My son is on summer #7. He has a hard time fitting in at school because he doesn't fit into a cookie cutter suburban sports mold. He is an only child who found his "brothers" at camp. They are the only people he feels he can truly be himself. He totally lives "ten for two" even though thanks to parts of the country going back to school in Aug, it can't even be "two" anymore. It's a uniform camp so there are no "have/have nots". No one is walking around in labels or carrying a Louis. They all clean their bunks. They protest a little but they actually love not having cell phones, being online or having/dealing with social media. He has strong relationships with his fellow campers & his counselors. The best way to describe his experience is like a fraternity/sorority. The traditions, legacies, philosophies there are extremely important to him/his bunkmates. He works on the color war alma during the school year. I don't know where we'd be without this lifeline. He calls Wekeela "home".

I HAD A HORRIBLE SUMMER THERE. ONLY A FEW OF THE COUNSELORS WERE NICE AND THE ONE I HAD FOR TWO YEARS IN A ROW HATED EVERYONE TO BITS BUT ACTED INCOCENT AROUND OTHER COUNSELORS. I AM BEING FORCED TO GO BACK FOR THE 4TH YEAR WHEN I NEVER WANTED TO GO IN THE FIRST PLACE. AT LEAST ONE OF THE COUNSELORS HAD MY BACK BUT OVERALL IT WAS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AND THE SAME SNOBBY PEOPLE SHOW UP EVERY YEAR. YOU DONT EVEN GET TO CHOOSE YOUR OWN ACTIVITIES. I DONT RECOMEND UNLESS YOU WANT TO HAVE A BAD SUMMER WITH EVERYONE MISTREATING YOU.

Agree with previous reviewer - my son had an awful experience at this camp. I was appalled at the overall lack of professionalism and, frankly, gross negligence that led to a serious injury going completely undetected and unattended during my son's stay.

Absolutely awful experience. No sense of community at all it’s just a big group of bullies, especially the counselors and the head of camp.

My two children both attended Wekeela for many years, and then returned to camp as staff. Every part of their experiences at Wekeela were amazing. They both have made life long friends through their time at camp and I am certain that their time at Wekeela has contributed to making them the happy, healthy, capable young adults they are today. I have huge gratitude for all that Wekeela has given to both of them and our family!

AMAZING CAMP! My son has had an incredible time at Wekeela. He feels like it is his home away from home. The staff could not be nicer - and the activities and facilities are fantastic. Highly recommend this camp!

My child was a first time camper last summer, and it was a wonderful experience. She had the time of her life and came home a more independent, social, confident and adventurous child. She made wonderful friendships and tried many new things-even foods (which she said was more delicious at camp than at home.) She can't wait to be back at Camp Wekeela this summer. The counselors are awesome, and many are returning campers. The camp directors have been wonderful and communicative, and I really can't say enough good things. I'm so glad we found Camp Wekeela.

We love Camp Wekeela. Everything about it is first class. The owners put 100% of their time and love into making the Wekeela experience the best for their campers. They carefully select staff who are completely focused on the campers, maintain beautiful facilities without making them too fancy, and offer a wide variety of fun and safe activities. They understand their campers and help them have fun and develop weak areas. We just love Wekeela and plan to keep sending our daughter back summer after summer. Thank you, Wekeela!

EXCELLENT CAMP! Our daughter went to Wekeela as a new camper at 15 amidst an entire cabin of girls who'd been going for years (which speaks volumes about the camp!)From the outset, she was warmly embraced and made to feel right at home, not like she was an outsider invading "their" turf. That's an indicative reflection of the camp philosophy & its inclusive nature. I can't say enough good things about this camp & the many positive ways it impacted our daughter's life. Along with the lasting bonds she created with her fellow campers, she was also positively influenced by the mature & responsible counselors with whom she has great respect & continues to reach out to for advice. Wekeela is like a fine tuned machine. They are VERY thorough in vetting the people who will be influencing your child and take that responsibility ver seriously. The food is fantastic with even gluten free options. There are SO many varied, fun, engaging activities. It's a PRICELESS life enhancing experience!

We are SO excited to have found Camp Wekeela! Our 13 year-old son will be going back for his 3rd summer this year. His 1st year at Wekeela he was homesick for the first couple of days because he’d never been away from home, but the counselors were so incredibly supportive and welcoming and worked so hard to make him feel included that he was having fun before he knew it. He ended up having such a great time that he cried his first night home because he was "camp sick"! He's made great friends at Wekeela who he keeps in touch with throughout the year and who he looks forward to seeing each summer along with the counselors who are extraordinary role models. The counselors and staff are so genuine and kind... We can rest easy knowing he’s in good hands when we leave him at Camp Wekeela. Every time we pick him up he’s more self-assured and confident than when we dropped him off. We know it's because of the positive growth experiences he’s having there. What more could a parent ask for?

