Camp North Star Reviews

One of the most fun and loving places we have. A great place for teenagers to grow and experience others who really care about them. Your children are guaranteed a fabulous time.

Camp North Star was a wonderful experience for our daughter in many ways. Camp staff was very watchful as we were unpacking our daughter's stuff, noticing that she was getting teary. As soon as we began departing, she swooped in to take our place. It made a huge difference. We got photos of the first day later that evening and our daughter was all smiles.

We received photos all week. The activities they participated in, particularly the evening camp-wide activities, were amazing - incredibly inventive, well-organized - a kid's dream (maybe adult's too!). We love the wide variety of activities offered, particularly horseback riding and Dungeons & Dragons....my daughter was thrilled to have that as an option. The water activities are also incredible - look at the pics online as words will not do justice.

The cabins are tidy, clean, and cozy, with bathrooms in each cabin. I was pleased when my daughter shared she never got hot as we are used to AC at night in the summer. : ) The grounds are spacious and well-organized.

Last, the staff was incredibly accommodating around my daughter's diet. Before she had allergies diagnosed she was on an insanely strict diet and Brooke worked with me to have on hand every thing my daughter required - literally a specially prepared dish for each meal and dessert. We simply would not have had the option of an overnight camp without that.

My daughter LOVED camp and looks forward to going again next summer.

This is the best summer camp in the world! It s like your home-away-from-home. The staff is very helpful, counselors are aware of my girls needs, food is awesome and the activities made each day so much fun for our girls. Definitely recommend it.

This camp is pure magic, in a down-home-natured, super fun and energetic way. My two sons have attended the camp for the past 3 summers and came home raving about it. They dream about it and can t wait to go back.

Camp North Star is a popular place for sleep away camp. i am very enjoyed this camp. good experience and beautiful weather. thanks so much

Premiere summer camp. Owners strive to make life changing impressions

This camp is the best! Thank you so much Camp North Star for a wonderful, active, healthy and friendly camp for our kids. Mike loves all the activities and sports he plays at the camp. The location couldn t have been better. I highly recommend this camp to anyone out there.

Awesome camp!! My brother went there and had nothing but great things to say about the camp. He always had things to do and he said the activities were super fun and enjoyable. He said the water skiing was AMAZING and he is excited to visit the camp again

I love this place! Great place for teens to have a good time and grow. Sailing, water skiing, climbing and much more. It is an amazing place and the people are so nice and caring. I have sent my children there for several years now and will continue to do in the future.

I am a camper here. This year was my first year here, but not my first at overnight camp. I was welcomed with open arms, and I couldn't be more grateful. Even with this ongoing pandemic, we were able to have a safe and happy camp experience. Even though I only planned on coming here for one year, once I came, I found that I couldn't leave. I hope to come back next year, and hope to spend many more weeks under the pines.

Very nice weather. I am very impressed. best summer camp for my life. thanks, Camp North Star.

I was at this camp it was a lot of fun going and doing everything I ever wanted to do

Camp sits on a beautiful piece of property with a gorgeous lake, where my kids days were full of so many different kinds of activities. From tennis, to watersports, to the arts, music, basketball, etc. Counselors were terrific, fun caring and responsible, and the owners who were present and very much hands on, provided a warm, caring, and safe environment for my 9 year old kids. We were amazed everyday as we scrolled through the photos how happy and engaged everyone was. Opening and running their camp as they did during the Summer of 2020, took a tremendous amount of fortitude, organization, planning and a positive attitude and can count our kids lucky they got to share in that community.

My daughter has had the opportunity for the last 4 summers to attend Camp North Star. There are so many activities to choose from. ( music, watersports, arts, drama, tennis and golf to name a few) My daughter loved how she got to choose the activities that she wanted to do and received detailed instruction. She found her love for water-skiing over the last couple years. The overnight trips were fun and amazing. The friendships she made here will last a lifetime. I forgot to add the food and camp facilities are top notch.
The owners are kind, caring and selflessness. The campers are their number one priority! Thank you for giving my daughter such a life changing experience at Camp North Star.

Very good camp. Excelent staff and location. Very recommended!

Great camp for kids to teach character development and how to be well rounded. My kids always have something new to do when they go to Camp North Star Maine. The staff is always courteous and very professional, the camps are well run and everything is always fun

We had a terrible experience with Camp North Star. The directors were very hostile and uncompassionate.

2019-My Daughter recently finished the 2 week session and wants to go back for a full month next summer. The owners are amazing and interact and know the names of every camper. Lot's of fun activities , everything you would expect of a high end mid sized New England overnight summer camp.

As the director of Camp North Star I can personally attest to the quality, care, and attention given to our program and our campers. Choosing a camp is difficult and the decision has a big impact on how your child will develop year after year. The personal connection that I share with every single parent and child at camp helps bring families from near and far who value the communication and relationship that is built amongst our campers and staff. Camp North Star is more than just a place...its a feeling and every day we work to make your experience with us a familial one. One filled with love, one filled with care, and one dedicated to bring out the full potential that we both see in your child every day.

I can't say enough good things about Camp North Star. My daughter was nervous about her first camp experience but Steven and Brooke were amazing. She had an incredible experience and was eager to return the following year. They also went above and beyond to pull off 4 weeks of sleepaway camp during a pandemic. Simply amazing!
