    Mohawk is the BEST day camp! The team is so hands on--they live and breathe this place. The…read morecounselors are so great with the kids, there are so many different activities, the facility is beautiful. You wouldn't even know you are in westchester. 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!

    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.

    We've had our 2 kids for the past 3 summers at Oasis Dobbs Ferry. All the staff is cheerful and…read morekind. Kids come back every day happy and worn out from the activities. We're registering for 2025 shortly,

    I worked here for two weeks and had a really bad experience. We had super long hours and low pay…read morewhich I was aware of before take the job (around $3-4 dollars an hour working from 8:20-5:15ish with a 1 hour lunch break). Despite this, the office staff would often ridicule the counselors behind our backs and at times to our faces for displaying any tiredness, or wanting to leave/take our lunch break at the time that was agreed upon instead of staying extra and helping more. Higher ups often gossiped among themselves said really harsh and untrue things about counselors they didn't like, or essentially anyone who asked for anything from them. Me and a fellow female counselor were sexually harassed by two male counselors, one of which was older (like in his 40s) and had a leadership position. We reported one of the incidents and our supervisor said that they would not talk to the counselor because an anonymous counselor told them that I initiated the sexual conversation. I am pretty sure (though not completely sure) that the only people who heard the conversation were me, the two harassers, and the children at the front of the bus. That makes me think that the anonymous counselor was either one of the harassers, or they were made up. The other female counselor involved told her supervisor that she didn't want to get into the pool with or be in a bathing suit around her harasser. One day after she said that her supervisor made her get in the pool with him. There were numerous incidents of a counselors doing sexual harassment or making homophobic/antisemitic comments in front of (or in some cases to) the kids. It is true that a friend of mine reported the homophobic/problematic comments and the staff did talk to the counselor about it. Even after that conversation though, a lot of the comments were still being made. (For example, a counselor would put items on camper's heads and say, this is your yarmulke. Another example was the counselor was telling a story to some kids and saying "a boy liked me and it was gross." And he asked campers their pronouns and laughed at the prospect of their pronouns not matching their gender assigned at birth). Due to the work environment I messaged the director that I wanted to quit and she did not respond. When I got into work she looked at me angrily and would not address my quitting. I later learned that she was saying very unkind things about me to other staff members. She called me into her office and told me that she did not like that I complained about the pay, which I did complain about, but not to her. Another higher up heard me complaining and told her about it, but I think I have a right to complain. I also heard incidents from other counselors of the higher-ups intimidating people into not quitting, which is not okay. Overall the camp is fun for children but was really harmful for me and other staff who worked there.
