Horrible experience..I was Lifeguard with Camp Robin Hood…. I voiced concern about the Camp Leader/ Camp Counselor make myself and the international staff uncomfortable and doing drugs…. I was fired due to voice my concerns about what was happening… Don’t work at Camp Robin it is truly not a friendly environment for international and 1st time staff members… Woody loves to talk about how everyone is former campers as the special sauce… However it is great to have former campers however there is no diversity… It feels more like a cult then a family….

Large camp with many activities. Food is very good for a camp. The beds are very thin foam pads that sink through the bed frame slightly. It’s expensive.

I would give Camp Robin Hood zero stars if I could. My 10-year-old daughter had a horrible experience at this camp. She has ADHD and they are not equipped to take on a child who doesn’t fit their mold. I was completely transparent about her ADHD before I enrolled her, and the camp director assured me that they would do everything they could to accommodate her needs. That was a complete joke. They kicked her out after 6 days and kept my money. No negotiations.I offered to find a young girl the same age who could take over my daughter’s spot. I figured the camp was already paid for, there was an empty bed, and giving a camper in need of financial aid a free camp experience would be so amazing. They would not agree to that idea either, but they kept my money.Then they refilled my daughter’s ADHD medication without her even being there, which not only messed up my insurance when I tried to fill it for her at home two weeks later, but it also gave the camp a month-long supply of a controlled substance, which they proceeded to give to my 13-year-old son when he left camp after the full month-long session. They even let him travel with his sister’s medication across states. However, they did not even tell me they had refilled the prescription in my daughter’s absence, nor did they tell me my son would be carrying the medication. They didn’t even tell me when I picked him up at the airport! I’m pretty sure giving a 13-year-old a controlled substance that is not his is entirely illegal, especially when the parent isn’t even informed.Also, my son excels in archery, which is why we chose Camp Robin Hood. It claims to be renowned for its archery program. That is also a joke. My son told me he knew more than the head archery counselor.The camp director reminds me of a politician—can’t be trusted.Do not send your children here unless they are perfect angels and novice archers.

I have been a camper at Camp Robin Hood for 6 years so far. This place has truly changed my life forever. My camp friends are my favorite people in the world and I don’t know where I would be without them. The counselors are unlike any other camps counselors in a way that they will always be there for you whenever you are down and/or need someone to talk to. Since all the general staff is past campers, they are easy to relate to and make an amazing experience for everyone. I am so sad too leave my second home and all the people there but I’m eternally grateful for the life lessons and great friendships I have built over the summers.

I have been a camper here for almost 6 years. This camp is one of my favorite places on earth. This place is so special and it keeps going on for years. You build life long friendships that will last forever. My campfriends and I love this place so much. The counslers here love you and are so sweet. There are so many cool events like green and white and mountain trips. Like they always say come for a summer, stay for a lifetime.

For ninety years, boys (and for the past thirty years girls, too,) have flocked each summer to Camp Robin Hood on the shores of Broad Bay, to make new friends in the cabins, to challenge themselves on the fields, to step out of their comfort zone on the stage, and to form bonds that last a lifetime, and in some cases generations.I'm proud to say my family has been part of the Camp Robin Hood family for more than 40 of those years! My brother attended camp when it was all boys - and then in 1987 when girls were added, I was one of the first girl campers (at the time, there were less than 20 of us). I spent 15 summers as a camper, counselor, Group Leader and Waterfront Director.Now the girls and boys camps are equal in size (around 400 total campers) and my oldest daughter will be starting her 4th summer while my twins will be going for the first time. Many traditions are still the same (color war, count-offs, 16 laps, hiking Mount Washington, etc.) while facilities have been updated (new dining hall, several new cabins - others have been renovated, new lodge, updated office, and more) and more activities have been added (Ga-Ga, 9 square and more). I am grateful that my children will get to spend 7 weeks together, away from the hustle and bustle of their school lives with NO SCREENS, enjoying all the White Mountains have to offer. For me, one of the most exciting parts has been watching the never-ending cycle of camp friendships continue, campers often continue through the ranks as counselors in order to "give back" similar memories and experiences to the future generations of the camp. Additionally, the mid-western feel to the camp is a nice change from the fast-past New England world where we live.As a camper, I looked up to the counselors and even the Directors. The Directors today are former campers from the 1970's themselves, and former "camp parents" as well. They have brought Robin Hood traditions forward while continuing to enhance what they offer in the 21st century. And they understand the responsibility they are entrusted with each summer, caring for our children. As a parent, I have found the communication from the Administration both helpful (in preparing for camp and for my children's return after camp) and comforting, when I just want to know my kids are having fun and adjusting to life away from their parents.We have a few sayings at Robin Hood, like "live 10 for 2"(live 10 months of the school year for the 2 months of summer) and there's "magic in the trees". There's nothing quite like the sunset over Lake Ossipee or like camp friends that remain friends for life. There's nothing quite like Camp Robin Hood. I know my family is looking forward to being a part of Robin Hood for at least 90 more years...

Worked here for two summers, and it was life-changing. You can tell that the people who run this camp really care about the campers, and the location is unbeatable. Extremely valuable experience and wonderful place to spend the summer.

My boys will be attending in 2020 and will be there 5th summer! No other place like it. They are all about celebrating an individual’s uniqueness and strengths. Just an amazing safe and electronic free camp!

It is life changing. You cannot write any review, you have to be there. Camp Robin Hood is a small slice of heaven.

I worked for Camp Robin Hood last year and loved it so much I am returning again this summer and hope to continue for years to come. I worked for the infirmary on camp so I got to meet all the staff and most of the campers. It’s easy to see the staff care so much for the campers, a lot of them being Camp alumni themselves. It is such a unique and gratifying summer job. The kids’ cabins are constantly in a cycle of upkeep and improvements keeping them updated, clean, and safe. The fields, courts, waterfront, and other facilities used around camp like the dining hall, arts&crafts, workshop and more are very impressive. I went to a different camp as a kid and this place amazed me when I arrived last summer. It was more that I ever could have expected. Daily Camp life at Robin Hood revolves around so much tradition and history that after even just one year I feel like part of the Robin Hood family.

Camp Robin Hood is the greatest gift a parent can give their child. It has given my girls confidence and helped them to establish positive identities, lifelong friendships and the tools to tackle any challenges life throws their way. When I asked my 9 year old to describe Camp Robin Hood she said,“Camp Robin Hood is a camp full of joy.This camp is not only filled with fun it is filled with once in a lifetime experiences.”

So glad summer is almost upon us, so I can make my annual trips to Robin Hood. I was a camper and counselor there in the '60's and 70"s, and have not missed a summer of visiting since, with this year being the 51st straight. It is a wonderful place and I have being lucky enough to make many lifelong friends there. Breathtaking views from the waterfront and terrific facilities abound!!
