This was our daughter's third summer at Lohikan (the camp had been recommended to us by a friend who sent both of her children there 10 years prior with a positive experience). Overall this is an amazing camp. Every summer our daughter has returned home and started a countdown for when she returns to Lohikan. Her summers have been full of fabulous memories and new friendships - she feels Lohikan is her second home and part of her long term plans for life. She is already bursting with information on what camp life will be like next year when she moves up to an inter and fully intends to be a CIT and counselor in the future. The letters we receive from her are generally short because she is typically running from one activity to another. Lohikan gives the options of many activities while still allowing those who want to focus on a few activities the ability to do so. The kids in her bunk have been welcoming and friendly with many repeat campers from year to year.

From our perspective, Lohikan has quick, clear and effective communications and a well organized check-in and check-out process. This was maintained this summer with additional safety checks in place due to COVID. As parents, we also value their no technology policy which allows kids to focus their time and energy on screen-less activities. While we've been fortunate to date that there has been minimal "drama" it does seem any interpersonal challenges are handled fairly and thoughtfully by the camp and our daughter has always felt well supported and cared for by the staff.

Of special note, Lohikan devised a safe and effective plan to manage camp in the COVID summer of 2020. They were 100% successful with no cases over the course of 8 weeks at camp. As parents, we are immensely thankful and grateful that they provided a safe (while still fun) environment for our daughter. They gave her back a portion of her life that had been gone since March, this is invaluable to us as we start a school year remotely.

We would highly recommend Lohikan to anyone looking for a camp.
