The staff (from counselors to instructors) is also fantastic and a group of very experienced professionals. The directors are always developing new programs and bringing in the latest activities for campers of all ages. One of the newest additions to the camp is the climbing wall and zip line. My kids could not get enough of them. My kids are also huge fans of animals and the fact that Deerkill has a pony, and a couple of friendly alpacas is a great plus. Overall, I would recommend Deerkill to anyone that would like to provide their kids with the opportunity to have summers they will never forget making life long friends along the way. Thanks Deerkill, the kids can't wait to be back again this summer!!!

Great all around day camp for campers of all ages. What I…read morefind fantastic is that the counselors for each group are hand selected, and are from countries from all around the world , and is a fantastic way to show kids that no matter where you come from, you can get along and have fun with people that you might not ordinarily have interactions with. In addition, Greg and Sally do a great job every year of showing all the campers about what it's like for kids and families all around the world who are not as lucky as they are. From an activities perspective, I don't think you'll find another camp with such diverse things for the kids to do, from zip lines and wall climbs, to archery and helping out with the animals.

What a place for the youth to feel absolutely free and not be concerned about anything. To keep the youth focused on non stop activities and relating to each other, no phones were allowed! Good thing! I saw a deer or two. No bears : ) . I strongly suggest you take your teen there to renew, refresh and know what it is like to just feel free.

I was excited about the possibility of my son attending Ramapo because of its mission and…read morereputation. Unfortunately, our admission process became much more complicated than expected. 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.
