    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.

    Mohawk is the BEST day camp! The team is so hands on--they live and breathe this place.

A great place for kids to spend the summer. The communication is top notch! They built their own app to share photos and for parents to talk directly with the counselors during the summer. Plus, there is a preschool during the year. What a GREAT place!

    Purchase day camp is great a few things i learned was how to swim and how to play many different…read moresports and how to cook, climb and many different skills . One of the reasons i gave a two stars is because most of the times the staff are really mean and rude they could be much sweeter. another thing is the downstairs pool the pathway around the pool is disgusting . Another thing is the kids there very rude and when i got told on for no reason i cant even say a word they make you say sorry and you sit out of activities they always take the persons side who told on someone even if they have proof or even if they saw or heard or knew who is a post to get punished. another thing is the staff yells at you to get in the freezing water and the snacks are great but if you only allow us to have two cookies or one whats the point of it let us bring our own snacks. another thing they could fix is buddy check instead of calling us out of the pool after 35 minutes of being in the pool to count all the kids do this at the end of the pool time. Another thing is thether day the staff ask the kids whats the song and what should be the first move in the dance when a kid says lets do this move and everyone hates it and does not want the move they force you to do it. Another thing is lunch the tables are sticky and gross and the food options are not healthy at all. Another thing is the staffs treats others very unfair they have favorites and always and i mean always let them do anything and everyone is left in the dust following the rules. Another thing is when other people who are like workers at the office when they cheek up on the groups the staff are much sweeter.This is why i rate two stars there are many better camps dont waste your money on this one at this point i stopped going here because of everything they do and act if i knew this before i sign up i would of ran away from the sign up forms!!! NEVER GO TO THIS CAMP IT IS A NIGHTMARE
