Gold Arrow Camp

Our son was a first year camper at 9 years old and had the time of his life. His counselors and the staff were all very energetic, positive and highly communicative when he was in session and when we arrived to pick him up. The activities of boating, sailing, camp outs on an island at Schaver lake, archery, rifles, ceramics, horses and waterskiing all had our child enthused and he lived it all. If you’re looking for a great place to send a child for a two week co-​ed session look no further than GAC as we have a child that had a very positive experience.

I agree with much of Barry’s post but I’d like to add that this Is really a top-​notch, high quality camp. My 12 yo son went also for first time last yr and is back this year for three weeks. Besides having an enormous variety of activities (esp ones most kids cant/won’t do at home) and a phenomenally gorgeous environment at Huntington Lake in the High Sierras, this camp and its administration are a first class operation. The counselors and staff are well trained, personable and warm. Communication is well organized and thorough. My dau goes to a different, similarly priced camp, and I feel Gold Arrow is undeniably superior. Without a doubt GAC has exceeded my expectations as well those of my son.

At least that is the one-​liner my 10yo keeps saying.
He went there for a 2-​week sleepover this summer.
Twas his very first stint staying at an overnight camp.
He enjoyed it so much, that he wants to ret’n for 1mo!
From what he tells me, he likes the variety of activities:
archery, hi-​ropes, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding,
sailing, riflery, ziplining, hiking, backpacking, waterskiing,
wake boarding, mountain climbing, camping, art & crafts.
The bus picks up the kids at the Cheviot Hills Rec Center.
Then you do not see nor speak with them until they return.
The only correspondence permitted is via email or USPost.
They also post daily picks of the kids at play to the web site.
Twas a great way to help build a kid’s sense of independence.
That was my motivation to send mine here. We’re both happy.
I only had marbles and a fishing pole when I was in camp! (lol)