BEST SUMMER CAMP!!! Camp Wekeela has become my sons second home. It became that after his first summer. He is going on his 5th summer. My son is a vey cool, grounded and well rounded 13 year old that is kind and friendly. He loves his own home. With all of this being said, that Camp Wekeela is his favorite place to be and would actually prefer his own home for 7 weeks and camp year round, says a lot about this most amazing camp. The staff and the food are on his top 5 list. From campfires to sports, and really just enough of everything else you can think of there's not a second that is not filled with thought for our kid. Camp Wekeela is the best gift we ever gave him and we are eternally grateful to have this wonderful summer home for our son.

This was our son’s fifth summer at Camp Wekeela! He loves and has really grown up at Camp. As an only child, his counselors are like the big brothers he never had at home. We saw a sign on the cabin door: “You are all brothers, go out and protect and support each other like family”. Those words were incredibly comforting to us; and we’ve seen the boys live this lesson. He said of his counselors-they are: funny, intelligent, role models, wise, gentlemen, father-figures. They're funny, relatable, lead by example. They are humble and kind, teach us how to be gentlemen, to appreciate the little things in life- like waking up for sunrise on a hike.”
When he first went to Camp, he was a little boy. With summers at Wekeela he's growing up, learning responsibility, motivation, sportsmanship, compassion, and enjoying the simple pleasure of just being a kid in woods,looking at the stars at night. Camp motivates him throughout the year; it is "his happy place."

My two daughters (11 and 9) went to Camp Wekeela for the first time this summer. This was their first overnight camp experience. They went for the rookie session and, when I arrived to pick them up, they informed me that next summer they wanted to come for "all 7 weeks!" The camp is beautiful and all of the counselors were so sweet. I loved looking at the pictures posted on the website. The kids always looked like they were having a blast! They said the food was great and they became so independent. The camp directors are amazing people and they do such a wonderful job with the camp community. We are diehard Camp Wekeela fans!

Our son (12 years old) went to Wekeela for the first time this summer. He had an amazing summer, which is what we had hoped when we dropped him off for his first summer away from home. But what we hadn’t expected is how much he would grow in a few short weeks. The credit for that goes to the camp directors and the team of counselors. We were worried about our son being homesick during his first extended stay away from home. Rather than that, what we are seeing is that he is more “campsick” now that he is back home. He is already looking forward to next summer.
While all the counselors we met were great, we were particularly impressed by those assigned to his cabin. During Visiting Day, the boys in the cabin talked about the best parts of the summer. Of particular note, they talked about how close they had become as a group. Wekeela is a great camp with an extraordinary group of counselors.

When we arrived at camp on visiting day my husband and I could not have been more impressed by the genuine warmth and level of caring between the counselors and both our children. What was most striking to us was how counselors from different groups (not just their bunk counselors) knew our kids and greeted them and it really felt like a big family. Teddy and Lyla were beaming with excitement as they proudly showed us their camp and we had such am amazing day with them. Both kids have been relaying camp stories to us, family members and their friends since they left and are absolutely going back next summer. SB (Needham MA)

We knew our 10 year old daughter was having a great time at camp. After visiting day, we knew why. The counselors we met were amazing! One is more energetic, enthusiastic, supportive, and committed than the next. I was blown away by how outstanding they were. I could see how much they cared for our daughter, and how much she adored them. And the reason they are so wonderful is that the owners, Lori and Ephram, are fabulous. They pour their heart into camp and making it the special place that it is. Thank you, Wekeela, for being her home away from home!

What can I say other than incredible! What started out 3 years ago as a camp experience that was a one my sister in law won and gave to Tim has turned out to be one of the most positive and beneficial experiences of Tim's life for 3 summers running. He matures each summer more than the entire rest of the year. He learns how to try new things, get along with others, the art of personal communication not aided by electronic devices and an appreciation for other cultures through his amazing counselors. He gets mentoring from caring and dedicated staff that inspire him in ways we never can as parents. We view camp as a lifelong gift we have given Tim that has immeasurable benefits.
Many thanks to you, your family and all the dedicated staff that give so much of themselves to enrich the lives of these campers.
All the best to you and the Wekeela staff.

