Review of YMCA Camp Jewell

Camp Jewell is the best possible summer experience...

Camp Jewell is the best possible summer experience a kid can have. When I first started going there I was shy, reserved, and didn't know much about myself or how to interact with other kids. After being a camper for 9 years and having the pleasure of briefly working there I have gained so much confidence and passion for pursuing my personal goals. Even though I haven't been directly involved with Jewell for a few years I still maintain amazing friendships with the people I met there and will never forget all of the important life lessons that Jewell taught me. Since I started going there my I've encouraged all three of my siblings, my older cousin, and my adorable baby cousin to visit as campers and they have all loved it. Please send your kids here, they deserve the experience.
