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.
