Always a pleasure coming back here every year with the housing staff; however this year was not as…read moregreat as the prior years. The food was okay but killed my stomach both breakfast, lunch and dinner. Like, the breakfast hashbrowns tasted burnt as f! haha, my goodness, how can you mess that up? The lake was preoccupied with another group so I had to wait 30 minutes before being able to go in and even then, the lake was so crowded I could barely get in & out (ended up colliding with other people and falling into the lake). The ropes course was the only great part of the trip along with the fireside. I loved the activities and the bonding experience I made the past three years here, so i recommend this place if you want to do some team bonding (not really to go and relax)

Bonfire space and an indoor basketball area. The staff here is friendly and they are fairly accommodating. The food there is normal (tacos, burgers, hot dogs, salad, etc.). A fun place, if a bit far from NYC (there's actually a grocery, pizza joint, and gas station nearby). A parking lot for those with cars.

We were all anxious and signed him only for one week, and mentally ready to go pick him up early in case he wanted to come back. I remember receiving a call from one of the directors two days after Camp started. I thought: my son is homesick and they are calling to go and pick him! Instead of that, he asked to call home to beg if he can stay longer! He was having so much fun and enjoying himself. For summer 2017, he wants to stay the 4 weeks!!! He can't wait. We love Stomping Ground Camp!

This is a review for the summer camp, only, where my seven-year-old Onondaga Chief has been going…read morefor two years in a row. Adam Wallach and Ken Barer do an incredible job of running the camp, marketing it, communicating with parents, rallying kids for weekly spirit days -- and generally rockin' it. The kids swim twice day and are given just the right amount of freedom for their age. My guy was thrilled to ride his bike around on trails independently (without a grownup following closely) in mountain biking. Picky eater though he is, he seems to eat decently well, carbo-loading every day at lunch. Kids get occasional treats like fruit sushi, which the kids get to make themselves, trips to an ice cream truck, and cold (not-too-unhealthy) popsicles in the afternoon. Our guy kept telling us about eating fresh strawberries at lunchtime that were picked, he said, from the camp's own strawberry patch. (I can't verify this claim; it did seem like it'd take an improbably long growing season and an awfully, awfully large patch of strawberries to supply all those hungry kids for the summer.) Counselors keep the kids hydrated in the heat, buses are shockingly timely (MTA should take note!). Bus counselors do a great job of communicating bus arrival times. Activities are varied and interesting, including options like "mining," water works, pottery, archery, crafts, farming(!), all manner of sports (tennis, soccer, baseball, etc..) -- and there is always something new going on. My guy was excited to go from the moment he woke up each morning. Yes, the camp is guilty of blatant cultural appropriation -- but we get that at this point, there's monetary value in the branding that makes change difficult. At least they're changing the logo in coming years. We'd be thrilled if they actually taught the kids a bit about the tribes of the Haudenosaunee / Iroquois Confederacy that the groups are named after. (Our son reports that there is some sort of small "museum" on the grounds with a few artifacts found on-site.) We did some of our own research. All in all a fabulous, fun way to spend the summer. Our guy is counting the years until he gets to be a counselor himself.

Plus, there is a preschool during the year. What a GREAT place!

As many others have said, we had a strange experience with the owner Elinor. She is agressive, and…read morecould communicate more clealy or effectivley with people. She would constanly stop the trail ride and have us all pose and arrange our horses for her to take pictures, which was super annoying and cut into our trail ride time which cost $240. I justified this by assuming she would send us the photos after the session, since she makes you leave all your belongings including phone prior to riding. After the ride when we followed up with her she refused to send us the photos. Not only just refused, but spent a good deal of time making up reasons as to why she would not send them. All this after stopping our ride and having us pose repeatedly for these photos. I went back and forth with her by text message asking her to send the photos. She would write long texts back saying they all have to be reviewed and gone over first and there were 5000 photos in front of us to go through... lol.. Said we can't just cut infront of outer people.. hmmm.. In a fraction of the amount of time she spent babling and going on about why she wasnt sending us our photos she could have just texted the photos to us. This woudl have been a reasonable normal thing to do. In addition you will be using riding helmets from a big garbage bin outside that other riders have just returned with no cleaning. Just something to keep in mind. To date we have not recieved any photos and she still refuses to send them. If anything changes I will update this post. I would avoid this place, as there are a lot of red flags..

We had a really enjoyable trail ride here and would recommend it, especially if you appreciate a…read moredirect and safety-focused approach. After reading some other reviews, I think it's important to set the right expectations. This is essentially a one-woman operation, run by an independent and hardworking owner, Elinor, who is deeply passionate about her horses. Her number one priority is the safety of the riders and her animals, and her entire system is built around that. Her communication style is direct, loud, and to-the-point. We found this to be a huge asset on the trails, as you can always hear her instructions clearly. She refers to riders by their horse's name, which is an efficient way to keep track of everyone. If you are good at following directions and want to be led by a confident, experienced guide, you will be in great hands. A few things to know: Policies are for a reason: You'll be asked to leave phones and keys in your car. This is partly for safety (things can easily fall on the trail) and, I suspect, to protect the integrity of her business. She is clear about her policies and expects you to follow them. She's a solo act: Because she runs everything herself, the trails aren't perfectly manicured, but she is an expert at navigating them and will guide you around any obstacles. The fields are truly beautiful and my friend said the long, rustic grasses blowing in the wind gave the ride a more authentic experience and reminded her the prairies in books she read growing up. Because Elinor is a one-woman superstar, this also means she's very busy, so be patient when it comes to receiving the photos she takes. She is accommodating: Despite her busy schedule, she was incredibly kind and responded to us at 11:30 PM the night before to add another rider to our group. Bottom Line: If you're looking for a polished, multi-staff operation with pristine trails and lots of hand-holding, this might not be the fit for you. But if you want an authentic, safe, and efficient riding experience led by a true horsewoman who knows what she's doing, you will have a fantastic time. We respected her expertise and her hustle.

The players returned to their bunks to find their bags opened and money/electronics stolen. Many rooms were stolen from. Over $1000 in cash stolen in total along with cell phones, ear pods, jewelry. The camp is saying they are unaware of the theft. It was obviously the lowlife trash camp counselors that must prey on the newcomers each week. They are pieces of garbage, typical criminals that can't get ahead in life so they steal from others. There are no cameras, therefore they will keep their new found money. It's ok, keep it. But hopefully they all die young. Hopefully their family members all get cancer at a young age and die. Worthless camp counselors who steal from the guests. Cancer is a perfect gift on its way for all those involved in the theft and all of their family members. We can't wait.
