Camp Cobbossee Review

I go there and it is flat out lit! Dude it is dope fam!

I am 22 now, and am looking back at growing up. I went to Cobbossee four consecutive years - from when I was 11 to 14 years old. I was essentially forced to go by my dad, as he wanted me to experience something new. I was overweight back then and did not regularly play sports, and at first I seriously did not enjoy being there. Not only was I homesick, but I had a lot of trouble connecting with my peers. I lived in Europe at the time, so that had to do with this, but it was mainly because of my physical state and ability. I was made fun of and laughed at quite a bit. Although this had me feeling down at first, I realized that this should not deter me from enjoying myself. Instead of taking the criticisms I received from others to heart, I let go of them and focused on improving myself and having fun. In doing this, I grew a lot as a person, both physically and mentally.

I give the rating four stars because although I was able to get past being made fun of, I witnessed a lot of others who were not able to and consequently did not enjoy themselves. The staff at Cobbossee claim that this high level of competition and harshness is not present, but that is what they say in order to try to get rid of it, or perhaps in order to try to ignore it in order to get more kids to enroll. If you are considering enrolling, or you are considering enrolling your son, please consider this. It is good to approach partaking in this camp expecting to be interacting and engaging with a lot of highly competitive kids.

I'd worked there in 1997 - summer as a kitchen staff, so it was really great experience!

Our son has the time of his life, Summer after Summer! It s truly a magical place.

This is a truly amazing camp!! It teaches not only the kids but also the staff members the true meaning of sportsmanship, community and brotherhood! I will never forget my time there, I am so grateful I got to go and I am so excited to head back next year!!

Just the best summer camp possible for boys who are interested in sports. A great spirit there of brotherhood.

I hope I get this job I really think I choud grow my career as a chief there and learn from the best

My brother went and had only great things to say about his experience. He always had things to do and he said color war was so fun. He said the water skiing was amazing and he is excited to go back next year!

This will be my 2nd year on the Maintenance Crew. Coming in to Camp in the morning, you get this feeling that your going to make a difference in someone's life, which in return makes me feel awesome, and at the end of the day when it's time to go home, I just want to stay. The kids have so much fun there!! I wish I was a kid again, because you grow up so fast, and you forget your childhood. Here at camp you don't! I work a full-time job during the week and work at camp on the weekends. I love it there!! Everyone there is awesome!!

Hi, I worked as Head of Baseball at CC in 2000. I have played athletics at the collegiate level and experienced all manners of joy in this life, but one of my greatest joys was my summer working at CC. In fact I loved it so much I am in the process of building my own camp in North Georgia, from the inspiration I encountered at CC.

Cobbossee was so unique and special for all attendees, from the a.m. breakfast lineup, to the daily competition in all the many sports represented, to the infamous Color War, this place is truly a blessed place for boys. Not too many days pass, as I build my own dream camp for boys, that I do not vividly remember the summer of 2000 with the folks up at CC. I hope it is as special these 18 years later. Keep going Cobbossee!

I've work here for going on my 4th summer. If I didn't enjoy it I wouldn't do it. Its my second family.
