Our kids love Wooden Acres Camp- WAC. They have been calling it their summer home for five years now! My wife and I have only positive things to say about Harvey, his staff and the experiences our kids have had there. And a great summer break for us!

My children and our family LOVE Wooden Acres. The children are well taken care of and our teen worked as staff last year and she loved it They are all excited to go back again. There are more than enough structured activities, supervision and care. We love WAC!

I feel that the focus of this camp is on its own reputation and from my experience I feel that the attitude of the director is "that what the parents (and officials) don’t know can't hurt them". The location of the camp makes the safety of the children an issue as really anyone can get in. Also, the safety of the children is also compromised in the camp's programming. For many activities there was inadequate supervision, especially a lack of qualified lifeguards in aquatic activities. I feel that by placing too much emphasis on ensuring the kids want to return the next summer, the “character building experiences” that overnight camps are generally known for was compromised.

Great camp so much fun for the kids. The owner, Harvey, wants to overcharge his long time families. He should give them deals. This past year was nothing new for the 4th year in a row same story. If you paid for the early bird special you paid more than the others at the camp. So unfair.

In relation to the campers, the staff (including administration) is spectacular. The camp director is a cruel to the staff behind closed doors. It's not the best place to work unless you have friends and can handle Harvey Finkleberg. As a camper (having been both staff and camper), it was the best camp experience of my life (and i've been to five different camps). They have many activities, lots of free time, good food (better than average camp food at least...), and the atmosphere is positive.

this camp is truly the most amazing place ever. i sadly have not been able to come for the last couple years due to money issues with my family. but i am returning this year and i'm so excited. they have great activities here. and i know from personal experience, when you are having trouble the consolers will help you. i've been dying to go back to this wonderful place. i'm friends with a lot of the people from W.A.C. and almost the whole time they aren't at camp, they're talking about how bad they want to go back. there has also been a new indoor waterpark built in and i'm very excited to see this. they also have traveling trips for the older kids. i think this is a great experience for any kid and you should definitely come and meet us a W.A.C. :)

WAC is a terrible place to send your child. The camp director is a fraud who treats his staff that are not his family members like dogs. He even tried to take money away from some of the international staff as he took off taxes and was going to pocket it. For the ammount of money the camp is I would spend my money at a worth while reputable camp and not wooden acres. The director is two faced and is in it only for the money. The international staff is great some of the facilities are nice such as the water park. The food is terrible and the majority of the supervisors are blood related to the director so don't exspect superior programming Do NOT SEND YOUR KIDS TO WAC!!

The camp is the very best at meeting the needs of every child who attends . Nothing is ;eft to chance. The attention to detail from the Director to the counselors is superior to any other camp my family has been involved with. Tremendous facilities and very safe .Nurturing caring and helping to build self-esteem is the primary goal . My family has been going to Wooden Acres since the beginning and could not be any happier with the experience. If you want your child to have the very best in camping you must chose Wooden Acres.

Wonderful camp experience for my 9 year old son last summer. We picked him up and his first words were "I want to come back next year!". They provide the children with a wide variety of choices, and yet challenge them to try new things. My son learned to waterski! The counselors are senative and seem to pay attention to each child's needs. Overall we have had great intereactions with the camp director and other staff. They really seem to have each child's best interest at heart. Highly recommend this camp. My son is going back for three weeks this summer. He cant wait!

this camp is absolutesly amazing. i had the most amazing time the past two years, and this time i'm going for the full six weeks. the staff is really awesome and gets into stuff. they turn into your best friends. the director is nice to the campers, and the whole camp is really just relaxed. i highly reccomend this camp, as one with experience there.