I want to give a shout-out to the teen camp staff. While my campers have always had fantastic counselors who have enriched their Wekeela summers beyond words, there is an extra element to the teen camp influence. The older children watch and learn from their counselors in a deeper way -- they are not just fun-providers for the summer, they are also role models for all aspects of life. I could not be more pleased with the influence of the fine young Wekeela men and women on my own teenagers. They are hard-working, responsible, respectful, kind, compassionate, considerate and fair. They are living examples for the teens that it is possible to have a real, serious and responsible job while still being fun-loving, well-liked and goofy. These lessons are not well-received when delivered by us, the old , "out of touch," fuddy-duddy parents. All of your counselors, but especially the ones in teen camp, are leading the next generation by example. Thanks for your high hiring standards.

My kids both had an amazing experience at Camp Wekeela this past summer. They are constantly talking about camp and all the things they can't wait to do at camp next year! My son keeps telling me camp is all about trying new things and that he tried so many new things at camp including new foods. I couldn't be more thrilled that the kids love Wekeela as much as I did when I was a kid. It is such a special place and I am so glad that they get to experience it. I can say without a doubt that not only has Wekeela maintained its beauty, but the quality of its activities and staff as well. Wekeela truly has a fantastic staff. We spent a lot of time talking to our kids counselors and other staff and we were so very impressed with everyone. They were all so wonderful and so dedicated to the camp and the kids. Their attitude and love for the kids and the bond they form with them is truly what makes the experience so special for the kids.

My 3 kids have spent a total of 20 Summers at Wekeela as campers and counselors. I have found the camp to completely be the home away from home that I was looking for. My kids are all 3 very different, yet each of them found a place where they could be themselves, explore and grow. The camp excels at creating community and providing a fun, safe environment. The staff is excellent, and each of my kids forged relationships with young adults that formed a bridge between friend and mentor. This year in particular, my son is faced with a difficult transition at the end of the Summer (we are moving internationally), and his counselors have been extremely supportive and have helped him tremendously dealing with this daunting change. I cannot say enough good things about how Wekeela has positively impacted our family.

One of my kids, who asked me what I was typing just a minute ago, said, " That camp is awesome!". I could leave the review at that, but wanted to say why my husband and I think Camp Wekeela is awesome too. We had met with directors from several camps and really asked them a lot of questions. We checked references from families and asked parents and campers in our community about the camps we had been considering. On top of great recommendations, meeting Ephram sealed the deal for us. He runs a fantastic program, in a beautiful setting, and has common sense values. Lori and Ephram are great parents (you'll know this if you've met their children), and they have dedicated so much of their time to the camp and all involved. Year after year we have been getting to know the same talented staffers, campers, and families. Our kids went to Camp Wekeela knowing not a single camper. It's a testament to the camp that they have such strong connections to the campers and staff.

Weekela is about family. Both the camp family created over the summer and the families that send their children to this camp. It greatly disappoints me to hear any negative reviews of Wekeela because of all the wonderful things this camp has done for my life. A day at Wekeela is action-packed; from the exciting scheduled activities, to the unbelivable counselors, and the craziest evening acivities. The dining hall in and of itself is an experience! We live in a world of social media, where kids are forced to ‘keep up with the joneses’ at a very young age. Kids can simply be kids at Wekeela. There is no pressure to dress a certain way or own a certain game, because at the end of the day everyone is wearing the same facepaint. So much thought is put into everything about Wekeela that it is incredible. Wekeela is a year-round experience. Campers and counselors alike, take Wekeela with them when they leave summer behind. Everyone should be just as lucky as I was to experience this place.

This camp is run by idiots! They are only out for money and have no concern for the well being of the children that attend. The director is immature, greedy, idiotic, sporadic, and just mean. He is only concerned that his children have an excellent time at this camp and is not concerned for anyone else's. The children who attend this camp are bullies, cliquey, and snobs. Any outcast is usually never welcomed into the so called "family". This is one of the worst run camps I have ever sent my children to. They do not allow the children to notify thier parent s to let them know if they are having a bad time because the confiscate letters with negative information about the camp. The director picks favorite families, and if you ae not one of those families you and your child's camp experience will be awful, all most childhood ruining. This camp is not worth the price the greedy director set.

My home away from home after 4 years I cant wait to go back. Whenever someone says that they don't like the camp i get upset; mostly because they are not making an effort to enjoy themselves. You get what you put into it. The only way you can have a bad experience is by ruining it for yourself. It is expensive, but the friendships made here are stronger and last longer than anything you can buy with the same amount of money. Instead of blinding believing the negative reviews on here, talk to people that have gone here. Staff and campers, only in person will they say what they really think. If they had a bad experience then it is because they had a bad attitude going in. When I die i hope I can relive time at Camp Wekeela.

