My teen daughter loves Camp Lindenmere and looks forward to the following summer all throughout the school year. The grounds and facilities are top notch. The programs and activities are terrific and has something for everyone to do. The owners and staff are caring leaders who successfully achieve their goal to make sure all the campers are safe and happy. The culture is fantastic and results in an environment where my daughter would attend all year long if it was feasible. 5-star review.

My daughter has attended Lindenmere for six years and it is her home away from home! Camp Lindenmere has so much to offer in terms of activities – sports, drama, flying trapeze, circus, gymnastics, and so much more! They take great day trips, and now that she is an upper camp, they are doing short teen tours to cool places! But, the best part of Lindenmere is the people! My daughter has made her closest friends at Lindenmere and absolutely loves her counselors! Lindenmere is a very special and warm place because they treat their campers like their own family!

We couldn't be more pleased with our experience at Camp Lindenmere. We were actually at a different sleep away camp for a couple of years, and the experience at Lindenmere was leaps and bounds better in terms of feeling safe and cared for. The grounds are beautiful, bunks are clean, the camp makes improvements year to year, and most importantly, my child feels at home and cannot wait to go back. It's not about when things go smoothly - which is most of the time - but it's about how the directors and staff handle problems. My child struggled a little at the beginning of camp this past year, and the director was on it! By the end, my son was saying that he couldn't wait to go back. It seems like the camp maximizes the value to the families - like they don't skimp on anything. The activities challenge and engage in the best way. This camp shows that safety, fun, whole-child development, comfort, and good food are all priorities. What I love most is that, if I ever need to reach someone, there is always someone available to attend to my needs as a parent. We are a Camp Lindenmere family, through and through!

Camp Lindenmere is a very special place. This will be summer number 4 for our boys at camp and they can't wait to return. Lindenmere offers something for everyone. My older son (age 11) is not into sports. Instead, he has participated in everything from 3D printing and STEAM to Rock Shop (playing 2 different instruments in a band) to building sets for the theater productions. My other son (age 9) only wants to play sports. Everything from ultimate frisbee and hockey to scaling the walls on the ropes course. Camp Lindenmere offers the best of both worlds and allows my boys to participate in the activities of their choice with kids who have similar interests as them. The daily blogs from Mitch, (the owner), update us with everything going on so we stay in the know. Communication with Kyle, (owner/director) has always been top notch. They try to create a positive, nurturing environment where the kids can be themselves. We can't wait for next summer!

My daughter has gone to Camp Lindenmere for two summers and absolutely loves it. I cant say enough amazing things about this place--it is such a special and supportive environment where kids get to try new things and make lifelong friendships. The facilities are beautiful and far surpassed other camps we toured in the area. Really love the staff and leadership--communication is always easy and they go above and beyond to make it a positive experience for each camper. The choice program allows each kid to try new things and also tailor their day so they're really focusing on activities they love and enjoy! My daughter cant imagine spending her summer anywhere else.

My daughter has been a Lindenmere camper for the past six years, and she has loved every summer and can't wait for the summer of 2024! She has made incredible friendships and enjoyed so many activities and trips, and she's become much more mature and self-confident since living at her "summer home." Lindenmere is a very special place, and we are so grateful we're part of the Lindenmere family.

Always a five stars experience ! I have two children and we book camp every summer. At the end of each season my children already look forward to the next one and would love to stay for two sessions, if not school dates. We fly all the way from England and each year it is a joy to see how kids develop and become more independant. Still got few years before they reach maximum age, so lots of fun ahead. I also used to work for this camp many years ago, when I was a student, so I knew it inside out, but, I must say, being a very nice place to send your kids to, it has also improved massively in the last few years. Definitely Five Stars !!!

My son has spent the last 2 summers at Camp Lindenmere. He's done 4 week sessions and next summer will spend 7 weeks there, at his request. The camp is gorgeous and offers a wide variety of activities. Being a choice camp, the kids are able to decide which activities they want to participate in. Would definitely recommend this camp to anyone looking for a great overnight camp experience!

