Camp Netimus For Girls

This camp was perfect for my daughter and she is so happy to go here. She has been going here for the past three years and will be back for a fourth year. She has made wonderful friends who she keeps in touch with along with very responsible and kind counselors. This camp is very well maintained along with clean bunks and my daughter has only said good things about the food. There is something for everyone to do and I highly recommend sending your child to Camp Netimus.

This camp has done wonders for both of my two girls. Their experiences, year after year, exceeded both their and my expectations. They had tons of fun, relaxed, learned new skills, became better listeners, developed empathy, and connected more to their own growing selves each year. Most importantly, my daughters made unique and deep friendships; at 23 and 16 years of age, their camp friends still mean the world to them. They rely on their camp friends. Choosing Camp Netimus was one of my best decisions. I’m so grateful for their time there.

I sent my two daughters for three weeks to Camp Netimus in 2022. One of them, my 9 y/o had a blast. My second one, 12 y/o had to be picked up after the first week because she had an awful time. The problem was that she was placed with older girls. The camp reimbursed us for the total cost of the camp. The most troubling component was that the administration lied to me. From the first day when they sent us pictures of the girls I could tell my daughter was not happy and that her cabin mates were older. I called and emailed several times and was assured that was not the case. When I finally was able to speak to my daughter after the first week, the first thing she did, with no prompt from us, was cry and she said that the girls in her cabin were all older and were teasing her calling her “child”. She also said that the girls were all mean to each other and would talk about killing themselves. She said one of the girls smeared period blood over the walls and left the dirty panties with soiled pad on the floor. Once confronted, the admin claimed it was a misunderstanding, that they had misread the information in all of the other girls’ paperwork and thought they were all younger. Yes, I know it was as ridiculous as it sounds. As much fun as my younger child had, I just can’t trust the admin. A shame because I think if my daughter had been placed with peers she would have had an amazing time.

All 3 of our daughters have spent many summers at Camp Netimus with our youngest still going. The girls have loved their experiences there and we wouldn't change a thing. They have formed wonderful friendships with other campers and counselors who come from all over the globe. They have learned independence and leadership and truly enjoy "unplugging" for the summer. The facilities are perfect with a wonderful lake for swimming and boating. We recommend Netimus without any reservations whatsoever!

Beautiful rustic summer camp with a multitude of activities, internationally staffed, and allows for girls to create life-long friendships. A priceless experience for all who attend and they are celebrating 90 years in operation.
