My daughter was attacked by another camper. I was NOT notified when it happened. She came home with a bruise on her head from being punched. When I brought it up to administration, I was told the other girl was told not to hit. Both girls were punished by losing an activity even though administration said my daughter did nothing wrong. Plus I was told pictures were going to be taken daily, which they were not. 3 days went by without a picture. Also I was told letters would be written 2x a week. 1 letter was written.
great camp made many friends
1994-2004 best 10 years of my life.
Both of my kids have gone to camp here. One for a couple of years and the other for 6 or 7. They both always had great times. Made a ton of new friends, went on fun trips and got to participate in cool activities. I asked them both and they said they would go back if they could (other summer activities as they have gotten into high school have gotten in the way). FWIW, my younger brother also went here for 15 years - between being a camper and a counselor, so that's gotta count for something too.
I am a camper here and I have been going for about 5 years and both sleep away and day can are amazing. Everybody is really nice and it is always fun. There is this thing like color war called Cherokee Mahawie and I'm a mahawie but they basically have a lot of fun games like capture the flag,lottery,and so much more.
Both of my boys have loved their experience here. It is reasonably well organized and the staff really care and know my boys. Highly recommend.
I have been recommending Camp Half Moon for several years with great success. Campers return from their experience reporting wonderful people, great activities and a beautiful location. The end of a summer session at CHM always brings tears and the promise to return! Well done Camp Half Moon!
