Camp Wicosuta reviews

Some girls might be competetive but its just their personality.And you do get helped if you're homesick.The food is okay ,but the staff are great.

i love this camp so much and CANNOT wait for this summer. i don't know where i would be without the friendships i have made at wico, my camp friends are truly my best friends in the entire world. although it is expensive, so most people are wealthy, everyone is sweet and so fun to be with! camp has taught me not to judge because some of these girls may look like they'd be rude and rich but i don't know a single person like that. and the counselors value their jobs and want to be there just as much as the campers do. summer camp is an experience that everyone deserves to have and i cannot think of a better place for it. i don't have a single complaint about this place because i'm always just so happy there. i hate the stereotype our camp gets because of it's price, i don't think we deserve it, and no one cares about money at camp anyway! everyone is happy to be there and if i had the choice, i would never leave. i talk to my camp friends almost every day and love this place so much!

I have worked at Camp Wicosuta for 2 summers and I cannot imagine my summer any other way. The people you meet at camp become life long friends. I cannot wait to be back on New Found Lake this summer. Not only do I look forward to seeing all my councilor friends but I look forward to seeing all my campers again. I love to watch them excel and learn new skills while they are at camp. Wicosuta takes initiative to recognize campers as they move up levels in all activity areas. Camp Wicosuta is a very caring environment and there is a place for everyone. Summer camp is an unforgettable experience and I feel that Wicosuta really does instill the three C's in its campers, Confidence, Competence, and Community.

Although rather expensive, this camp stays true to the values it was founded upon. Directors have switched a couple times since my last summer ('05) and there were some changes that we weren't happy about at the time- mostly stricter rules to avoid lawsuits and make sure that our parents' money wasn't being wasted. At Wico, I found sisters and some of my best friends in the world who I still keep in contact with and see often. Going to this camp taught me great lessons in leadership, sisterhood, friendship, sharing, responsibility doing my best at new activities and so much more. I wouldn't trade my years at Wico for anything. Spend your summers there. And, I'm a vegetarian and have been since before my first summer- the food isn't that bad, I could find plenty I liked. Plus- the staff is amazing.

i love wico and have been going for three years! this will be my last summer and it makes me so sad to think that after 09 my friends and i will never be together again at wico. i will admit that being a vegetarian was tough b/c the food was not so good, and while i LOVE wico the girls there can be jappy and materialistic, however they are really nice once u get to know them. if i have daughters i will def. send them here from oski year so they can have an amazing experience like me! Yeah 09, i cant wait 4 summer!

I love it. Best camp ever!!! It will be my 4th summer! I love the counslors. The kids are great too!

I went to wico since I was ten and stayed till by totem year in 2006. Those summers where the best summers of my life and I wouldn't change anything. Everyones friendly, the staff is amazing, and the cabins are nice. Till this day I've kept in contact with all of my friends that I made at camp and visit them often. I would recomend this camp and you will not be disappointed if you go!

I think Wicosuta is an absolutely wonderful camp. This summer was my 9 yr old daughter's first sleep away experience and I couldn't have asked for a better experience for her. The counselors were warm and very attentive. All the girls in her bunk became very close and everyone was included in everything. She came back happy and confident. All the facilities are amazing and very well kept from the tennis courts to heated pool to playing fields. Her bunk was also spacious and very well kept. My daughter loved all the activities especially the evening activities like the talent show. The directors are great! Very caring, down to earth and warm. I highly recommend this camp to anyone searching for a overnight girls camp!!! She already is counting down to next summer!

We just picked up our daughter on Sunday (08/17/08). She had a terrific time. Julia had praises for everyone. This was her first sleep-away camp experience. The counselors and the rest of the entire staff created a safe and fun environment for her and her new friends! We were among the first parents to arrive for pick-up yesterday and we're among the last ones to drive away. Our daughter did not want to leave. She kept on relating stories, showing us around the camp, and introducing us to her bunk-mates/new friends. She has already decided to go back next year for twice as long. We cannot say enough good things about Wico. The staff was very helpful; from the very first day that we contacted them for questions about the camp, during the camp (we loved the updates and pictures), and on the last camp day. We strongly recommend it!!

