Northbay Adventures Reviews

I went there as a 5-day field trip in 5th grade. It was awesome. Best week of my entire life. It was also the first time I went on a ropes course, giant swing and a zip line! I also got a sick hoodie. The whole trip costed $205 dollars ($175 for the trip, $25 for the hoodie and $5 for the ice cream), but it's worth the money. And my educator was cool, but the cabin coach (Mr. Cody, who is awesome), was even cooler. We played games like Uno, Bullcrap (search bullcrap card game for more info), and more. One of the coolest parts was that I got to hang out with my friends. If I could give more than 5 stars for a review, I would. Definitely going there again some day.

The most amazing place ever. The food was great, 4/5. The adventure activities (zipline, ropes course, rock climbing, and the giant swing) were the best ever, 5/5 and the classes were very interesting and fun, 5/5. I learned more about the world than any week I would have had in school. Thanks North Bay!

Big theatre to watch Zootopia and very nice scenery here

I love this place it's super fun for the whole family they have so much to do

Awesome, and absolutely fun place although i wish it was accessible outside of school supervision but 5 stars hands down

Me and my daughter had a good time with Northbay. The counselor I had Ms. Alisa was a great help with the girls always had a bright attitude. I would definitely recommend Northbay because it gives the children a different outlook on life.

much stuff you can experience, after the day there's still one thing happening, breathtaking zipline view, i went and the time you spend there you will not regret it go at any cost, well thats what i think

This is my first time at NorthBay Adventure Camp and the staff is on point with EVERTHING from teaching, feeding and most of all patients when it comes to dealing with over 300 kids at time. Can you say Organized.

I am going next month hope to see everyone that's coming !!!

I went in the spring 2016 so I feel like it would be better in summer. North bay was all in all good, but a few cons.
Pros:
Good food
Nice staff mostly
Learned
Horse shoe point was fun
Staff would play games with you and acted like a friend
North bay live was fun
Nice hikes
We got fed enough
Nice beach
Boat ride was fun
Awesome ice cream
The store wasn't expensive or the trip in general
They give dessert !!!!!
Cons:
Camp counselor had us up too late
They should let kids with doctor orders get needs faster because I had a doctor tell me to drink lots of fluids and I had to wait hours to fill up my cup durring a game
The lady at the fossil center wasn't too nice
We only got to play in the gym once maybe add in a bit more gym time
My friend had allergies and no paper signed for medication, so she had to go back outside and get her allergies worse. They should have let her stay in for a bit until we left the beach (where her allergies began)
This isn't really a con, but you should add in claw machines to the game room. It would bring in a lot more cash and it would be really fun!

CABINS ARE GREAT. FOOD IS EXPERTLY GREAT.... SOOOO GREAT

I love north bay so much there are so many activities and everything is amazing

In in 6 th grade rising Sun I was just there 2-3 days ago best time ever. KEEP IT UP:D

I love this place! Amazing food, amazing cabins. Extraordinary view from the giant swing. Amazing lounge area. When I went I had a fall retreat called Life of the Party, it was stellar!

Went as chaperone for Monarchy Academy 6th grade class. It was an adventure of a lifetime for my son & for me. The staff, food, and learning was great. Great job NorthBay

If i could rate 100 stars i would North bay is the best from the cabins the the staff i been going since the 6th grade and been going ever year if you can go then go best experience every

Ohh I love this place :))
I came to NorthBay Adventure camp for a week long Field Trip! Best week of my life :D
The staff was great and lemme just tell you the food they serve is amazing ;3
The actives and outdoor classrooms were so fun! Also, I liked the store at horseshoe point! A lot of nice things to buy. The cabins are nice and cozy and mine was Duneside 17 :)) (hehe my cabin won the challenge were the cabin was the most cleanest we got to go to horseshoe point and eat marshmallows at the camp fire with another cabin from the other side) The beach near by was beautiful and NorthBay live was the best!!
10/10 would go again :)

P.s tell Miss Lisa Emily Diaz from Thomas S. Stone said hello :)

Outdoor ed at NorthBay was REALLY fun!! I really suggest going :)

Love it my $chool is carole highlands can we go back to NorthBay

I rate 5 star even tho I couldn't go on the fied trip ;-;

I went when I was in 5th grade I had a lot of fun there

The food wasn't that good dinner was good and that's really it. I went there with me school and the basketball court was good but there was kids trying to stick sticks up people's butts. All the drinks were watered down it wasn't worth 300+ dollars.

