Testimonials

This is a wonderful camp with very committed and enthusiastic counselors, in a wonderful location on Walker Pond. Unlike snooty and expensive camps that provide too much to children, this is an unpretentious environment that teaches respect for self, others and nature.

Through camp I gained life skills, wonderful friends, and most importantly, I gained a better understanding of who I am and who I am meant to be. I feel that I have vastly grown as an individual in the past two years. I have more confidence, I am more outgoing, and I am many more things.

I have fond memories of all participants in the Adventure program that shared in the many camp fire cooking experiences and exploring the local environs and soaking up the stunning beauty of Walker Pond and its unique experiences and natural attractions.

I don’t think anyone could ever understand what Nichols Day Camps means to me. I have had the privilege of being a part of the Nichols staff for two summers of my life and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

There is no better testimonial than a child’s beaming face and that’s what my grandson, 8 years old, had every day he came home from his first summer at Nichols Day Camps. He loved his counselors, made friends, and generally had a blast swimming and playing sports, the things he most enjoys doing. The camp is run efficiently and safely, in a beautiful setting on Walker Pond, with lots of choices in activities rain or shine, and is a real bargain for the happy summers it provides. Sincere thanks to all involved for making my grandson’s summer so wonderful – he wants to come back every year now.