From being a camper for years as well as a member of the staff for years I got to see both sides of camp. I have made friends for life all around the world of whom I still talk to and visit. Wekeela pushes you to try something new and get you out of you comfort zone. Staff members are the support system and are there to teach campers as well as learn from them. Its a bonding experience that you cannot get from being in school. I have learned so much about myself that I thought I could never do and am so grateful to be part of this family. I would recommend Camp Wekeela to any family memebr or friend. Its an experience that will change your childs life.

Honestly, why would you check a website like this if you are concerned about sending your child to sleepaway camp. Wekeela changed me for the better, I am a staff member who has returned for 4 consecutive years because of the friendships I have built with all my campers, new and returning. If you are worried about Wekeela, contact the directors to put your mind at ease!

Camp Wekeela is a great place. The people who don't make friends are the ones who don't try because everyone at Wekeela is warm and welcoming. It would be a mistake for people who are thinking about going to not go. The owners have made the camp a much better place. I'll definitely be back.

For the money that my parents paid this camp was horrible!! The only thing that kept me alive at this camp was the horseback riding. The people are rude. I was a new camper and for the first two weeks i was an outcast until i finally made ONE friend. The activities were mostly bad. The food was good. Some staff were nice, but others are plain rude. One made me cry on because i was running. She yelled at me like i had killed someone. The campers are so unwelcoming and the counselors don't help. I wanted to kill myself... Don't go unless you want to ruin your summer.

As a staff member who has been going to wekeela since he was six years old, Wekeela is my life. Not only have I developed into the mature, independent person I am today because of Wekeela, but I have also built relationships that people who haven't gone to camp can't quite understand. The people that I go to camp with are not just my friends, they are family. There is a reason why everyone (and I mean everyone) cries puddles on the last day of camp, they are going to miss their second home. In fact, I just had about 20 camp people from Miami at my house yesterday for a reunion... I don't know many places that can create a bond so great that it continues even a thousand miles away. The staff members always have smiles on their faces, they love the children and Wekeela. The facilities are top notch, every camper feels like home and is busy with fun activities all day, the food is amazing, and camp is the highlight of my year for the past ten years. It is my home away from home.

Wekeela is a really expensive camp. If you are a mean girl at school than you would love this camp. All new campers are outcasts. They are never included. New campers are usually always left out or uncomftorble from others. This camp has amazing staff/counslers, but only one problem... they dont do anything about the cliques. It has amazing sport oportunities, but it is deffinatly NOT worth it. This camp is far from normal.

Camp Wekeela is an amazing camp! It's one of the best in the northeast. If you've read that they're bigots, that's far from the truth. Kids from all over the world spend their summers at Wekeela. The owners, Ephram and Lori are amazing. The facilities are superior. The counselors are wonderful. My son is in the middle of his 4th summer and has the time of his life when he's there. If you've read that a counselor was asked to leave before camp started, I'm sure there was a reason. Ephram and Lori's top priority is the safety of the children. If they get a bad feeling from someone on the staff, they have every right to ask them to leave. After all, they are responsible for 290 kids every summer. They take that very seriously. Isn't that the kind of people you want watching out for your kids? I can't say enough wonderful things about Wekeela. It's my son's home away from home. He does everything from golf to SCUBA. You name it, Wekeela has it.

Camp Wekeela really is a place where friends become family... being on staff as a returning camper is amazing and I can't explain in words how much Wekeela means to me. It is my second home and family and it is definitely a place worth sending your kids. I wouldn't think of any place I would have rather gone.

Wekeela is truly a community. Everyone there, campers and staff, truly loves it and comes back year after year. It is disheartening to read negative reviews of Wekeela that are simply untrue. Wekeela is the most accepting community I've ever been a part of and I met all of my best friends at Wekeela. If you want your child to have a life-changing summer, send them to Wekeela!

This camp is horrible, and is run more like a prison than a camp. The directors read the mail of the children, and listen to any phone calls. They also lie to the children. The bunks are a disorganized mess. My child who loved sleep away camp before going to Wekeela, now will never go to a sleep away camp again. Stay away - There are too many good camps around to waste your hard earned money on this camp!

This was our first experience with this camp. Upon our arrival the staff was extremely professional. The showed the grounds and answered any questions we had. We were able to view our child every day through photos posted on the internet. When we picked our child up he was full of wonderful stories. He said the food was great, activities were fun and he loved the people. We asked him if he would change anything and he said no and we asked if he was ready to come home or would he do another week. Well he had such an amazing time he wanted to stay. I think that speaks for itself regarding Camp Wekeela.

