YMCA Camp Coniston Review

Wonderful place that gives children lifelong skills and memories!

**Went to camp for 13 years**
Camp Coniston has had immense influence on my life, and has morphed me into the versatile adult I am today! A definite recommendation!

Best place on the earth! Is there a way to give more stars?

A place with an amazing atmosphere. My second home abroad. Great people who make amazing place and change the world for the better. I recommend to everyone! <3

I have made some of my best friends here and some of my best times

3 year camper, kids going 6 years. Best summer camp ever.

The place that has shaped me into the person I am today. Cannot thank Coniston enough for all of the amazing summer memories. My favorite place in the world, and a place I call home. Would recommend to all!

I came here as a camper in 1990 (still have the yearbook to prove it). They are closed to normal camping this year because of the pandemic but are offering free community days by reservation. The camp is employing the older staff (20 somethings) and lots of great activities are being offered for free (paddle boarding, kayaking, tennis, basketball, swimming, tie dye shirt making, s'mores, and more. It's a great thing they are doing for the community. If you come out for a day of fun, make sure to buy a souvenir in the store; help support this great camp. The staff is very friendly and great to talk to. We'll be coming here lots more this summer.

Wonderful place that allows for great friendships, fantastic growth, and incredible memories. Would recommend to anyone.

Excellent camp with loads of activities ranging from Paddle boarding, Sailing, Canoeing, Tennis, Horseback riding and week long Adventure speciality camps like rock climbing and sea kayaking in Acadia National Park. Not as many frills as some other camps, but excellent value for all that is offered! Our daughter was excited to attend, sad to leave & can't wait to go back next summer!

I've gone to Camp Conistion for the past two years and it's the best. Everyone is always dancing, singing, laughing, smiling, the whole thing. Leaving camp at the end of the session had everyone in tears because no one wants to leave! Cannot wait to go back next year.

Can't say anything bad about my favorite place in the world. Great people, great memories, great place. Also I live for grilled cheese day. If I could give Coniston more stars I would. No doubt deserving of 5 stars

This camp is amazing. I always feel like I can be myself. The program areas are amazing, and have a fun different "lesson" plan each day. There is a perfect amount of time for free time, and there are a ton of things to do or you can sit on main lawn or write a letter home. The food is amazing- seriously, grilled cheese day. There are also fun evening programs we do before bed and after free time. The counselors are kind and fun to be around! Camp Coniston is amazing and you should send your kids there!

Beautiful, well equipped, and staff are friendly and yet polite! Thank you Coniston!!

Program areas do not start until about 15 minutes into the class. Ridiculous. Campers end up with less time doing each program activities because of things called "attendance questions" which tired counselors drag on for sometimes even half the class. So unfair and so unprofessional.

Everyone and everything at camp is working to make campers' experiences the best they can be. I loved being there for ten years and cannot imagine who I would be without Camp Coniston.

Love this place. So sad I can't go back this summer
