I strongly disliked this camp. some of the counselers were ok and some were really boring. most of them hated their jobs. Last year was my first year and am not going back this year. The kids were really rude and the swim test was way too hard (20 laps and 1 minute of treading water). By the end of the two weeks, i was no better at swimming than before. I learned nothing. The food was terrible. The cabins were mushed and uncomfterable. No one even bothered to introduce you to camp. I feel like this camp was a huge waste. This year I am trying a camp like camp Waziyath, forest acres, or laurel south. Even though these camps are WAY more expensive, i will actually enjoy it. The golf and horseback riding is like an hour away, so you waste time to even do it. if you like this camp, don't get offended by this. It's just that i think it was terrible. so, if you are thinking of going to camp frank a day, don't go. Instead, go to a more expensive that you will actually want to go back to.

My campers LOVE this camp. The staff are caring and nurturing and my kids can not wait to return this year. After checking out my son from his first summer he began to cry as we exited the driveway. I pulled over to ask him what was wrong and he replied that he already missed his friends. I am so grateful that my children get to have such a wonderful experience year after year. Keep up the good work Camp Frank A. Day!!

I have had two of my children attend FA Day over the past three years. They absolutely love it and can't wait to go back. Each of my kids began after second grade. Before they went, we were a little nervous about their readiness for an experience away from home. However, we found that the staff did an unbelievable job helping my kids to transition in comfortably, make friends, and have an incredible experience. The camp offers a variety of sports, team building, art and music options that provides something for everyone. My kids felt incredibly connected to the counselors, enthusiasm and traditions after a very short time. They both come home each summer with new social skills, independence and a sense of confidence and responsibility. Because of FA Day, my kids are better prepared for the future - and they are certainly prepared to have another great summer

I had a great experience in both 08 and 09 and had great counselers for both years. Unlike the past two years, 2010 was just awful. I did like my counselers but my tent was packed like sardines in a can, although i have been on a swim team for 6 years i was put in the lowest swim class after being the highest in the year before, And the new director was a horrible person. I had to leave halfway through my session even though i have been to camps for 4 years without any problems, i even wanted to stay for a month after i went last year. Needless to say, i will not be going back

I've been sending my 2 kids to CFAD for 5 years now. They rave about the counselors, who I've had a chance to meet during "observation days". Let's see if I can get this right- Caroline (a red headed counselor) is a favorite amongst both my kids because she has comforted my youngest during a swim lesson, took her cabin on a special boat trip, & taught my nervous son how to successfully waterski! What a feat, because our son plays tough, but is afraid of deep water! She was delightful when we met her in person. She even took us out on the boat during "observation day" to show us our son's skiing. Julia, counselor of my youngest daughter, helped our daughter through homesick nights. She was a true gem when we met in person at drop off and pick up. We were nervous about leaving our daughter because she is picky about her caretakers. Julia was lovely and capable. In sum, Camp Day is ideal if you are invested in the care that your children are receiving. Truly, wonderful.

I hated this camp, it was so boring and un-clean. It's just not a place you want to spend time in. The counselors are not involved with the kids and most of the kids are mean to eachother. Not a pleasureable expierience.

when i think about this camp i almost cry... Not because i miss it but it was such a horrible expirience. It was way too overpriced and the counselors did not care about us, they just went and drank alchohaul in the woods. I found the camp overall just boring and a waste of time

this camp was not a pleasurable expeirience for me because it is so focused on color day. If you do not like color day it will not be fun because everything at this camp is based on it. i found the counselors to be very mean and did not treat the kids fairly. This camp also does not give you enough time to just relax they have too many activities

This is the worst camp. Sending my daughter there was the worst experience of my whole life! Everyone was mean and she cried for 3 days after coming home! Everyone there was snobish towards me when I came to pick her up, and she came home with an infection!

Camp Frank A. Day allows kids to be who they want to be. Children learn about themselves and can accomplish things in life that they may have never gotten the chance to, unless they attended Camp Day. Everyone can be a beacon light!

Camp Day is truly a place to grow. I spent the best summers of my childhood there, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Camp Day creates lasting bonds between campers, counselors and staff members. Besides its scenic location and ample activities for campers, Camp Day provides a learning atmosphere as well. Campers are taught to respect differences and work together toward common goals. In addition, we are all told to be a Beacon Light a guiding force for our peers, not only at camp, but also in our daily lives. Camp Day provided me with knowledge I still bear upon today, and the summers I spent there will never be forgotten.

Camp Day is an amazing place to spend your summer. Whether it's sailing on the lake, making candles in arts & crafts, playing sports, or just hanging with your friends, there is just so much to do at Camp Day. The staff there is just so amazing. They are very attentive when ever they are with the kids. The staff does a great job of getting the campers involved in activities. The atmosphere of Camp Day is so contagious and upbeat. The food is great, and if you are a fan of salid-you won't be dissapointed with our salad bar. Camp Day is steeped in tradition and is truly "A Great Place To Grow."
