About Summit Camp & Travel
Summit Camp & Travel is a well-established camp that has been around since 1969. It offers a variety of fun activities such as computers, adventure, go-carts, swimming, basketball, tennis, and social dances. The camp provides a strong sense of community, with staff who take the time to develop real relationships with campers. Many reviews highlight the caring nature of the staff, describing them as kind, attentive, and like family. Counselors often go above and beyond, with some staying late or taking campers on rides and visits, creating a welcoming and supportive environment. Campers, especially young boys, often feel safe and happy, with many expressing a desire to return each year. Parents note that communication about their child's wellbeing is sufficient, with updates and pictures helping them stay connected without worry. The camp also features a life skills program called the Summit Center for older teens and young adults, contributing to campers’ personal growth and self-confidence. While most reviews are positive, some mention the bunk housing as being less than ideal, describing it as old and in need of improvement, with issues like wasps, lack of locks, and difficulty getting hot water. The camp's location includes a hill near the pool and lake, which some find to be a workout. Despite minor concerns, many find Summit Camp to be a special place that fosters growth, friendship, and lasting memories, with some alumni holding it in high regard and hoping to visit again.

I went to Summit Camp in 2016-2017 and had a great time with everyone. I loved computers, adventure, go-carts, canteen, basketball, tennis, social dances, swimming, breakfast, lunch and dinner in the dining hall. Shep was the best at Summit Camp. This summer will be the BEST SUMMER EVER!!

I attended this camp when it opened in 1969. It really helped me and my late parents were very happy with the camp and the late owner Mayer Stiskin. I hope to visit the camp but it’s 3.5 hours away from me. I’m 66 now and I will always hold Summit Camp in my heart and in the highest regard. Highly recommend.
