VERIFIED REVIEW PLATFORM · TEEN CAMPS 13–17 · WORLDWIDE

Camp reviews written by the campers themselves.

Every review on SummerCampAdvisor comes from a teenager who actually attended a session — written on their phone after camp ending, with a parent's approval on file. Every camp gets a reply, published underneath.

STEP 03 · 60 SECONDS
The camper writes it

Sixty seconds on a phone: five ratings, three short prompts, an optional photo. Then it publishes with the camp's reply and stays tied to that session.

The sailing was better than I expected, I came in never having steered anything and passed Level 2 in twelve days. Food got repetitive by week three, pasta four nights running. The instructors knew everyone's name by day two, which sounds small and wasn't.

REPLY FROM THE CAMP · PUBLISHED WITH THE REVIEW

You are right about week three, Mila. We have taken on a second cook and rebuilt the dinner rotation for 2027. — Anna R., Director, Blue Harbour
