This camp is AMAZING. It is my daughter's happy place and has been from the time she first went with us to family camp. Now she goes every summer and she never knows other children when she shows up. She will give up every other vacation for Camp Augusta. The counselors are extraordinary individuals who are very well trained and the activities are creative and engaging. They do an amazing job every single year!

We made a trek as a family for a weekend camp, and it was fabulous! The energy from all there was infectious.

Just came to give a quick shout out to the chef. The camp and the counselors were amazing but the food was top notch every day. Every meal was prepared with so much thought and care.

Almost 10 year old twin boys had a great time at Camp Augusta's most recent two week session. Lots of great memories, crafts, and they loved the tons of choices each day. It pushed their boundaries and gave them a sense of independence, and best of all, they want to go back!

I really enjoyed my experience here. There are so many activities to choose from daily. The food was absolutely delicious. Hats off to all the kitchen staff for providing such a varied menu over to many days. I had so much fun learning how to use new machines to create glass beads and wooden items. I loved the self reliance and responsibility aspect they promote where everyone is responsible for taking dishes to the cleaning area, taking your own towels and water bottles. Be prepared to turn off your electronics and connect with others!