There is so much that could be said about Wekeela. Come this june, I will have spent ten summers of my life in this wonderful place. I attended for 7 years, and now have come back to work for three as a staff member. Wekeela holds boundless opportunities for positive growth among children and teens alike. It is truly an incredible place that encapsulates what every perfect summer camp should; friendships and memories made to last. Not to mention, the facilities are fantastic, and as a camper, the abilities to participate in activities of all different genres (drama, watersports, landsports, outdoor adventure, creative arts etc.) are endless. Though obviously -by reading a few posts below- there are certainly people who have their qualms with Wekeela out there, the nature of these complaints are of mindless, vengeful bias. Though some many not appreciate Wekeela for what is, the (unbelievable) consistent return of staff and campers can only attest to the greatness of this place.

I work at Camp Wekeela as a counselor and I am part of Perforrming Arts section. I chose this camp because it gives the campers to experience more than one activity. It also give a chance for campers to interact outside their age group and they also have a chance to meet people from different countries. Wekeela has a wide verity of diversity where everyone can learn from eachother. With in the months that everyone participates in everyone becomes family. Camp Wekeela is very welcomely place to go. I never new that there was a place that for 8 weeks kids could be kids enjoying a summer of fun instead of playing video games. Wekeela brings back the old school way of having fun during the summer. Everyday at Wekeela is a new adventure

Wekeela allows campers to enjoy the beautiful outdoors while making long lasting friendships. The camp has constant activity and encourages growth in social, physical, and emotional ways. Supporting this growth are a wide range of counselors who have either been campers themselves, come from foreign countries, or who are looking to help kids become more outstanding. Campers love it. Counselors love it. Parents love it. There is no place on Earth like Camp Wekeela. Ask a camper- they will tell you the same. Or a counselor who used to be a camper or a counselor who wasn't. Evening activities are fun and creative. The emphasis of the camp is on safe fun, with a great lake, sports, theater, crafts, camp fires, and hiking trips- campers are busy and engaged- building self esteem, independence, and social skills. A truly amazing place.

Camp Wekeela is the best place on Earth. I feel so assured that i have amazing friends I have made over the year and feel great that I have friends outside of my state and get to live with 13 other kids during a 2 month period. The directors at Camp, Lori and Ephram, are the 2 best people on earth, they are nuturing, caring and loving and even though you are not their children you feel like you are. Camp activities are the best amazing and fun and over a summer you can learn so many new skills. I encourage all to go to this camp. You truly feel like you are in a place that cares about you and wants you to have fun. CAMP WEKEELA IS THE GREATEST!

Camp Wekeela was a complete ripoff for me as a counselor. They discriminated against me because I had very mild OCD and fired me for it after a week. They didn't look at my medical report until after I got there. I guess honesty on the medical report doesn't pay. I didn't get drunk like the other counselors, and I wasn't involved in any inappropriate skits like other counselors did. After I was fired, I looked at the videos of them, they look like a cult, but they are not, they just rip you off. It is very expensive to send kids there. Most of the parents who send their kids there are ones who don't want to watch them over the summer. Some of the facilities are bad, although the food was good but not worth the money. I had to pay extra to get my flight back home. They were going to send me to random bus stop without a flight. Please boycott this camp. I hope they go out of business. Hopefully the recession will take care of them.

Kids go to a summer camp to have fun and if they are not having fun, parents should hear about it. At this camp, admin read the children's outgoing mail and cross out things that they don't want the parents to hear. They also listen while the kids are talking to their parents on the phone to make sure the kids are not saying anything bad. The camp is clearly unorganized and it shows during the activities. The food and facilities are poor considering how much people pay to go to the camp. Also, if your child has ever done anything bad in their life, the staff will hear about it and make the child feel like they do not belong until the kid feels like they have to leave.

The people who go there love it, I think it is a very nice camp. But the facilities are not outstanding, and the food is poor.

When I'm not at Camp Wekeela, I'm thinking about it. You make such great bonds and there is som much spirit. The councelars are awesome and the director, Ephram is awesome. Camp Wekeela is the best place on earth, and possibly the best place in the galaxy, solar system, and universe.

Epram, the director is a but of a psycho. He's always angry, and he never has anything positive to say. He's a real Ogre, and he kinda looks like Shrek (but not green)

This camp is incredible. There is such a sense of high spirit and togetherness. I know I'm laying it on thick but the children become more confident and mature with each summer.
