Camp Blue Ridge

Pros: Tons of activities, activities chosen every 3 days, teen trips, nice people
Cons: none

I have been attending this camp for SIX years. It is a sleep away camp that campers can go for 4 or 8 weeks. There are over 40 activities that the campers can do.

The activities are:
Basketball, Climbing, Water Skiing, Drama, Tennis,...

Pros: Great children, good food,
Cons: Staff, living conditions

I worked at this Summer Camp last summer (2004) and although I had a wonderful experience and loved my children... many of the counselors weren't much older then some of the campers. Underage counselors would go off on their days and nights off and smoke ...

Pros: NONE
Cons: EVERYTHING

After my first night at this camp I woke up with bug bites everywhere. My bites even had bites! There were some kind of evil little bloodsucking insects that were living in the mattresses and they would attack you in your sleep. I must have been drained of 5 pints of blood that first week alone. The food was horrible. There never was much of a selection and what was there tasted awful. Also, apparently these people like to drink Kool-Aid for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Good luck finding a coke or tea at this place! The swimming pool isn't big enough for a midget to fart in! I've seen bigger pools in Alabama trailer parks. The tennis court has cracks everywhere. There are poisonous water moccasins in the lakes at camp and they are often dispatched by way of shotgun blasts which can be heard throughout camp. Luckily, none of the kids were bitten while I was there, but this is always an ongoing danger! There are much better camps than this nearby. AVOID!
