Great community institution with plenty of offerings to keep everyone healthy and engaged!

The Sterling Woods Camp is absolutely fantastic! This was my son’s first year, and he had an absolute blast thanks to the amazing counselors, fun activities, and thoughtful program. He had a rough start when another camper’s behavior made him upset and nervous, but Jimmy immediately stepped in, supported my son through the situation, and helped him feel safe so he could get back to enjoying camp. What really stood out was that Jimmy continued to check in with him throughout the week, making sure he was having fun and feeling comfortable. That kind of care and attention made all the difference. Thank you for giving my son such a great summer!

My son has attended for 7 years and he loves it. He loves returning to the counselors and swimming...of course! As a mom, I love knowing he is having fun in a safe place filled with caring staff, exploring activities he would otherwise not be able to experience. The specialists at the camp are amazing at helping kids with a variety of needs. We are truly fortunate to have such a nurturing camp in our community.

Everyone is so involved in ensuring good structure and making it fun! The staff have been awesome! Jimmy has been on top of making sure our daughter is comfortable! I know she is safe while at camp and away from us. Will definitely be attending Summer 2026!

Through the really hot days, and the rainy ones my daughter has had a blast at Sterling Woods!

Adventure. The outdoors. And so much physical activity! Camp is definitely too much for some kids that lack the endurance, but for children like my daughter who’s body craves physical exertion that I cannot always keep up with or occupy- she had a great time! She’s already requesting to be signed up for more than the 4 or 5 weeks she had this summer!

The Hogwarts camp had a lot of variety, great counselors, my daughter had a fun time. If anything she wishes it was more than one week! From my daughter: "it was really creative, and a lot of fun. The way that they had us do quidditch, I loved that part."

My kids had fun at Gymnastics camp! It was an affordable price. Loralee is awesome!

My daughter had opportunities to have hands on experiences, challenges, and earn trade in tickets based on positive actions she played a part in! Away from the electronics and out in the elements the staff made a memorable experience, which is NOT an easy feat with preteens-teens! When swim became too simple, repetitive, or routine the life guards came up with challenges to make it fun to meet certain goals and earn stickers, staff handed out tickets based on core values that allows my child the opportunity to trade in and have autonomy, the ropes course staff encouraged her to literal new heights and let her experience risk taking and problem solving with safety at the forefront! Did she leave camp some days looking unhappy? Sure. But all of that would turn around with a little time in the ac and a snack, then the flood gates of stories, fun, and excitement would pour out! My daughter wishes the summer was longer just to have more time at camp with the friends she made, the staff she felt so connected with, and all the way up to leadership she felt comfortable to advocate for anything she needed. Thank you for an amazing experience!

We've loved our time at sterling woods! One thing I wish they did was extend camp all through next week since Beverly doesn't go back to school until the 2nd. There's only camp Monday and Tuesday, but kids still have w-Friday off. I'm a teacher in another district and we go back earlier, so I've been scrambling to find somewhere for him to finish the week at!

The summer camp was absolutely wonderful! My daughter loved every moment and came home happy and full of stories every day. The staff was caring, the activities were fun, and it was such a safe and positive environment. A 10/10 experience — we can’t wait for next summer!

I have recommended an excellent class to five friends that Lee Ran last fall and this spring, I’ve told three women about the new pool, the machines and the availability of trainers. Personally, I like the large assortment of machines the supportive, staff, and the variety of classes…. The atmosphere is easy-going, and most members are cordial and polite.
