Parent Testimonials
“This camp is by far the best I have seen. My daughter truly appreciates much more than just a day camp. She has grown SO much with depth of relationship opportunities. She has more friends at Camp and this has improved her confidence exponentially. What Camp James offers campers is so much more than a “day camp.” It’s a wonderful opportunity for children to grow and create great social experiences.”
“We LOVE IT!!!! First time our daughter did the overnight campout and had a BLAST!!! Is excited to do it again next year!!!! THANK YOU!”
“The camp is really great, very well organized and directed. Counselors were always polite and helpful towards the parents. Counselors also showed good spirit and camaraderie between them and towards the kids. This is our first year attending and we are very happy we found Camp James. Thank you for a great summer Camp James!!!”
“Thank you for providing a place for my son to make himself filthy and exhausted each day — outside, away from electronics, engaged in fun activities with great role models. You are a blessing!”
“I just wanted to take the opportunity on Camp James Valentine’s Day to share a little love. First, I can’t tell you how much our family loves Camp James. You give my son, who is often anxious and hesitant to try new things, a safe place to engage in all kinds of activities. In his words, “Camp James is a place I can trust!” I couldn’t agree with him more. Thank you for earning our trust and giving Peter such great adventures.”
“I wanted to THANK YOU so much for having Brad this week. He can be reluctant to try new things and was pretty nervous to go to camp. All his fears were dispelled the first day and he has been excited to go every morning. He even rushed me out of the house this morning because he wanted to be there to “hang out” before camp started. The zip line and inflatable water park were huge hits, and he was talking all about the snowball fight you are having today. It makes me thrilled to see him this excited. So, thank you for an amazing camp experience!!! We will definitely be back next year.”
“I just wanted to let you know how much my kids have enjoyed themselves this summer. They are having such a great time. Last night I told my kids they only had three more Camp James days left. My 12 year old yelled, “NNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!,” my ten year old cried. Your staff is always courteous, loving, energetic, and most importantly trustworthy. I do not leave my kids with just anyone, but I have never hesitated to leave them at Camp James.”
“I have been camping at Newport Dunes for 10 days & wanted you to know how evident it is that the campers are having fun & the staff has been consistently kind, fun-loving, organized, and concerned for the safety of the kids. Our site has been near the restrooms, so daily the kids have stopped directly in front of us. Albeit quite noisy, I’ve really been impressed with the young people you’ve hired. It’s evident they enjoy the kids & everyone is having a good time. Way to go Camp James staff!”