My son said he had a wonderful time and he got to meet a lot of great new people

Very good place for meetings, training and outdoor activities in the same time for a group of people or employees. Also, close to a nice small town for group diners and brunches.

North Bay was amazing! The food was great, my educator was great(P.S My educator was Mr.Cory),and the swing was the best! North Bay Live is the only concert like thing I've ever enjoyed!Overall it was amazing!

jamneshaferguson cabin girls-8 i went there i went on the giant swimg and i although did not get to go on the zipline because it was dinner time p.s went there 15 days ago

Great place Chesapeake bay views good activities I have been coming since 6th grade it was my 3rd and last year but food is good friendly servers especially Bruce and Katie they both have the cheese but hmu if you see this Bruce my ig is @ obx_austin definitely worth coming there s something for everyone

Staff is horrible. Food and cabins are okay. The lessons are pretty boring but some of the activities and North Bay Live are
pretty fun.

It was fun, but I did not like the food and the microwave kept overheating. It overheated 3/4 times I tried to use it.

Just got back was fun and cabin beds were not great. But everything else was good had a good time

Went as chaperone for LMS 6th grade class. It was an adventure of a lifetime for my daughter & for me. Loved staff, food, learning. Great job NorthBay!

I LOVED THIS EXPERIENCE EVERYONE DESERVES TO COME HERE!!! I WENT DEC 2ND 2019!

It was ok. I didn't really like it but hey, I liked the sunset~

Only the best fun for kids and theirs families. I came here and I was suprised about the things I would do without me phone. It's got everything.

I went to Nb this year it was really fun but we got bee and rain week .

North Bay in fun.That's coming from a student that goes to Dodge Park Elementary School.take my advice other kids at other schools should go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Northbaywas very fun to be at with me.mike and the crew

I've taken my 6th graders for 4 years now. I LOVE this camp and everything that they teach the students! The instructors and staff are phenomenal! The students learn so much about helping our planet and just being well round individuals. I wish that all 6th graders could have the NorthBay experience!

It lit ,I loved it the staff were amazingly nice ,food was good too I miss every memory of it

Great camp. Well layed out, lots of space and activities. Friendly staff, good food! What more can you ask for ? Have been to several retreats here with lots of kids, and I always look forward to going back.

Well i never been here but i am about to go in December 14 and coming back in the 18 it seems fun and I think i like it ;D ;D ;D ;3.

My family and I visited Northbay in July. We absolutely loved all of the outdoor activities they had available. We loved it so much that we went back in August. The second time was even more adventurous than the first. The kids enjoyed swimming, tubing, rock climbing and the bonfire at night where they got to make s mores.
Overall, our experience there was great. We will have to make it an annual trip. It s a great way to enjoy family time while maintaining a respectable distance from others as there were only a couple of families there at a time. The staff was super friendly and attentive to our needs. Can t wait to plan next years trip.

Haven't been here in 12 years back when I was 13 years old (I'm now 25 y/o) in middle school but probably one of the most amazing experiences in my life. Spending an entire week here during the school year and away from the lifestyle in Baltimore City was a newfound experience that many, if not, all kids from Baltimore should take sometime in their lifetime. Become connected with nature and be free to be adventurous away from the dilapidated city life.

Again, it has been ten years since that journey but I am happy it's still thriving and much of everything is still the same for fond memories.

