[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone have feedback on May Flather?[/quote]

My daughter is a Cadette, been to all four camps over the years since she was about 9, and MF is her favorite, hands down.

It's up in the mountains, so it's *much* cooler, even chilly at night, and the activities skew a bit more active and outdoorsy than at some of the other camps. (The climbing and caving are unique to MF, I think?) Of all the camps with biffies (non-flush toilets), theirs are apparently the cleanest and best maintained. She says the pool is OK, nothing to write home about, but the streams and lakes they swim/boat on are beautiful. The food is generally better, too, maybe because it's a different food service from the other three. Lots of stairs to the bunks, so wheeled bags aren't a good idea, although the girls usually help each other.

She also loved the MF camps that included White Rock excursions ("tree houses" on stilts—with slides!) where they have the high ropes course. Looks like they're not doing those this year, though, probably because of the multi-hour van ride.

I think part of what she likes about it is that it's all older girls, and most of them are fairly comfortable with the whole camp environment, so there aren't a "bunch of little kids running around freaking out about bugs and dirt," as she puts it. Although I gather the PJ Party camps tend to skew a little younger, and it's often the first camp experience for some of the girls. The art-focused camps aren't quite so outdoorsy as the others, either. [/quote]

Thank you so much! This makes me feel better about not getting into our higher choice.[/quote]
