 10/8/12   5     4     5     5     5   I will explain all ratings with the characters made available to me. Aside from the campers and tradition, the Staff is what makes this camp what it is today. This summer alone(2012) 72of the total 74 Baco counselors (ages 18-24, some older) were at one point campers. All 72grasp the true belief that BACOPRIDE goes beyond being a life lesson, lifestyle, or supporting beams, it is the overall meaning behind what it means to be a kid and successfully grow to be an adult. The goal is to pass this tradition down to those who will utilize it in the same way. The Facilities are those of a "camp"not"resort". They have bunks, not bungalows, a lake, not pools, camp food, not gourmet, and all elements come together perfectly to make it what it is. I was a camper for 6 years and counselor for 2. The things I learned here were never misleading, and will never be forgotten. I hope my own kids will have the same privilege I was given. If you want to talk about it call Greg Silver, The Camp Director RID: 42822

Click to report rating    9/29/11   5     5     5     5     5   There are truly no words to describe the greatest place on earth. There are no words to explain this feeling with no name Baco Pride run our veins and is always in our hearts. RID: 36992
Click to report rating    4/28/11   5     5     5     5     5   Baco is not a life, it's a lifestyle. If you've been there you know it's the best place on Earth. If you haven't been in the beautiful town of Minerva, then you should definitely plan a trip. Baco Pride For Life RID: 35777

Click to report rating    10/30/08   5     5     5     5     5   Camp Baco has shaped my life in more ways than I could have ever imagined when I went for my first of 10 summers. "Baco isn't just a place, it's a feeling" RID: 27228
Click to report rating    9/28/08   5     5     5     5     5   Baco is my only true home. When I'm not there, I dream about running down from the dome into council ring after we won elevens hoops in 2008. Baco changed my life. BACO PRIDE-WAITERS OF 2013 RID: 26780
Click to report rating    7/7/08   4     4     5     4     5   If you're looking for a camp 'experience' and not fancy facilities...this is the place. I have never seen a camp on such a gorgeous lake in such beautiful surroundings. The boys bond in a unique way and traditions are passed down from generation to generation. My 3 older brothers went (I was at Che-na-wah, the sister camp) and now my 3 boys go. They love it and look forward to it all year long. Most of the counselors were campers and many campers and counselors have parents who went to camp too. It's a place filled with love and tradition! RID: 24627
Click to report rating    3/14/08   5     5     5     5     5   This camp is the coolest camp in the world. We go to the sister camp, che-na-wah and we love it there. This camp is also AMAZING BACO PRIDE---PEACEEEEE RID: 21275
Click to report rating    2/24/08   3     4     4     5     4   Beautiful camp with the lake and the setting. They seem to know how to run it well. The counselors are pretty good but could be better. Everyone has "baco pride" which shows pride for sports and how much they think that its the best place on earth. The only complaint I have is that the camp director loses his temper way too easily and yells at everything. RID: 20655
