Wes loves coming here every year. He's graduated from Counselor-In-Training to being a Junior Counselor and is looking forward to trying on this new experience next year. He loves this camp so much he's sad to come home! And, during the year, his bunk and campmates have kept in touch via group chats. I love the close-knit environment and laid-back attitudes (mixed with just enough structure / safety). It really has helped the kids gain confidence and leadership! Thank you counselors, staff and volunteers! 10/10!!!

As soon as we pick up the kids they are already talking about coming back next year. They have a great time every summer.

My son always has an amazing time when he comes to the overnight camp. Everybody is very friendly respectful and make sure you get what you need and make sure your son or daughter is taken care of every time.

My daughter loved the staff and all the activities. The facilities are more than anything I had at camp as a kid.

My daughter returned to Camp Kekoka for her third year, and her first year as a CIT. She had an absolute blast, and can’t wait to go back again. She will have to be a CIT again next year because of where her birthday falls, but she is already planning how to make it great in hopes of landing a role as a junior counselor!

This was my son’s first time staying anywhere overnight and if that he stayed a whole week with no phone calls home no cell phone, no electronics no nothing. He had a blast. He came home talking about it and he also said he was going back next year, the staff is so friendly and kind and I would recommend this 10 out of 10.

The child returned absolutely happy, feeling that was an important part of the team, whose impact was evaluated fairly.

Everyone is sincerely kind.

My daughter has been going for 5 years. She loves the facilities, the staff, the activities, making new friends. This year she learned a new game, Piles, and we already had to go buy it for home!

Spotsylvania, VA
I love going to this camp every year because, the counselor are humorous and show empathy to all of the campers. I love having the camp on a waterfront property because we get to do water sports and tubing. We do so many activities there; there is never a part of the day you are doing nothing except siesta when it is calm down time, (you don't really calm down in our cabin). I wish we could have more time on the water. I love this camp!

Fredericksburg, VA
The mentorship, bonding with other kids. The array of activities - the pictures with faces of joy. The safety, guidelines and protocol displayed by your trained staff. I truly like the concept of having them do chores….absolutely a terrific idea. Ours will be back!

Williamsburg, VA

Fairfax, VA
Having a ton of activities available but not being forced into any particular activities. Also liked that they got to interact with the other kids their from different groups (siblings)

Alexandria, VA
The accountability given to the children through the bead system, the organization and variety of the activities, and the information provided during the registration and pre-camp process. My children wish they could stay longer!

Lancaster, VA
Lots of fun, friendship, and kindness in a beautiful setting. Our son is looking forward to coming back for a fifth summer next year.

Fort Myers, FL
My daughter enjoyed camp. She had great things to say about the counselors, the water sports, cooking classes, and the food. Thanks for offering a great week escape from technology.

Hampstead, IN
We love Camp Kekoka. The staff is always fantastic, my child always has an amazing time, and there are so many activities. We even moved further away from camp, but our child loves this one so much that we made getting him there and back work. I can't recommend Camp Kekoka enough.

Purcellville, VA
My son had an amazing week at camp. First thing he said when we picked him up was if he could do 2 weeks next year. Loved all the pictures and the many activities to keep them busy.