North bay is great i was there quite recently the food is great the cabins are great sadly im just to emotional and left half way threw the second day sense lighting nearly struck the cafeteria building the place is wonderful if you get lucky with the weather and the people in your cabin the wasps were annoying but i did get to see several different animals especially net fishing even seeing a stick bug the first time in my life and 2 super cool looking Caterpillars its a great place you just gotta be a bit lucky and i was paired with terrible kids who fed the small fish to the big fish

Great people, memories, and fun is all I got here.
Good Food
Great Staff
Inspiring Moments
Fun Activities
Medium Sized Pool
Zip-Lines
Massive 3 Seater Swing
Tubing
Challenges For Example, Would You Rather
Over All Great Fun

My granddaughter was there from NEMS and really enjoyed it. She said they should go 2 to 3 times a school year. Mackenzenie stated it was a learning experience and she met new friends

I remember being a kid in 8th grade going into high school. I can honestly say this was a great kid Experience not doubt about it. A place I ll never forget and definitely recommend.

Camp counselors stay lurking in your room and give you no space! They made us do work while there. At the end of the night you are forced to sit on the floor and and listen to life lessons. They take you to a place in nature and make you sit down and share your problems with the other kids. They make you talk about your "invasive species in your life". I find that weird. The counselors made us stay up too late just to talk about our issues. It is camp, not a therapy camp. They say " when you leave north bay , you will change." If you want tos end your kid to a therapy camp go here. The photographs are from not BCPS schools. BSPS isn't aloud to go on a swing or anything. The store wasn't a regular store at all because they treat you like children instead of costumers. They limit kids a and etc. You do get to play in gym once at the end, but the rest in just a therapy session.

I haven't been to North Bay since 2006 but, honestly this is a life changing event, resort, adventurous camp, and experience. I believe if a child is molded correctly they will enjoy North Bay; I've never been to an establishment that makes me remember 14 years ago. Unforgettable and Irreplaceable; I love you guys

I went to Northbay like three years ago for school trip, it was free of cost but I saw someone in the reviews say it was $300 for them, I thought it was really cool and definitely something I'd wanna do again.

well I didn't go there yet but Ik its goin to be excellent there im goin may 13 2013 imam have so much fun u should cum also

When I went for my 6th grade outdoor ED. I was so amazed at how much they taught me and how many fun "end-of-day" activity we got to do. The only thing I found wrong was how long each class was, for me each class was around 2 hours.

amazing place it's so cool and I loved learning about nature there

First of all, the staff are very nice and fun. There are so many fun activities, including a GIGANTIC(50 ft?!) swing, rope adventure course, rock climbing, Gaga, kayaking, canoeing, zip-lining, and MUCH more. The food there varies. Sometimes, it's really good and plentiful, while other times it's not as good and plentiful. Plus, the cabins are clean roomy, and pretty luxurious. Finally, Northbay live is one of the best shows that I have ever seen. It's probably better than a Taylor Swift concert! Overall, I would give this camp 5 stars because it's still pretty awesome, even though they HARSHLY segregate the boys and girls for "security reasons".

So far from the pics i like it im going this year with Dr.Carter.G.Woodson elementary middle school im in the 7th grade and hope i like when i get there.

Awesome and scenic spot. Went one year in the winter and the bay was frozen over. Absolutely surreal.

love this camp love north bay forever it so awsome please go

Loved the food. The No Limits Foundation really worked with the camp to make this the best place to go.

Good food and desert
Better than other schools

I loved it when I went there as a kid there is so much to do there

I was thrilled with most of my experiecnce for a week at North Bay. I loved staying in Bohemia 15 and the beds were quite confortable! I did not really like the cleanliness of the showers though. The giant swing was amazing seeing the view from that high up was great. I loved all the activeites zipline,swing,ropes,kyaking and more.
The food was exceptional I did not really like the taco meat but most of the meals were ok. I really liked the gaga pit and the gym was pretty fun. I would have liked the ropes course more if we took the short route then the longer route if felt as it was too short. I also did not like how long the classes were, you had one morning class and one afternoon class. North Bay live was ok. I really liked the movie toobie and all the perspectives it was in. It was overall a ok experience i also felt as if art class was a bit boring as well as the tree lesson. I am glad i got to spend my week at north bay!

