Hey, Camp Fans!

We absolutely love tooting our own horn here at Everything Summer Camp—and we have a lot to toot about—but there’s a lot to toot about when it comes to other organizations as well, be they brand names whose products we offer or fun-factory summer camps themselves. Today it’s a summer camp—Camp Marimeta to be specific—whose praises we are singing.

Settled comfortably in the beautiful Northwoods of Wisconsin alongside Lake Meta, Camp Marimeta invites girls from age eight to age 16 to discover the opportunity that gives them the experience of a lifetime! Founded in 1946, Marimeta has been presenting young girls with a kind of education that they can’t attain through school for 70 years—and far more valuable than school education as well.

This camp shows young girls the time of their lives with a plethora of awesome activities that may reveal some surprising insight into their character and personality. Swimming, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, ropes course, archery, climbing wall, riding, drama, photography, dance, arts and crafts, cooking, volleyball, basketball, flag football, soccer, softball, tennis, golf, running, yoga, and so much more are all available at this impressive camp!Achieving more than just a good time, these activities along with the direction of camp staff and the support of all the other campers show young girls a better understanding and a clearer picture of who they are. It’s a transformative experience that takes a young child and sets them on a subtle road to maturity and self-actualization.

An excellent all girls summer camp for your daughter to attend, check out Camp Marimeta further and make your upcoming summer really count. As always, thanks for reading.

Hey, Camp Fans!

Here at Everything Summer Camp, we’re proud to say that we’re the recommended camp outfitter for roughly 250 camps. And we love singing the praises of the many camps with whom we’ve developed a working relationship. Today I’m shining our spotlight on the wonderful camp, Rockbrook Camp for girls in North Carolina.

To borrow a line from one of the traditional Rockbrook song, the camp sits in the ‘heart of a wooded mountain’. You’re sure to find absolute beauty in the Appalachian Mountains where waterfalls and scenic overlooks abound within the 215 acres of wooded campgrounds. Rockbrook Camp has been showing young girls—ages 6-16—a life outside of home for nearly 100 years!

Of course, there’s much more to Rockbrook than beautiful campgrounds. Rockbrook rocks with the best camps when it comes to the facilities they provide and the activities they offer. Rockbrook boasts two pottery studios, the ‘Curosty’ cabin (named for the mountain word—‘crafts’), climbing tower and real rock for climbing. They offer zip-lining, hiking, kayaking, horseback riding, archery, riflery, gymnastics, tennis, swim, theater, dance, and a lot more.

Campers live together in simple, open air cabins. Two female cabin leaders stay in each cabin. After dividing into three age groups (or ‘lines’ as Rockbrook calls them). Each line fills up anywhere from 5 to 9 cabins and a bathhouse is located in the center for each line.

With abundant activities and endless fun, Rockbrook Camp is able to work magic to show girls the time of their lives. This place gives young women the chance to realize a deeper understanding of themselves, the community around them, and how the two work together.

Rockbrook Camp is a shining example of what a great summer camp experience can do for a young woman. If you’re interested in checking it out for yourself, just click right here to visit their website and familiarize yourself with this excellent summer camp. And, as always, thanks for reading!

Hey, Camp Fans!

Looking for a great place where you can send your camper? Well, it just so happens I have an amazing summer camp to brag about today! Everything Summer Camp is more-than-happy to present a camp with whom we have had the pleasure of doing business—Cheley Colorado Camps for boys and girls.

Named after the tight-knit family that’s been keeping the camp in excellent operation since 1921, “Cheley is about doing things you never thought you’d do.” Cheley is located on three separate sites: Land O’ Peaks Ranch just south of Estes Park—then Boys’ Trail’s End as well as Girl’s Trail’s End on two ranch properties 12 miles east of Estes Park.

Here, among the snow-capped peaks of the Rocky Mountains and the majestic pine forests, Cheley campers are encountered with endless opportunities to climb billion-year-old slabs of rock, hike the scenic shaded forests, bike the mountainous terrain and tundra, and so much more!

Cheley is an adventure camp. It takes time for campers to allow themselves to settle in, wind down, get in shape, develop friendships, and do all the fun stuff that makes a summer session an unforgettable experience. That’s why Cheley’s camp sessions are four weeks long. In this enchanting environment, four fun weeks go by very quickly.

Throughout those four weeks, campers take great advantage of Cheley’s five western horseback riding rings with 146 beautiful horses, climbing walls and giant rock slabs, a gymnasium, basketball courts, Riflery ranges, archery ranges, 50 awesome mountain bikes, a pottery studio, wood shop, lush amphitheater that boasts a lighted stage, the soccer field adjacent to the aspen grove, the weight room, fishing pond, arts and crafts studio, and more!

With so many opportunities, Cheley campers are sure to face new challenges. But just as important as WHAT’s there—camp is about WHO’s there! Cheley campers build their confidence throughout a summer stay and learn what it means to be a part of a community. Forming new relationships is a huge part of camp that teaches trust, support, and self-reliance. Check it out for yourself sometime and, as always, thanks for reading!
