We go on Labor Day weekend since our schedules no longer can accommodate a full week. Started when the kids were 3 and 5. Love it!

I am bringing back this old thread because to share how excited we are for our Deer Valley trip in a few weeks. We are all so looking forward to it.

On the first day, as you are unpacking into your cabin you can hear all the children racing down the hill to the ball courts, playground and beach. They've been waiting all year for that!

Nice to see other DV campers lurking about dcum.

Last year I think we paid Bout $2k for two adults and two teens. Younger kids are cheaper.

They will accommodate food issues.

The tween, young teen and teen programs are unbeatable.

It is fabulous. We have gone for ten years (our kids are teens now). Heaven on earth for all ages. The kids rub wild, you can sail and swim and do arts and crafts and sit on the little beach. The counselor are super friendly and competent, and great role models.

The food is good, not great but good. And you do not cook it. . There are fridges for camper food if you want to supply certain of your own things. The kitchen is very accommodating of special requests.

It is cold at night, you will need sleeping bags for the kids and a down comforter for you.

We went for several years and really enjoyed it. Your kids are the perfect age. Highly recommend, even without the beer.

Is this the YMCA camp in PA? I notice that they don't allow alcohol, so no sitting around the campfire with a beer at the end of the day. I don't think I could get dh to agree to that.