My daughter just came home from an amazing summer at Wico! She was a new camper and she felt comfortable from day one. Corey and Justin made the entire experience wonderful. You should not think twice about sending your daughter to Wico. It will be an opportunity never to be forgotten.

Camp Wicosuta has really given my daughter the chance to find her true self. Over her summers at wicosuta, she has grown to accept herself and has fell in love with the girls that she has met. With the all girls environment that wicosuta has, it really gives the girls a chance to be who they really are and not try to impress boys. Overall, my daughter always comes home a happy camper and loves wicosuta

Camp Wicosuta is and AWESOME camp. I admit that the food isn't too good, but what do you expect it's not a hotel it's camp! The activities are all very well planned, and I always have fun. The counselors are great, the always care for you and are practically like your parents. I don't know why people say that the girls are snooty because they are definetly not. The only thing that I think needs to be improved is the amount of bunk bonding. I think that needs to be improved.

My experience with wico is that most of the girls there are very stuck up. I do not attend wico, but I have gone there, and all of the girls were very unfriendly and way too competitive with everything. I almost barfed when i ate lunch there, because they had all these hairs and tiny nats in their hamburgers! When they won an event, they were very rude about it, and screamed "we won! we won! we're the best!" at all of the other camps there. But when they lost an event they pouted around and sulked and cried. DO NOT GO TO WICO! DONT WASTE YOUR SUMMER HERE!!

this camp is amazing! i went for 5 years and they were the best summers of my life. i hate that i can't go anymore =[. the traditions are held strong and the girls i met there are amazing. we still keep in touch! wico becomes a second home. of course the food isn't going to be amazing...it's a summer camp get over it. the great experience makes you forget about it. and there are going to be people you don't get a long with...but if you aren't a social person of course you're not going to make very many friends. the activities are great. and i remember when i was homesick my first year, the counselors were so comforting. of course they can't be with you 24/7, they have other campers but they do their best. the only problem is the new directors. they aren't as into tradition as they are into business. WICO IS THE BEST!

Wico is truly amazing. I must admit my first year was the best, i was young and the camp treats younger campers very well and try and keep all campers happy. I have two more summers and i might not get the same attention from camp staff anymore, but i love going back to see the friends i have made very close bonds with. Foods not amazing, but the friendships you make make up for everything!! its so sad to think people are so negative about the place that i consider my second home.

EWW!!! the girls were sooo mean to me there, they were too competitive even about stupid things that were nto sports. Their food was really bad and everyone in my opinion was sooo conceited about EVERYTHING. It is not worth your money, trust me.

This is going to be my 3rd summer at Wico. It is simply the best. Wico has so many traditions and awesome activities. I am counting the seconds until I am back at Wico. You should all come to this camp. It is just SO awesome!

I love Wico! The food was a bit nasty tasting, but camp's not about what kind of food you eat, its about the experience! I've already signed up for my second summer there and i can't wait!

and the winner for the best girls camp ever is... WICOSUTA! This will be my 6th summer at Wico and I can't think of a place I love more! I am totally sad that i only have 2 more summers. My counselors have always been great, and one of my counselors from my first year is still coming back. Although the food isn't fabulous, this is camp. 144 days 'til second session!

i hate this camp none of the girls were nice to me. the staff were okay i guess. i had a horrible time there i was crying my self to bed. u dont want to send your kids there you will have an awful time.

Great camp! You get what you pay for. We looked at many for our girls and they chose Wico. Facility is lovely-too bad the waterfront is not closer. Easy access to directors and enthusiastic counselors.

