Reviews of American Youth Foundation- Merrowvista
"Wonderful experience for the kids. The staff did a great job connecting with the students. They provided a safe way for all ability levels to expand confidence and their comfort zones. The food was very good."
"This first 1-week overnight camp for my daughter (summer between 3rd and 4th grade) was amazing. They had a horrible weather week and yet the experience was still transformative for my girl who can be sky and slow to warm up (once she is, she is very extroverted.) At the end the parents are invited to a closing ceremony that is inspiring and demonstrates the values and experience of your child’s camp experience. Some helpful details: -You can request friends pairing up in cabins. -The kids said the food was wonderful with a wide ranging selection of very tasty and healthy food options—the staff in the kitchen are wonderful. -There are high standards for counselors who they train well to motivate and inspire your children. -Write all your letters before drop off and then you can leave them in the office by date and your child will get a letter every day! -We bought and brought mosquito netting but I am not sure we will both. The cabins have screens and it did not seem to be an issue. -No aerosol can allowed so stock up on bug spray and sunscreen with a squirt top or lotion."
"I went to the camp for a sixth grade field trip in 2017 and it was literally so much fun! The food was good, the councilors was nice and fun and I loved the actives. I really wanna come back over the summer but it’s expensive:("
"I used to go as a camper, and both of my daughters go. everybody is so respectful, kind, and willing to help you. the food is great, the trips are challenging yet fun, and the counselors are beyond kind and helpful, and the campers are accepting. there are activities all day for the campers, and for the kids on trips they are in the best hands from their counselors. definitely a 5 star camp; I'd 100% recommend it!"
"I have been through 4 years of this camp ('13, '14, 15, and '16) and the first 2 years were the highlight of my summer. I LOVED the community and the energetic staff that made it all possible. The overnight was fun and the interest groups were enriching. I was thrown in the gardening interest group which nobody, including me, wanted to do, but it taught me a lot about plants and making homemade dishes and I ended up loving it! After that it pretty much went downhill for me. Merrowvista '15 was an experience I never want to re-live. I was belittled constantly by my cabinmates and even had one draw a middle finger by my signature on the bed I slept in. I told the head of the camp twice and she did nothing about any of it. Also, on our four-day-long hike, we were given a very small amount of food that was somehow supposed to last us the whole hike. For one dinner, we got a bag of pasta, butter, and cheese. Try sharing a bag of pasta with 13 teens and 2 counselors. It doesn't work. We were even put in situations where the leaders had to give up their food so that the campers could eat. It really wasn't well planned. The canoe trip was fun, except for the fact that I got a very toxic partner in my canoe. The food was adequate, though, and we were trained in handling a canoe by the staff. The trip destinations themselves were ok, but the whole experience was ruined by toxic cabinmates and the administration not taking action to help me. '16 wasn't much better. I wasn't being constantly bullied anymore, but others were. Two of my cabinmates went into a younger cabin and sprayed bug spray all over their kids. The bike trip was fun overall, but the route was not. I was put into situations where I was put on a busy road with no shoulders. I was nearly forced off the road and down a hill by a driver who went slightly into the shoulder, which was only slightly wider than my bike. There is no room for error on the biker or driver's end, and going through can be dangerous for that reason. The hike sent us through a trail where there is waist-deep mud and only two planks to navigate your way over it. We were fortunate not to have anyone fall in, but the girl cabin wasn't so lucky. Based on the experiences from the last 2 years, this is not something I want to do over. I am not going back this year because of the toxic community and poor trails."
