I have sent my children to camp here for the past 6 yrs. I don't think there is one single thing I…read morecan say that is negative. This is a family owned business with the upmost care and concern for the children and their safety, health, and well being while there. There are division heads who reach out to you to assure your children are enjoying themselves and address any concerns you may have. Everyone greets you and goes out of their way to offer their assistance if you look lost as you are vising your little ones for the day. The counselors are bright and lively and extremely engaging. As far as the grounds are concerned, up to date and vast with a brand new dining hall, fire pit for smores during overnights, pools and lakes and everything you would want your child to be offered at camp. Everything is so updated, they are always looking to make improvements, and they are always offering whatever the latest in game or in activity is. They are actually ahead of the latest anything!!! They literally leave no stone unturned. Your child's enjoyment is their upmost priority!!! I adore the Breene's, camp owners, and think they are doing a tremendous job. Everyone of you!!!!! Thank you as your efforts have not gone unnoticed.

Today, Harbor Haven is 7 weeks of summer fun for many campers across northern New Jersey. Within the fun and exciting environment of camp, our primary purpose is to support each camper in the areas of: social and group skills, language/communication, behavior, academics, and fine/gross motor skills. We want each child to experience success, thereby building confidence and positive self-esteem. With smaller staff to camper ratios, structured activities, and trained staff, our campers thrive! Our 3-15 year old campers participate in our general camp program. Our 16-18 year old campers participate in the LIFE program, focusing on life and job skills they will need as they become adults. The experience and memories gained from a summer at Harbor Haven are incomparable and last a lifetime. Check out our website and social media for the most updated information.

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!!!

His entire staff is impeccably trained - everyone always has a smile and warm/welcoming words (and it's not fake, it's the culture there). Not only are the facilities great (GAGA pits, 2 pools, high ropes course, giant zip line, archery, arts & crafts, drama, etc etc and fields for: baseball, soccer, flag football and lacrosse...the kids even get to play dodge ball) but the staff is simply amazing - incredibly supportive and patient, always there to help and encourage. Campers not only learn how to win but more importantly they learn how to lose and have sportsmanship. The camp has an underlying philosophy based around helping each child become their superstar self - excelling at something. They also teach how to be social with their peers, how to be a good citizen, how to take responsibility...basically how to be a good person in all aspects of their lives.
