Summer camp is a wonderful gift to your daughter. A summer at camp will provide her with new experiences as she grows in self-confidence and independence. But don’t just take it from us – hear what our campers and parents are saying…
“She returned home happy, confident, and overall a much improved child. I cannot thank you enough for the great job you are doing at the most heavenly place on Earth.”
–Mary, CMW Parent
“You and your staff are doing great and marvelous things for all of those girls, inspiring them in ways that perhaps may not show for many, many years from now, but show they will. We appreciate each of the big and little things that you do to fill the campers with the wisdom that comes from having summers and summers of memories of our favorite place of rarest beauty.”
–Steve, CMW Parent
“I have watched her grow so much in the last two years and I cannot stress enough how you and all that CMW is have impacted how well she is doing. She is better, stronger, and happier in part because of what her CMW family has shown her and taught her.”
–Sylvia, CMW Parent
“The main session was absolutely fabulous for our daughters in every way. They grew so much (taller and wiser) and were able to revel in the magical world of childhood. We were so impressed with all that you’re doing and by the quality and talent of the counselors and not to mention so many lovely families. Many thanks and deepest appreciation for keeping the Merrie- Woode spirit alive and stronger than ever.”
–Evie, CMW Parent and Alumna
“I thank God that He got me to this place – and our girls have loved it and all it has brought to them.”
–Mae Mae, Former CMW Parent and Alumna
“After 7 years of Merrie-Woode, it defines my summer.”
–Emma, Former CMW Camper
“Our daughter returned to our home after attending the August session, her first camp experience, on Saturday. She came back all-a-glow, full of stories about her cabin, new friends, what she’d learned and of course, all that she ate. The Fudge Pie was a big hit!”
–Stephanie, CMW Parent
“The people, both staff and campers, here are wonderful! They all lend a helping hand whenever someone needs it. Camp Merrie-Woode will be a part of my life for many years to come. I will even send my children – that’s how much I love it here!”
–Josephine, CMW Camper
“She got out of her comfort zone and tried things that we never dreamed she would. We have noticed that she is so much more confident and mature…Some of my closest friends are girls I met at camp. Wherever I go, I run onto old friends from camp and, no matter how long it has been since we have seen each other we start laughing about experiences at camp and the lessons we have applied to our lives.”
–Carla, CMW Alumna, Parent, and Grandparent
“Thank you so much for a fabulous first year at camp Merrie-Woode. I loved all the kids and counselors and I can’t wait for next year.”
–Abby, CMW Camper
“Some of my happiest life memories are from growing up at Merrie-Woode. I hope you all know how special it is to me and now how special it is to my daughters.”
–Mathilde, CMW Alumna and Parent
“It is with love of camp and a deep appreciation for all that Merrie-Woode did to help shape our daughters into the strong women that they are today that I send along this note. Their time at camp was very special and we all treasure those memories. We are so pleased about the “Unplugged” program – how super for today’s girls to experience the world of camp as it used to be and is once more, thanks to your creativity and goals of a united camp family…Camp Merrie-Woode is such a magical and special place…indeed ‘a place of rarest beauty!’ I hope someday our daughters will have daughters who can experience the joys of being Merrie-Woode girls and share the love we have for camp.”
–Julia and Conrad, Former CMW Parents
