I've never felt more confident in a camp staff, I know my kids are having the best Summer of their lives. I'm just so grateful we took a chance and broke free from our normal friend group and tried this camp. No regrets! My girls made friends instantly! We will be back for Summer 2026! 100%.

I was so pleased to see the pristine forest understory. No garlic mustard crowding out the natives! Kudos to the staff and volunteers for taking such good care of this beautiful resource. The woods looked healthy--like what I remembered from childhood, before garlic mustard invaded the Midwest. It made me realize how much we have lost in many of our woods. I really was here to see migrating warblers, and I was rewarded with bunches of Palm, Black and White, Chestnut-Sided, Magnolia, Yellow-Rumped, and a brilliant pair of Blackburnian warblers. There was also a Red-Breasted Grosbeak sitting about five feet over my head letting me get a good look at him. The trail I walked wound through the woods and along a pretty creek and the air was full of birdsong. There was also a nice visitor's center. Great place.

Yes, summer camp has bugs and tents and the great outdoors - I don't see that as a negative. There are plenty of summer camps that cater to all types of kids, including those that need internet and air conditioning in order to have a good time. My favorite part about the programming at Camp Anokijig is the amount of self-directed choices each camper gets to make, every day. Skills are chosen once they arrive at camp. There are multiple free periods each day, where all camp activities are fully staffed and the campers get to choose what they want to do. These campers get more age-appropriate independence and the opportunity to make their own decisions during one week at Camp Anokijig than they do anywhere else.

BEWARE - Not Safe or Suitable for First-Time Campers…read more This camp was a traumatic experience for my son and his friend, who was attending sleepaway camp for the first time. The accommodations were extremely poor--my son described cracks in the floors where you could see the ground, spider webs everywhere, and a general sense of neglect. Campers were not allowed to use outlets to charge personal fans, even though temperatures reached 100 degrees. Twenty people were crammed into one un-airconditioned bunkhouse. Meanwhile, counselors were using outlets for their phones and had snacks and energy drinks in the cabin--despite a stated no-food policy. My son also mentioned that counselors slept on both sides of him, which he found unsettling. He didn't shower the entire time because of long lines and limited availability. He was so relieved just to shower when he got home. Cabins were not locked at night, and the tent accommodations were practically open to the elements--walls weren't even attached, so without a net, campers were exposed to bugs and the outdoors. Everything felt bare bones and worn out, like it hadn't been updated in 100 years. The camp seems to have invested in a new shelter, but neglected critical needs like air conditioning or an improved commissary. The food was limited, and my son, a normally good eater, barely ate. Snack shop lines were 40-50 kids long--completely disorganized. Adding water misters or a pool would help with the extreme heat, especially since the lake was brown and murky. My son refused to swim in it--he loves the water, so this speaks volumes. Because he didn't take the swim test in that water, he was not allowed to use most boats--even with a life jacket. At night, it was pitch black. No nightlights, no reading quietly in bed--just total darkness, which scared him. He was even yelled at for running--apparently, there's a no-running policy. That completely baffled me. The only bright spot was the nursing staff--my son felt well taken care of medically. But overall, the experience was very upsetting. I received an alarming note three days after drop-off and had to pick him up early. We were forced into a full-week session (the only available slot), even though we preferred the half-week. So we lost money on top of everything else. When I asked a counselor about how he did, I got no feedback. They didn't even consult with the counselors who were actually with my son. Later, he told me he was hit in the head with a golf club--yet no incident report or communication was ever sent to us. In conclusion: If your child is new to sleepaway camp, this is NOT the place for them. The accommodations are poor, the rules are confusing, and the supervision questionable. My son was in tears at pick-up and continued to tear up throughout the evening as we talked about his experience.

My daughter rides consistently and the prices are so affordable that I don't mind. She is being taught everything from grooming and tacking and riding to cleaning up, personal responsibility, safety, and riding etiquette. Every lesson is different. There are different types available for riders of different skill level, type, age, and approach. The stable owner and trainer is hands on, patient, funny and so respectful. I am just never anything but impressed with her and the team of workers and volunteers that help her out (including Husband Dean). We had our first birthday party there this year and it put things just up and over the top. I had to do a review. I cannot recommend this place any higher. Its a home away from home. 5 stars and beyond.

We made an appointment ahead of time and as soon as we walked in the door we were greeted by a lovely woman who spent good time explaining to us just how to safely work with glass, and not get cut or hurt in any way. The instructions are very in depth but necessary. When is was time to start the creative process, my granddaughter knew just what she wanted to create and loved selecting all the parts to make it just as she wanted. Start to finish was about 190 minutes, but it could be faster or slower, depending on how your creative juices flow. In the end she was thrilled with her project and we sprayed it to keep it in position for the transfer to the kilns. In 7-10 days I will return and pick up the final project. Our final cost for a 6" square art piece came to $40. We can't wait! The cost is not super cheap, but you know exactly what you are paying before you start. The supplies are endless and we plan to return for other activities as soon as possible. We saw entire families enjoying themselves, and this is a great activity to do with all ages, young children to adults. The options for art projects are: Paint Your Own Pottery, Glass Fusing, Acrylic Paint Projects and Board Art. The Clay Hand Building is now offered only in a class session. Stop in and take look. Then make an appointment for some really nice fun.

We decided on Christmas tree ornaments. Morgan got all our working tools and was very thorough in explaining how to cut the glass and told us if we needed any further help she would be happy to help.

The atmosphere was so comfortable and warm. You could paint or do pottery. So many things. I think we just started our new tradition to make a new ornament yearly. We had booked some open creating time. But you can register for any of the classes they offer as well. We will definitely be back. Everyone was helpful and kind. Can't say enough good things about the whole process from start to finish. Took about 7 days to have the project fired and ready for us to pick up. Our ornaments are beautiful on our tree.
