★★★★★ Chestnut Lake Camp creating memories of a lifetime
Our family has had a wonderful experience with Chestnut Lake Camp! From the incredible activities and beautiful facilities to the caring staff and amazing friendships, it truly provides everything you could hope for in a sleepaway camp experience. The camp offers such a great variety of activities, giving kids the opportunity to try new things, build confidence, become more independent, and create lifelong memories. What stands out most is the sense of community and the friendships that develop over the summer. Chestnut Lake is a very special place, and we would highly recommend it to families looking for a traditional sleepaway camp experience filled with fun, friendship, and personal growth.
What families say about Trail's End Camp
★★ 1 Summer, Didn't Go Back
I went to Trails End a few years back for one summer, and I had a much better experience at the next camp I ended up going to. The counselors and staff were great, and I enjoyed the lake/waterfront, but I found many of the other campers (who went for years before me) to be clique-y, and not very welcoming/inviting to new campers. Additionally, I was not a big fan of the food. I know people who made lifelong friends at TEC, but unfortunatley, I was not one of them.
