Camp Laurel South

Camp Laurel South is the best! I have 3 girls whom go every year! They love it and we love it! We live in Colorado and send them all the way across the country because we believe there is no better place for them. The facilities are amazing, the amount of activities that are available are endless, the counselors are true friends and mentors to the campers and Roger and Dagni are truly spectacular people and out of this world camp directors. I feel so fortunate that we are able to give our kids this amazing experience year after year and know it will be a highlight of their childhoods!

Camp Laurel South is the most outstanding 4-​week traditional sleep-​away camp. Our oldest just aged out after attending for 7 consecutive summers. The group of friends he made over the years has already had 2 mini-​reunions since returning home just 2 months ago. He has made friends for life from around the world. Our youngest is already counting the days left before next summer, which will be his 5^th consecutive summer.
The camp itself is spectacular. It’s on a picturesque lake. The choices for activities are endless and include: sailing, water skiing, kayaking, archery, rocket making, gymnastics, cooking, drawing, swimming, fishing, tennis, soccer, baseball, and so many more. The grounds are beautifully maintained.
Roger and Dagni take care of each child as though s/​he was one of their own. Because the camp has such a stellar reputation, Roger and Dagni have their pick of counselors to hire. The counselors are excellent with kids, have extensive knowledge and experience with their skills, and come from all over the globe. Many work as coaches at schools during the school year.
Our kids rave about the food and constantly tell us that we need to get the recipes from camp. There are chaperoned flights from many major US cities making travel to/​from camp worry-​free for parents. We also love that the camp offers 2 independent, 4-​week sessions. The campers start and end each session with the same group of kids. The consistency of having the same kids at camp from start to finish has allowed our kids to form strong friendships and really feel part of the Laurel South family. If only adults could be campers!

Camp Laurel South has been an amazing camp for my boys for 7 years! From the friends they have made, amazing staff and facilities– I am happy to call this their second home. Roger and Dagni make all of the children feel special and really connect with each of them.
The facilities are beautiful-​right on the lake so you don’t have to drive anywhere for waterfront activities. The fields are all very well kept. The staff each summer is great-​they work very hard and keep the kids fully engaged in all of the different programming. The food is absolutely delicious-​there is a great variety of choices at every meal and they are constantly expanding and changing from year to year.
I would highly recommend Laurel South to anyone looking for a 4 week camping option!
