My daughter loved this camp the first two years she came. She went this year after a gap year the…read moreprevious year and had a horrible experience. She was physically assaulted by another camper. The Director and Counselors avoided responsibility and refused to call the other girls parents. I asked the Director why she was refusing to contact the other girl's parent and she said it was because the girl was a liar and she wouldn't be able to believe a word she said. The girl also stole an iPad from one of the counselors, and other things. My daughter also had an ear infection and strep throat (she contracted both at camp)They would not let her call me and told her to continue with activities even though she was sick. Mysteriously, I never received one letter from my daughter even though she wrote my twice. The camp grounds are poorly maintained and dirty. Unfortunately, we will not be returning

Ok, so I may be just a little biased since I worked here this past summer, but I have to say, if…read moreyou are looking for a camp that is rustic (we do have electricity and running water), with a well knit community that carries on traditions that date back to the 1930's that is all girls, then this is your camp! Upon arriving to camp, I was blown away by the location of the camp. Rolling hills and many trees along with small woodland creatures. I love the outdoors and camping and nature so this was heaven for me. Camp is nestled in the heart of the Pocono Mountains and is about 15 minutes from town. It has its own lake and also their own ranch. I do have to say that camp participates in Pike County Athletics, which consists of other camps in the area, and Camp Netimus won first place overall in the Pike County Horse Show in 2010. There are a couple directors that oversee the camp and they are some of the greatest and nicest people you will ever meet. Jim and Donna Kistler were the original directors and are still there today helping out with everything. Brendan and Darlene Calton are the big bosses as I like to call them and pretty much wear many hats. Tabitha Taber is a former camper that is also another director. There are many international campers that come to camp and they fly in to either Newark Liberty or JFK in NYC and are picked up by camp. In addition, we have bus service to DC/Baltimore area, Philly and also NYC that transport your daughter to camp as well. Camp runs for 7 weeks. You have your choice of the full session, or you may send your daughter for 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 week sessions. There are so many different activities to choose from during that time such as: Archery, Horseback Riding, Ropes, Swimming, Canoeing, Sailing, Kayaking, Soccer, Running, not to mention field trips to baseball games, fairs and much more. They even write letters home to the family once a week (some choose to write everyday). They are allowed care packages from home and that makes the girls very happy. This is just a little bit of what they offer. I hope that you enjoy learning some of what goes on at camp! You should really go check Netimus out! Your daughter will have memories that last a lifetime, not to mention friendships that last a lifetime!

Having grown up going to camps every summer - I was devastated thinking my son wouldn't get that opportunity. I looked at special needs camp but they didn't seem a fit, and I knew mainstream camps weren't an option as there wasn't enough support. Round Lake has been perfect. The camp provides the support he needs but in a integrated setting. He loves camp and has made such great friends. And when he got back after his first summer, I could immediately see the positive impact sleep away camp had on him- he came back more independent, more confident and so, so happy! For anyone looking for a camp that provides extra support but in a mainstream environment - you should be looking at Round Lake!

I had seen some postings and some information about 2021 and thought that while there were some drawbacks, it was important to get my son out of the house and doing something for the summer. He has been sitting around too long and I want him doing more. When looking around, there were numerous other camps in the area and other kinds of programs, but when I had seen what greeley offered to what the price would be especially compared to the other programs, I thought that it would have been a steal. I jumped on the offer for a 2 week session and luckily everything worked out. Greeley was great, the people were very welcoming and worked with the kids very well and my son made a number of new friends which is the bonus to him being up and moving.

The kids were mean and cursed during the week and the camp did not address it. When I reported it to the camp directors (Mat and Rose), they never responded to my email. The many activities that were shown on the video were not available (the ropes course for example) due to being understaffed. My son actively disliked his experience. I will also say that this director responded to my review on google within 12 hours of my posting but as a parent I emailed and didn't hear anything for more than two weeks. This Director clearly cares more about image than actual responsiveness to parents or the camper experience. In fact, I am still waiting on a response to my email. We were not told in advance about activities being closed, and we were assured that although there were Covid staffing issues there would be enough staff to run a great camp. This was not my son's experience. There are many awesome camps out there and parents should know that the directors are unresponsive except to reviews.

As an OPWDD family, coordinating approvals, support brokerage, and Fiscal Intermediary (FI) requirements can already be extremely time-consuming, and navigating those systems often causes significant delays that are outside a family's control. I was hoping for greater flexibility and collaboration during the enrollment process, but instead felt that the process became increasingly difficult and ultimately decided not to move forward. I appreciate the importance of ensuring campers are a good fit, but I believe families navigating complex disability-service systems would benefit from more understanding, clear communication, and flexibility throughout the admissions process.
