Member Testimonials
My daughter enjoyed the diversity of activities, including that there are some water and some land based. She also liked that many are optional, so there is a lot of customization. She truly enjoyed rock climbing and the giant slide.
My daughter loves everything about Watia from the counselors to the facilities to activities. What a beautiful gift to be in nature sharing experiences with other kids her age.
My daughter got involved in things she normally wouldn't. You all made it fun for her
our son enjoys the relationship he has with the counselors. He thinks they are kind, supportive, funny, and fun. He feels good about the community that is created in his cabin and at camp in general. The songs and traditions make the week feel very special. He really appreciates the cafeteria and all of the activities that are offered. what’s more, the setting is gorgeous.
My kids love it! Clean camp on top of a mountain. Cannot get better
This is our 8th year for our kids attending camp Watia. It’s like family and we love that everyone remembers them from all the years before.
The confidence and independence it instills in my kiddo!
Our son has attended summer camp at Watia twice now and he has so many great stories to tell us about his experience. Especially loves the activities on the lake and the opportunity to learn bow and arrow.
Registration is easy and from the moment campers arrive, I have no worries about the care of my child. He always comes home ready to return to camp.
The staff are great, lots of amazing activities and the grounds and buildings are well cared for. It was our camper's first overnight camp and she was very nervous. She had a great time and the staff made her feel welcomed. She'll be coming back every year!
I appreciate the small camper to staff ratio, the developmentally appropriate activities available at different ages. And, perhaps most importantly, the emphasis on integrity and kindness.
Our son really enjoyed paddle boarding, fishing, and the evening activities. He also relayed the food was great!
Inclusive. Fun. Active. Good variety. Engaging. Excellent counselors and staff.
Amazing! My daughters had the best time of her life! She came back with more confidence, new friends and those wonderful childhood summer camp memories. I wish I had found this place sooner.
Safe, affordable and a beautiful summer campus
Everything. My daughter has always had so much fun for many years of going to Camp Watia.

Great experience. Excellent counselors who are fun and attentive! My child loved the horseback riding and especially the slide and activities. She actually very much liked the downtime as well to get to know her bunkmates better. Overall, we are excited to come back!
There is an exciting activity every day like paddle boarding, fishing, going down the big slide, and capture the flag to name a few. The couselors have been great and keep the fun going with cabin magic and group activities!
