Don't even really know where to start with this one. One of the worst experiences I've ever had…read morewith a summer camp. The camp counselors were constantly trying to take short cuts and get out of doing things that were agreed upon and paid for ahead of time. When it came to activities the counselors were constantly telling us they didn't have enough counselors to do all the activities when there were multiple counselors just sitting around. The good majority of the time was cold and could barely be chewed. We had literal frozen hash browns one morning that were taken straight out of the freezer and put on the buffet for the kids to eat. Almost all of the counselors when asked a question would roll their eyes and talk back. The facilities over all weren't in bad shape but the staff really ruined the experience overall.

If you remember watching "The Parent Trap" as a kid and thinking that's the kind of camp you want…read moreto go to, then Mah-Kah-Wee is for you. It is a rustic, outdoorsy camp, no cell phones allowed here! Camp Mah-Kah-Wee is a Girl Scout camp. They offer programs throughout they year for girls and have overnight camps during the summer. I have been to Mah-Kah-Wee many times over the years with my daughters, and I really appreciate that we have a facility like this so close to home. The camp surrounds a lake so there are many water activities like canoeing and kayaking available during the summer. There is also a swimming pool. They offer all of the standard camp activities like archery and crafts and they also have an obstacle course. My kids love this place. During the summer the week-long camps are themed so you can find something to match your child's interests. As for the facilities, the best place to stay is in the cabins. They have air conditioning! In Florida you NEED air conditioning in the summer. I've also chaperoned overnights in the tents, which aren't so bad, and a building they call the Eco Center, which is a bit more like a enclosed porch... no AC there. Overall, it's a great place. I highly recommend it. The prices for overnight camp are very good and the kids have a great time.

During Covid-19 the camp handled it like pros. I'm super happy my daughter is available to enjoy going to camp for the summer and make new friendships.

La-No-Che and scouting go hand in hand. If you're a scout and/or scout leader, especially in…read moreFlorida, you know about this place. Chances are you have probably also camped here at least once. It's an important part of being a scout and produces memories that you and your boys will have forever. There are different camping weekends throughout the year. They have a Tiger Growl weekend (just for Tiger Scouts), Webelos to scouts transition weekend, Cub Holiday weekends, Cub Halloween weekends and more. The camping activities are generally the same, but the themes change depending on the season and/or holiday. Their activities schedule for Saturday's are great because they are packed with things for the boys to do. By the end of the day the boys are bushed and and sleep like champs that night. They offer BB Gun shooting, archery, swimming, metal detecting, crafts, hiking and a play to name a few. They have a dining hall if you choose not to make your own meals and have a scout store/trading post where you will find anything and everything scouting related. Each campsite is quite large and features a covered and screened shelter to store your packs food/supplies. Those shelters also have bunks in their own rooms if needed. Each site also has its own flag pole if your pack or troop want to have your own flag ceremony each morning and evening. La-No-Che has their own flag ceremony that scouts must be a part of. Teaches the boys how to respect our flag and respect this country. Food in the dining hall is actually very good. My elite tongue was very happy with what I ate and it's only about $5 per meal. I'm a big guy and left each meal satisfied. During the Halloween season they have a haunted house and trail at night for the boys to enjoy. They also have trick-or-treating and a costume parade for all the boys to participate in. A Lot of fun and probably mine and my sons favorite time to camp here. This is a great team building/bonding camp for packs and troops and applies what it means to be a scout. If you have a son in scouting, this is a must. Your pack or troop should be coming here, especially if you reside in Florida. See you at La-No-Che!
