All of the special events are really fun and enjoyable and the same with the every day activities. And also, the food is AMAZING. Can t wait to go back.

I can't say enough good things about this camp. My son started going there 3 years ago. We had a plan of sending him for 3 weeks and he ended up staying for the whole summer. When you get letters home saying "Thank you for sending me here" and "This is the most amazing place" you know you are in good hands. The directors and entire staff really make this camp a "home" for the summer. There are many summer camps out there, but it is the creativity of the staff that make Mah Kee Nac a stand out. The programs and special events that they put on and take place every week continue to surprise and astound both the campers and parents alike. They top themselves every single year and it keeps the kids coming back. If you are looking for a traditional summer camp for boys, I urge you to check this one out. You will not be disappointed.

Our 14 year old son will be entering his 5th year at MKN after attending another camp for 2 years where things didn't work out. There are not enough words to describe how fantastic MKN is. Our son is by far his best self during the 7 weeks at MKN each summer. They teach him life lessons and skills that I know will carry him into manhood. I LOVE THIS PLACE! It truly is EXTRAORDINARY!! The directors are attentive and know the kids. They hire amazingly good staff members who bond with their boys and make each summer an experience that our son lives for the other 10 months of the year. If you could design a place to send your son, MKN is what you would come up with if you could have everything on your wishlist.

Very disappointing experience. Our child was homesick, and the remedy they chose to employ was to give up and send him home. Not sure what kind of summer camp does that, but we obviously won't be back and I'd suggest looking elsewhere if you're looking for a place that can handle a kid who might get homesick.

An amazing camp. It is exactly what summer camp should be. My son just finished his 2nd year there and can't wait to go back next year. He is building such amazing friends, the kids and the staff such good people. The regular activities and special events they put on are incredible. Even the food gets rave reviews. They take such good care of the kids. They get to try new activities and gain a new independence. The directors and staff are so attentive and amazing for both parents and the boys.
Couldn't recommend Mah-Kee-Nac enough.
