My son attended the Venture Outdoors summer camp this year and said he wants to return next year. He really liked the counselors and the variety of activities. The camp team had some adversity in our first week. The weather hit 90°+ everyday, but they adjusted plans to keep everyone as comfortable as possible and even offered refunds to those who wanted to cancel. This is a good summer camp option in the North if your kids like to be outdoors.
