Camp Fern is a great place! My sister and I along with my aunts, uncles, and cousins have attended Camp Fern for several years. The staff are amazing and the grounds are beautiful. I highly recommend it to all!!!!
I have gone to Camp Fern for 4 years and this summer will return for my 5th. My mother has been nurse and that's how I was introduced. I love it! It is my favorite time of the year and I have made lasting friendships there. I learn a lot every time I go and cry closing day. I can't ever wait to return and can say only the best about Fern. The activities are diverse and fun, the staff is caring, mature, and fun, the grounds are lovely, the cabins are very nice, and I love all the animals. Camp Fern has helped make me into the mature, kind, Christian person that I am today. If you or your child is worried about the session lengths, I assure you, once you're there, the time just flies by and you don't ever want to leave. Camp Fern is my home away from home and Margaret and the rest are like extended family. All of the activites are great, especially the tribal ones. Tribes help foster friendly competition and are an integral part of the Camp Fern experience. I love Camp Fern!
Camp Fern is a fantastic summer camp. I myself went as well as my sister, brother, and mom. We all loved spending our summers there. Margret is a wonderful woman, and her staff makes every kid feel loved. I would reccomend this camp to everyone. my years at camp will always be my most memerable and loved.
I have attended Fern for 9 years, 6 as a camper and 3 as a counselor, and loved every minute of it. This camp will teach kids things they can learn no where else in the world. I strongly recommend this camp.
Camp Fern is a fabulous camp for girls or boys. My daughter went for over 20 years, bewing a counsellor, instructor, camper...she did it all. The senic beauty of the camp is awesome. Pines that reach to the sky on an idyllic quiet lake in East Texas. The little log cabins are just what camp should be.The activities for the kids have always been fun and they change every year, according to their age. The camp centers around 2 Tribes that the kids are in and they amass points to compete in a friendly fashion with each other. On the last day they have the big war canoe race & it is so fun. This camp is worth every dime. Try it!
Camp Fern is a 3rd generation family owned and operated camp. Many of the campers are also 2nd and 3rd generation. It encourages independence, self worth and the love of Jesus. Its motto is "God First, Others Second, I am third." It has been years since I attended CF and I have not yet sent children to camp -- so my ratings on staff, personal attention and monetary value are dated. However, I have visited the camp in the past few years and the facilities & offered activities are still great.
This camp was founded in the 30s and has retained its moral and spiritual character since its founding. It is nestled in the beautiful east Texas woodlands on beautiful Fern Lake. Tribal competition and bunk life help teach Fern campers the value of sportsmanship and living together. It is an awesomely beautiful, life-altering place.
