My kids have gone to GV for several years. It has all the activities available elsewhere, but in addition there is a working farm (most of the camp's food is produced right there) and really top-notch staff. The location is beautiful, and the whole ambience is transcendent. I love that my kids have this place in their memory banks.
Has been and always will be the best camp ever. I recommend this to everyone with children who love the outdoors. International staff only adds to the fun!
As a parent looking for a great camp for our daughter, I could not be happier with Gwynn Valley. Terrific staff with a high percentage of returning counselors every year (around 70%) and a long heritage and tradition. Its everything you want in a camp emphasizing character and relationships. I'm not as enamored with skill focused camps as with those, such as this one, that provide an environment in which the whole child grows and matures. Excellent value. I worked at summer camps for 12 years as a counselor and administrator and this one has the qualities of the best you'll find anywhere.