Horrrriiiiibbbbllleeee I hated it the girls were mean and talked about polliticts a baseball it was the worst i went to camp HARLEM it is soooo much better and alot more fun!!!! :)

this summer will be my 6th summer at wicosuta. although camp has been through a lot of changes, i still love to call camp my second home. Corey and Justin are great people and were always there to help when i need it. The girls are absolutely amazing. Also the camp facilities are gorgeous

i love wico so much. i countdown the days until i go back starting the day i get home. the friends that i have made are the best ones that i will ever have and i will always love them. many of my friends are switching sessions and i am sad about that, but i will see them during the winter. i love my counselors. many people say that all the girls care about is clothing and material stuff, but that is not true. wicosuta is one of the most down-to-earth camps ever. i love the new directors, they make wico a true home. another thing that i love about wicosuta is the traditions. they are all so strong, and have so much meaning. campfires, cheers, color-war, and each activity are exciting, and bring the whole camp together. i love wico so much. "from it are these three rays"

I have been at this camp for 2 years and all I can say is that I made lasting friendships. My counslers were so nice and they were always there for me if I missed my family. This camp is amazing and I really love it so much I can't wait to go to camp next summer and make even more friends! I reccomend this camp to any girl who likes to make new friends and loves water activitie. I've had the best summers of my life and they were so kind If I was homesick I actully call that camp my second home because you get so used to it and feel like the people their are your siblilngs! I think that this camp is amazing and the counslers there are not only like my older sisters but I feel like they are funny,kind,amazinf,sporty,smart,exciting and they are always there for you if you need to talk them! Girls all ages from 7-15 are able to be there and every age group love it! So If you want to go to a camp that is fun and make friends that will last a life time then i reccomand camp Wicosuta!!!!!

I attended camp wicosuta for 6 summers and it was the most amazing experience of my life. Granted, my last summer was in 2004 so im sure a lot has changed since then. Still, i would tell anyone who's daughter is looking at camps to seriously consider wico. I made some of the most amazing friends at camp and am still very close to them. The counselours are amazing and very comforting and the staff is always there to help. As far as kate and cole kelly, im not sure they are there anymore but if they are, they were not such fabulous directers. Mike and Lauren Bogart really knew how to run the camp and make a wonderful experience out of 8 weeks. All the girls are nice and activities are tons of fun. i never found myself bored or homesick and whenever i did, i could count on my friends and my counselour to help me out. Please please consider wicosuta, it is an amazing place to be and a wonderful atmosphere in which to create childhood memories

How sad before the new owners this was an outstanding camp with decent enough food (hey kids back then ate what we were served) but the kids were nice and the counselors were nice and there was a lot of camp spirit and the owners knew all the campers. It's sad to see the bad reviews and i believe them because i've seen the camp reviews for other camps I know well and I see the negative comments all have validity even if they are a bit strong so I'm sure there is truth in them. I wanted to send my daughter here but I can't, it's not the same camp anymore.

Best camp in the world! I have gone to Wico for 5 years and have made the best of friends. I wish I could go back for 5 more years! I hated the food, but loved the activities and the girls that I met.

omg!!! I love this camp!! This was my second summer here and probably the most amazing summer of my life!!!! i really dont understand why anyone would want to write a bad review about this place. It has all the activities you could ever wish for. Whatever you like to do, Wicosuta has it! For example, waterskiing, zip line, all the landsports you can name, arts, extreme stuff... Also a nice thing about wico is, is that it has a rustic campy feeling but also has electricity and bathrooms in the cabins. If you're looking at wico as a camp for you or your daughter, i would seriously condsider it. You make sooooooo many great everlasting friendships and memories and you're gonna want to come back year after year! GO BUNK 12R '07!!! (kineo 4)!!!!

I went to wico for 3 summers and it was okay. My first summer was my best after that it was only okay. It was not the staff as much as the campers.The only bad experence with the staff here was when I had to go to a swim meet on packing day. I asked my counslers if they would help me and they said okay. So when I got back we had to go to banquet and we needed white shirts so I looked and my counslers who knew about the white shirt thing didn't leave me one so my friend (who also had no white shirt) and I had to go to the lost and found (which is very old) and pick out t-shirts from there and it was so gross! And most of my friends left after only 2 or 3 summers at Wico.

