The founder recently passed away but his family is continuing to run the camp. Nice to have this option just 2 hours from DC.

We have done this camp for 3 years, my kids love it. Very traditional rustic outdoors camp, if your kid needs electronics, air conditioning, or is scared of swimming in the lake and playing dodgeball it’s not for you. Like many sleepaway camps there are lots of foreign counselors, which we enjoyed.

Past threads on this. Try searching!

We've only been there for Family Camp (in the fall), but had a good time. The cabin sleeping accommodations were a bit spartan for my wife's tastes, but were pretty comparable to what I've seen elsewhere for sleepaway camps. Overall the facilities were good. ES-age DD did interact with the staff who were there and made fast friends with a few. So can't give you a full a review, but we had a fun/positive experience.

Considering Camp Friendship for my middle schoolers. I am interested in any feedback. We are not doing the equestrian camp. Did kids have fun? How were the counselors?
