...he had such a great time there and he's definitely going back for more years to come. There is a well-designed balance between fun, knowledge, experience and collaboration. Truly awesome!

"...the farm, the fresh milk, the incredible sea kayaking trip, and the fact Chewonki makes its own bread! He also bought my mother a centennial hat and said how lucky he is to be able to go to Chewonki when he presented it to her."

"Thank you so much for the AMAZING experience you provided to Augusto. He is so happy to have been part of this journey!"

"Chewonki has become so integral to his development and providing an environment and structure that has made him the much more self-confident young man that he is today. "

"This year, he was 100% thrilled to be at camp. He asked us to sign him up immediately for next year!"

"What an extraordinary opportunity for our son. I’ve rated everything ‘excellent’ in spite of not having direct knowledge because he just came back having had such an incredible overall experience that I figure the food, safety, people, location, facilities etc were all part of that!"
