER.

i went to this camp for several years and made awesome friends and amazing memories..i had some of the best summers of my life here...wahnee always 1042!!!!

I love this place. I have been going since I was a camper and this year I will be a counsoler