Ps:You can watch tooobie online

Great place for students to learn about the environment, team building, problem solving and effective recycling methods.

im so excited to go. i will be going soon. im Hey so excited, i will post my review when i get back. so excited.

Great place, friendly Staff, good time, fun educational experiences and kids get to do and see things that they otherwise wouldn't get to do for a week. LOVED and LOVE the place. Was there last year 2017 going again this year 2018.

The staff were very rude and the food was okay I didn't enjoy it as much so i would give it a 3/10 or a 2/10

We were able to bring our boys (ages 13 and 8) to NorthBay s Family Camp. The entire family had a great time. There were a lot of outdoor activities to choose from. We were able to go swimming, zip-lining, tubing and ride a big swing. The fun didn t end there. Our boys had a ball with the indoor activities also. They played in the game room, did rock climbing, basketball and even got to pet and learn about a snake. There were a few other families there at the same time, however we had no problems being socially distant. All staff wore masks and were super helpful through our visit. We will be gong back before the end of the summer!!

Hi I haven t gone yet but I ll be going soon can t wait

I have not gone yet but I can't wait literally, I know I am going to have fun and one of my best friends going with me to. I have heard from other campers you have great food and a snack bar I am super excited to experience northbay

Went here last year. The food wasn't that great, but overall pretty good experience. I think that they should not separate the boys and girls as much as they do. It makes sense to separate the boys and girls cabins, but they shouldn't have to separate them during meals and evening activities.

Came here for 6th Grade Outdoor Education in 2010, and I loved it! Food was great, recreational activities were awesome, and the staff were cool there!

Coming here as a middle schooler back in 2012, I liked he trip. The work and the classes got to be annoying but they were overall tolerable. But then throughout the week I noticed that the boys side of the dining hall was getting yelled at a lot, being told to be quiet or as they say it a hush fell over the crowd a lot more than the girls side. I then noticed that the girls got ice cream every day and rarely did anything lesson related or work related. While the boys did activities on composting the. Girls when canoeing, while the girls got on the zip line and the swing, the boys were doing lessons about spiders and the ecosystem. Overall there were some activities that were enjoyable but in my opinion, NorthBay is sexist against boys for whatever reason. Therefore, NorthBay is a great place to send your daughter as she will enjoy it more than a boy would.

This week has been a great experience I never came as a kid but as a parent / chaperone I enjoyed see the kids Interact and I enjoyed meeting the staff and other parents. I am glad I got to be here and was able to help out

I liked North Bay a lot. Their food was pretty good. The cabins were nice and clean. The bathrooms kind of needed a little more privacy, but it was okay. The activities were amazing and classes were adventurous and fun. And North Bay Live, such an amazing show and hype. I will definitely take my kids here when I get older.

I went to this canp for 5 days it was AWESOME.I'd love to comeback I went on the zipline the threesome swing and ropescourse the staff is amazing the food DESERRT.especially.NORTHBAY LIVE

I had a wonderful time at the North Bay camp i learned a lot and felt apart of the North Bay family and community.

I received a call about my child having a fever and was told that I need to come pick her up. I explained that I was told in the case of a child being sick that they would be given medicine. The nurse by the name of Rhonda explained to me that she did give my child medicine and what her fever went down. She then told me that she would have to stay away from everyone else and be confined in a room for the rest of the time there. I m upset because I left my child in the care of her school and not the employees there especially after hours. When I talked to my daughter she told me that she was in the room with an 8th grade boy. I did not understand this because I thought the boys and girls were kept separated. Rhonda had a nasty attitude and my child told me that she was talking about me saying that s what she gets for being nice. This was very unprofessional to me and I am very disappointed.

the food needs improvement, the camp is fun though.

My review is as a parent. I have a daughter working there on work crew. I think this is a wonderful experience however I also feel there should be better communication. My daughter has been sick for over a week. Because of the cell phone policy I have been unable to check in on her. I have left voicemails with the health center and they have gone unanswered.
