Camp Qwanoes Through Their Eyes
“My son looks forward to his week at camp all year long. Camp Qwanoes has been a welcoming, caring, fun-filled environment for kids to thrive. As a former camper myself, I’m thrilled that my sons are getting experience ‘camp life’. The staff have all done a wonderful job of mixing things up each year and maintaining traditions. Whether your child be a first time camper or a returning pro, they are going to have an absolute blast a Camp Qwanoes! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

“My son absolutely loved his time at Camp Qwanoes last year. The second he got home he was asking me to sign up for this year. He’ll be back this year and he can’t wait! My only regret is we didn’t start sending him sooner. Thank you!”

“Been going here for the past three summers, and It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The camp is absolutely beautiful, the activities are awesome. Everyone I’ve ever met has been friendly and welcoming. Whether as camper or staff, this’ll be one of the greatest places you ever go.”

“My son has been attending for the last four years and has had an amazing time every time. He’s even decided to become a counselor in training. Great staff and activities were top notch. One of the nights he was able to sleep outside and stargaze late into the night, which was pretty special because it’s such a dark sky as the camp away from the lights city.”

“All three of our sons went through the student leadership programs at Qwanoes. Their life and faith skills increased significantly while at this camp. This is a fun, gracious place to be – ‘better than Disneyland’ one of our sons declared, which is a big deal for him. I recommend sending your children and teens to everyone.”

“I didn’t go to the camp myself other than to dropoff and pick up, but our kids have been talking about all the fun they had during the week nonstop since we picked them up over an hour ago, so it must have been good.”

“An amazing place for kids. Lots of fun activities and programs aimed at making the children better people in the world. It IS a Christian organized program and they have stayed true to their beliefs. The children have been back for over 24 hours and can not stop talking about how fun and life changing it was. Considering the staff, the programs organized, and the meals, it is subsidized!!!! Thank you to all organizers for the great things you do with the children here. God bless you.”

“After a couple of years trying to get in, we finally got in for Qwanoes. My son just came back from his first time at this camp and he absolutely loved it!!! So much so that he’s already asked to be signed up again next year. He’s been to other camps and this one was by far the best. He had lots of fun, made lots of friends and loved the food and all the activities. A big kudos to his cabin counsellor too (cabin 42): in his words ‘we had the best one!'”

“Camp Qwanoes is an absolutely fantastic place to spend a week during the summer or a weekend retreat during the rest of the year! The staff is super friendly and the activities are amazing. Our family has enjoyed a few of the weekend family retreats and our older children are excited to work on the staff team this summer as well as attend a camp! Looking forward to spending many more years at Camp Qwanoes!”

“I went to Qwanoes for all 3 years of Junior high (for me Live It Up, Right Here Right Now, and Unbelievable) and it was the best times of my life! Qwanoes is like a second home to me and many other people because it just has that environment… The staff are amazing, the activities are AMAZING and the friends you make will last you forever!”
