My daughter started going to this camp when she was 9 and my son started when he was 8. They've gone each and every year since. This summer will be my daughter's 9th year and my son's 7th! Each year, I've watched them grow more confident, more responsible, and more mature because of the great camp experience they have had. The CHoRR values are truly alive (Caring, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility) and are modeled by the staff as well as the campers. This is a camp that truly develops their mind, body and spirit. My daughter will be a junior counselor this year. She went through their Leader-in-Training (LIT) program, their Counselor-in-Training program (CIT). She says next to home, she's happiest at camp and that the LIT year was one of the best experiences of her life-challenging, reflective and overall wonderful. My son looks forward to it next year, provided he is accepted. I cannot recommend this camp enough! The staff is phenomenal and the setting is classic american summer camp!
