Parent Testimonials: 

“Our daughter loved it. We’re new to the camp experience and this exceeded our expectations.”

“My daughter asked to go back to Chestnut Hill Farm Camp again next summer. She made and brought home crafts and food that she made. She was an absolute dirty mess when I picked her up and underneath all the dirt was a huge smile! She was in a happy place and that makes me happy! Well done Chestnut Hill Farm Camp! Teaching kids about taking care of nature and teaching them life skills to take care of themselves and others.”

“I just want to express my gratitude for this camp experience. My son said this is the best camp ever! He has never felt so accepted and liked in a camp before! All of the counselors are so kind and nice.”
