"For the third year in a row, our family has enjoyed Chewonki Family Camp. We've never experienced anything else like it. The leadership is qualified and also has a philosophy for living that isn't found many places. The food is not-to-be-believed good. We are in the middle of nowhere, yet we eat copious, delicious, organic food three meals a day. My kids, now seven and five, came to family camp for the first time when they were two and five, and every year they want to go back. No matter their ages, they have never been bored for one second." North Woods Family Camp Parent 2007-2009