As I'm writing this it's been almost 4 years since I've last been at the camp. I feel like I have to write this review however. When I was 13, I was at this summer camp, and they quite literally saved my life. The staff at this camp caught on to my health issues and because of them I was able to be diagnosed with leukemia at an early enough stage that I lived. There nursing staff stayed with me from the camp all the way to the hospital never leaving me alone. Even after the diagnosis they continued to help my family. When I returned the next year after going through one of the roughest periods of my life, they welcomed me with open arms and made me feel happiness for the first time since my diagnosis.Lindenmere saved my life and the memories I made there have continued to save me even now.Thank you Mitch, Odie and the rest of the staff there without you I wouldn't be here.

Wow wow wow. I have been putting this off because I don’t know where to begin. From beginning to end the coordinator Kyle and entire staff were exceptional!!! Camp Lindenmere was the coolest place for a camping trip wedding! It was the best find! Yes I can go on and on about the facility itself and I will but the best part was hands down the staff!!!! This group of wonderful humans did everything to make sure my husband, myself and all our guests were comfortable and having fun. The planning process was very smooth. The tour and tasting itself was one of the best days ever. The food is outstanding!!! This place truly has it all. The cabins are newly renovated and the activities were never ending. I showed up with the weekend itinerary and they took care of the rest. This camp was better than the camp I went to every summer as a kid. My step daughter is now asking to go to this camp. Our wedding weekend was one of the best times of our lives and it’s all thanks to Camp Lindenmere and their staff!!!!! Weeks later and people are still talking about how much fun they had. Thank you sooo much Kyle, Elliot, Louis and the entire CL crew!!! We LOVE you guys!!!! Beyond grateful ?

We are SO grateful to Camp Lindenmere for having the most beautiful venue and the most supportive, helpful staff! I knew I wanted a camp wedding from day 1 of planning, but most camps require a lot of DIY. Kyle, Elliot and staff are SO on top of planning ,guest bookings, timelines, day of coordination, doing all the set up (I mean we literally brought in our mug favors and they put the little “thank you” tags on, they put batteries in our taper candles, etc. I swear they don’t say no.) The food all weekend was incredible, the drinks were flowing (my husband and I were CRAVING the ribs we had at the reception for a full week after). Our guests were really pleasantly surprised at the “country club” feel of the summer camp - staff is always around on golf carts to escort guests as needed, there’s even a beer golf cart going around on Saturday. The waterfront was beautiful, everyone got a kick out of the high ropes course, people were playing volleyball under the lights all hours of the night. They told us the after-party would end at 1:30 but we were partying til 3:30 and no one was kicking us out. I’m trying to convince everyone I know to get married here so I can come back as a guest!

I cannot express in words how special Camp Lindenmere is to my daughter. While the camp could justifiably have bragging rights on its pristine/modern/air conditioned bunks, top notch facilities/grounds, and excellent food (all of which is true), the camp talks about the culture of the camp as being its greatest asset…this couldn’t be more true.The camp for years and years has stressed the fact that it attracts and retains kind human beings for its campers and staff. The camp is vigilant in ensuring that unkind behavior is not tolerated. The result of this focus over many years is a truly special environment where incredible friendships form and campers grow so much.I commend the Garfinkel family, their leadership team, and staff for the camp they have invested heavily in to flourish as it has and, again, to foster a culture that is truly special and unique.

I just wanted to thank you for another great summer for my girls. I'm not sure what it was but something about this summer just seemed even better for them - their smiles were just bigger!They have a wonderful group of the sweetest friends and always great counselors.

Horrible experience for our camper. The staff is unprofessional, undertrained, rude, and simply not equipped to take care of children, let alone provide your child with a stellar experience. This is what one would expect considering you are paying thousands of dollars for summer camp, no? They do not care about making sure every camper has a wonderful experience—anybody who needs a little more TLC and/or guidance is brushed off and considered a nuisance. Avoid at all costs!

Lindenmere Team, I just wanted to say thank you for another amazing summer. Casey had the best time and has made such great friendships and memories. The bunk counselors were great, as was Percy. Thank you thank you!
