Camp Monterey - horseback fun

Camp Monterey

(4 reviews)

Secluded. Private. Girls only. Been around since 1945. Overnight summer camp in 4, 8 week sessions…read more I attended for 20 years, both as a camper and on staff, and it helped shape who I became. Not only does a young girl learn to live with other girls in nature, but she learns to live simplisticly and without the worldly distractions and pressures. Morals are instilled. Athletics are taught. And a girl leaves summer camp with an abundance of friends, love for the outdoors, and a sense of being a good, moral person with good sportsmanship, skills and talents. Please, if you have ANY questions, let me know.

I went to Monterey for 6 years in the early 60's and I truly think that it made me the person that…read moreI became. I learned things to do there that I never would have learned anywhere else. When I went you could go for either 4 or 8 weeks. Because I was 7 or 8 the first summer my parents sent me for 4 weeks thinking that it was a long enough time. Wrong! When the time came to leave I didn't want to go so.....I didn't get on the bus! Miss Dollie called my folks to explain and they let me stay the whole time. It was wonderful! So - what do you learn beside the usual camp activities? Looking back I can honestly say that I learned teamwork, independence, honesty, diligence, compassion, leadership, how to win - and lose - graciously, introspection, spirituality, self-confidence, this list goes on and on. When I had a daughter of my own she also went to Monterey. She now has a daughter and guess who's going when she's old enough? Monterey was founded by a wonderful woman named Dollie Williams. We all called her Miss Dollie. For those of you with sons, do not despair! Miss Dollie had a son - Malcolm - and he founded the boys' camp - Camp Country Lad. It's close to Monterey and is a mirror of Monterey built for boys. I'm older now and the world is a different place. I urge you to consider this opportunity for your daughter. It will definitely make a difference in her life. Be prepared - you may not get the same girl back that you send but what you will get is a wonderful child that will be source of pride and love forever. She will shine!

Totally safe and owned by kind hearted people. They let you into their home and treat you like their children! Rewarded with sweat treats and tons of fun crafts. You can be any level of rider and you will lead extremely quickly how to do anything you want to learn! You should try this camp! Everything to love!

Do not send your child to this "camp". There is no adult…read moresupervision, other than the lady who owns it. There is a small, dirty pool for the children to use daily, which has nothing to prevent accidentally falling in, no life saving equipment, and depth is unmarked. I cannot tell if the owner or any of the teenagers working for her are trained in lifesaving or first aid. The only restroom and changing room (one for both genders) for the children is in the owner's house, on the property. After my child's first day at the camp, I discussed with another parent, whose child was also in the camp (very close friends of ours), my concerns. The second day camp, my friend called the camp and spoke with the owner's teenaged daughter about our concerns. (this daughter keeps track of payments etc....not the adult owner)The daughter put my friend's mind at ease. 20 minutes later the owner called my cell phone several times in a row before I could get to it. Seeing that it was the horse camp I panicked, thinking something had happened to my child. I called her back. She said, "First of all, have you paid?" (I paid my deposit and tried to pay her the first day with debit...to which she said to pay her cash....hmmmmm...anyway we discussed the payment and I was to give her a check on the second day when I picked up my child) I asked if my child was ok. She was. She accused me of trying not to pay. Then...."and secondly, so and so's mom just called. Do you have a problem?" In a very aggressive way, she accused me of going behind her back and talking about the place to my friend and other parents. At my friend's advice, I called owner back because she wanted to "start over". She apologized and went on and on about crazy stuff....talking so fast I could hardly understand her. I just listened. Then she started talking about my payment and said that she was upset because we had no communication about payment. At this point I finally spoke. I told her she would get her f-ing check.....then she cut me off and told me to come get my f-ing kid. 10 minutes later, while I am on my way, she called again to tell me to come get my kid and hung up on me. At this point I called my husband who was closer to the place than I was and certainly not as pissed off as I was, to go get her. 10 minutes after that she called me again to know when I was coming to get my kid. At this point I was being a smart ass and told her that we would get there when we got there. Then she asked me if I was mentally ill and repeatedly, like a chant, told that I needed medicine. I had to interrupt her chanting to ask her what time she would like me to tell the police to come to uninsured, unlicensed business. The first day I had ever spoken to that woman my gut instinct told me something was very off. In addition, my child was stung by a wasp on that 2nd day and none from the camp even told me.

One counsellor in particular stands out in my memory from 1956. His name was Mr Hilton Jarvis. Always kind. Thoughtful in the way he taught you and looked after you during the day's activities.

They are glowing...raving....singing this camps praises.....and they stink to high heaven!!! I asked how many times they bathed.....ZERO! I mean what do you expect?! I haven't heard all the details but a word to the wise. Fill their accounts with $15....not $25. They're only allowed to buy 2 snacks a day....mine had $15 left over at the end of the week so he basically bought out the snack shack in the form of skittles, Reece's and a couple Dr Pepper. :) Make sure to remember the big spray (not that mine used a drop) one found a live tick crawling on him the second he entered the car :/. On the spiritual front they worshipped every day!!!! And read their bibles! They didn't use the journals we bought special for camp (at the camp's request) so there's that. I wish the leaders would've made them make time for journaling. It such a powerful life lesson and I haven't been able to make it stick at home. That's my only beef. And the lack of cleanliness. I mean my son fished EVERY DAY! Just saying:) Anyway, I'm planning on booking a week next year for sure!!!! Send your kids! Have a weeklong marriage retreat at home! You're welcome!!!! Only advice to the camp. Y'all could make the process better for parents by keeping up with the Facebook page while they're away so parents can see what's going on. Also, have a farewell letter or email to parents recapping how the week went overall....just a couple thoughts. The place is Uber laid back and chill which we just LOVE!!! Thanks a bunch!

Lt me first start by saying, I had a great time with our churches during our visit. But there are…read moresome thing's that really need to be looked into. First off, no cell service. While I know that is basically out of there hands, there is also no telephones in the buildings. Second, very difficult to find a camp leader/director when you need one. Those two things together isn't a good combo. Luckily we didn't have an emergency although we did have a scare as someone feel out of one of the top bunks during the night. The other thing is that the beds need brackets, ALL beds. First night + horrible bed = no sleep. I understand I'm not staying in a hotel but, adding brackets wouldn't be very difficult to do. A bed with no brackets means your head and feet are in the air while the rest is sunk in, similar to a taco. Other than those things, it's an overall beautiful place with many different things to do. It is a very large area that has multiple things spread out from each other. This is why we felt a telephone was needed. No outside contact.