My daughter had a terrible experiecne last summer at WICO. The counselors were mean and the directors cared more about their own lives than the kids at the camp. I would not send my child to this camp.

this camp is the most amazing place ever. it rocks my socks oh no i dont have anymore socks. i wish that i was not too old to go back. i made some amazing friends, the girls were all so welcoming and the counselors were fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!! the food was awesomeeeeeeee dude.

OMG Camp Wico is the BEST camp in the world! Everything about it is AMAZING! This will be my second summer at Wico and i count the days until i get to come back! I have made lifetime friends and have met some of the nicest people you can ever meet. I do not understand why you wouldn't send your daughter to Wico. The bunks are clean, the people and directors are nice, And i mean sure, The food isn't the best but you can't expect a 4 star meal in the wilderness!!! The bad reviews are just people being jelous b/c there camp wasn't as good as Wico. And if you hate wico than go get help!!Coo's of 06 i love you guys!!! ~ alexa

i love this camp. it will be my third year this summer and i cannot wait. i go second session so i get to be there during color war which is the best. my first/full session friends love both and they say challenge cup is fun too. i will stay friends with my wico gals for ever. i still am in touch with girls who have "graduated through" they want to come back and keep reliving their amazing experience. i would never trade my summers at wico for anything. i love the counslers they are some of the nicest people that you will ever meet. yeah sure some aren't so nice but hey, thats only human. the new bunks are so cool and i can't wait to see the new dinning hall. i love how there is so much spirit. everyone is singing and dancing and cheering at meal times and it's so much fun. the drama program is so amazing and i have learned so much from it. it's so great that the activities are with different age groups, so i became friends with everyone. the big/little sister program is so great and m

wico is so amazing! i met my bffssss there! tashmoo apollo and mohawk gladiators are beast! can't wait for summer '07 T10 is liffeeee

ewww i barf just thinking about the terrible food after i wasted my summer at this horrible camp i went to a different camp and it was much better

OMG who could say wico is a bad camp? I love Camp Wicosuta. Best camp ever!!!!!!!!! I can not wait till this summer.

Omg!!! I LOVE this camp!!! Best summer of my life!!!!! Don't listen to the mean comments: the food is great, there are lots of options, the counselors, and all the girls made me feel right at home. I made so many everlasting friendships. I MISS U GUYS SO MUCH XOXO. You can choose your schedule. It was the best summer ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't explain my AMAZING TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i go here and i love itt!!! if i hadnt gone here i wouldnt have met the most amazing girls ever!!! oh yea bunk 12Left!!! xoxo i luv you guyss

DONT GO HERE! all the girls cared about was brand name clothes and they were so mean to me. the counslors did not care that i was having problems in the bunk and i cried myself to sleep every night. nobody was nice. i did not make one friend during my time there.

omg i met my best friend at camp wico! so i love this camp because if it wasnt for it i would have never met fox.!!!!

I WENT TO CAMP WICO FOR ONE SUMMER, AND IT WAS THE WORST SUMMER EVER!!!! THE FOOD WAS GROSS, THE COUNSLERS WERE MEAN, AND THE DAYS WERE SO BORING!!!I STILL THROW UP EVERYTIME I THINK ABOUT THE HAMBURGERS I GOT, AND ALL THE HAIRS IN THEM!!!!!!! IT WAS THE WORST SUMMER EVER AND I REGRET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a wonderful way for girls to spend the summer. Cole and Kelly have done an amazing job of making ALL girls feel welcome here. It is a safe place to grow and learn in a caring and open enviroment. I would highly reccomend this camp to anyone who is looking for a girls camp that instills values and traditions while encouraging them to grow and acheive.
