No devices. Lots of outside water time. Can bunk with friends. Teaches you skills.

Newport News, VA
This was my daughter’s second year at Camp Kekoka, and she already can’t wait to go back next summer! She always has so much fun with the wide variety of activities offered, makes friends she keeps in touch with throughout the year, and feels a real sense of community with her fellow campers. I love that the camp provides a safe, active, enjoyable experience at a price that doesn’t break the bank!

Manassas, VA
My daughter loved the camp. She enjoyed the activities and found many friends. She has quirks and felt safe to be herself. I would like to thank the counselors for keeping the kids safe. She told me that a couple of incidents when a boy started to bully her, the counselors took that seriously and it ended immediately. The 2 offending boys did not bother her anymore and behaved properly for the rest of the time she was there.

Gloucester, VA
My son had a great time at camp and looks forward to returning next year! The accommodations for camp were great, the food was awesome, and all of the activities made camp memorable! The staff were also top notch and my son had nothing but good things to say!

Fairfax, VA
Activities, planning, friendliness and professionalism of staff and counselors. Variety of activities. Camper CIT had the BEST time. Staff made this the success it was! Thank you!

Alexandria, VA
She had the very best experience! From having so many activities to chose from, they were always busy. The counselors were supportive and fun, she always felt safe and cared for. She was willing to challenge herself and try new things, from breakdancing, to talent shows, and high rope courses. She came back happy and ready to go again next year despite the 100 degree weather!

Gloucester, VA
My daughter had a blast at camp! She enjoyed the food and the activities. She also felt very safe and free to enjoy herself thanks to the attentive and kind counselors. She is looking forward to joining you all again next year.

Richmond, VA
This was my daughter's first summer at Camp Kekoka. She loved it so much she wants to return next year. I enjoyed the closing ceremony and hearing from the camp director and counselors about all the activities and accomplishments the kids made over the week. This was a highlight of her summer for sure! Won't be forgotten!

Alexandria, VA
This was my son's first-ever sleep away camp. He went with a friend the first year and did the Right of Passage 2 night program and loved it. He's been back every year since for the full week and has just completed his 4th year. I love that he gets traditional summer experiences here (tubing, knee boarding, campfire, fishing) and there's never been a year where he didn't make new friends. He returns home each year more grown up than when I checked him in. I think it feeds his soul.

Glen Allen, VA
My daughter has attended Camp Kekoka for the past 3 summers and always cries when the week is over. It's so much fun she never wants it to end!

Alexandria, VA
My son loved camp! He mad new friends as well as enjoying time with the kids that he attended with and thought it was the best week of his entire summer. I only wish you did two week sessions!

Williamsburg, VA
I had two kids at camp week 6. Both had a fun time with variety of activities and loved the counselors

Fredericksburg, VA
Thank you for an amazing and unforgettable week of camp! We’ve done several overnight camps in the mountains, and they all fell short of our hopes/expectations. This camp is truly a gem - they all want to come back next year.

Suffolk, VA
This is one of the best things my daughter does all summer. A whole week with no electronics, outdoor fun and good friends. She comes back so energized and full of wonderful memories.

Fredericksburg, VA
My kids had a lot of fun; and my daughter, who complains about every camp I put her in, wants to return next year (as long as a friend can come with her)! The price was good compared to other camps. I LOVED how they put photos up for every day of the camp! My kids loved the water sports!

The boys had a wonderful time, they enjoyed the friendships they built, and all the different activities they were involved in. The signing in was easy, and the boys were well taken care of!!

Weems, VA
A great first time camp experience for my son! He had amazing role models of respect, responsibility and fun!

Weems, VA
My boys always make new friends and have a great time. After camp, my 13 year old actually said he didn't miss having his electronics! I think that says it all. Such an important time for kids to unplug and engage!

Kilmarnock, VA
For a first time overnight camper, this was the perfect experience for my son. He had a blast. He learned a lot about himself. I cannot wait for him to go again next year.
