Kidcam Summer Camp @ Oak Mountain

"Kidcam Summer Camp at Oak Mountain State Park was an absolute blast for my 5-year-old! From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us with warmth and enthusiasm, setting the tone for an unforgettable summer adventure. The range of activities was incredible - from nature walks to arts and crafts, my child was constantly engaged and excited. The counselors were attentive and nurturing, ensuring every child felt included and supported. Safety was clearly a top priority, which gave me peace of mind throughout the day. My little one came home each day bubbling with stories of new friends made and exciting experiences had. We can't wait to return next summer for another round of fun at Kidcam Summer Camp!"

"Love Kidcam Oak Mountain! The bus transportation is ideal when you need a quick drop-off while heading to work. The kids love this camp, their weekly programming/themes and daily swimming. Highly recommend if you are in the Pelham or surrounding area!"

"Do not send your 5 year old here. I sent my son, hoping he would have fun and get some independence. He got independent alright! They did not watch after him. He lost something everyday and it was big things that a counselor should notice if they were indeed watching the children. Every time I picked him up he was not being watched by any adult. All the adults were walking around talking to each other. One day he was walking around in the parking lot by himself when I picked him up. He was punched multiple times by a big kid. They don’t take any pictures even during the special activities but lied and said it was on the fb page. They haven’t posted on their in a whole year. They charge a lot to join the camp but then charge for every little thing each day. They say there’s fishing but forget to tell you there is no fishing until Aftercare which is dumb. They broke my son’s brand new fishing pole and gave it back that way. They allowed him to get the sharp hook out and cut himself and lose it. If you send your child, just know they are out there on their own. I gave it a 2 because he did have fun as much as he could. Kids love unstructured stuff."

"Good Program) When entering into the camp program it appeared the kids enjoyed themselves and I didn’t have a complaint at the time. I am not sure of all the counselor ages “middle school” or if they’re experienced with children, and that is important. My 5 year old had to have an incident report documented due getting the counselor attention by tapping or touching her hip or bottom. I did not agree with that. I recommend the counselors are experienced with children, and know the ways of an adolescent. I would recommend only if the counselors are experienced or able to shadow experienced head counselors."

"If I could give zero stars I would. My kids attended the camp in Kennesaw, Ga and probably the worst experience ever. My kids are seasoned with going to camps, for years I have rotated them around various camps each week every summer for a variety. If really enjoy one, send them there for a couple of weeks. This camp, after day one, my kids were begging me to not make them go back. They said counselors yell non stop, withhold activities from kids doing it (that we paid for them to be doing), they used scare tactics and threats if miss behaving. My kid said he was so terrified I was going to be mad at him if he did anything as the counselors kept threatening to call parents, telling them your parents are going to be mad at them as they will get kicked out of camp. They were punished from participating in activities based on the kids behavior from the previous week!! They weren’t even there. They said they had to sit with their heads down on tables for long periods of time and again entire group had to even if they were not apart of the problem. Then the worst part is they made the kids pick up trash in the morning from the fields after the University students had been using the field the night before. I am all for kids cleaning up their messes but they should do it at end of their day not next day after college kids trashed it. They were forced to pick up used mouth guards!!! With no gloves ! My kids felt like they were at a prison camp. I even pulled them out early. Will not be back and encourage others to not send their kids either."
