I received a call from the camp inquiring about my interest in the camp. I answered the phone and the person just blurted out my name like a solicitor. He was rude and very authoritarian sounding. He had zero customer service skills and zero tact. Based on this treatment alone, I will not be sending my children here. I appreciate the honesty in the tone though. Some kids need that kind of militant treatment, but mine don’t.

Thank you Camp Pocono Trails for all you do! I love your Facebook posts showing real campers and they progress they have made and how they have kept the weight off, sometimes many years after camp. You guys are the real deal! My son attended last year and he his doing fantastically, keeping all the weight off and managing his tech habits. It's like we have a new and improved version of our child. I can't say enough about what you all do!

Love this place!!! Camp Pocono Trails changed my child's life. This summer was an investment in my child's health and wellbeing. My child was overweight and had no friends, only interacting with others online. So we signed him up for the Technology Addiction track and hoped he would also lose weight. Not only did he lose significant weight but he learned how to manage his video game play. He returned home with a plan to manage his online time the skills to do it. We got a return on our investment in spades! We are so happy with Camp Pocono Trails and their counselors. Thank you for all you do!

Camp Pocono Trails literally gave me my kids back! I sent two very unhappy, out-of-shape, technology-addicted, depressed children to camp this past summer. After a year of virtual school and limited social interaction, my kids were depressed, out of shape, and overall unhappy. After spending this past summer at CPT, my kids came home transformed... not just physically but more importantly, emotionally. My kids were happy and carefree in a way that I hadn't seen in months! They spent their summer being kids... making friends and having fun. Words cannot describe how grateful I am to Tony and Dale

My son and daughter are there this year. This is our third year with Camp Pocono Trails (CPT). Our son returned this year as a counselor and it's our daughter's first year. She is attending to help her discover sports she can do at high school next year. She is not athletic but we feel that if she is introduced to a variety of sports and activities she will surely find something she wants to do when she gets back home and starts school in the Fall. Both our kids are having a blast this summer and I really can't say enough positive things about the camp. The program is life changing. We especially

I had the best time at Camp Pocono Trails. It's the best camp I've ever been to. The campers and counselors were both very nice and understanding. Self Esteem was a very empowering group and it helped my bunk bond and get us talking about self improvement. I really liked the variety of food we got and even though it was very healthy it was still very good tasting. I liked doing the ropes course. I was scary at first but it ended up being fun. I also liked being pulled fast on a raft behind a jet ski. I came midway during the summer so I was afraid I would be hard making friends but I actually became

The summer of 2020 was my daughters first year at Camp Pocono Trails. It was especially stressful with the pandemic in full swing, however, Tony and Tricia were fabulous in the months leading up to camp. The communication was spot on and left no room for confusion. On top of communicating about the ongoing changes at camp due to the pandemic, the camp rolled out a virtual exercise program for families to participate in prior to coming to camp. The actual roll out of the drop off and pick up procedures, as well as procedures at camp, once kids were there, made me feel confident that Bella was safe

Our daughter attended the pre-camp session at Pocono Trails this summer. She said she had an awesome experience. I was so happy to see her glowing face when she was telling me about the camp. She liked the rope courses and hiking the most. I was so relieved when she told me that she no longer fears the water and wants to further continue her swimming lessons. She had a wonderful time there and is determined to enroll for a full course next summer. Thank you guys to bring happiness on my daughter's face.

My son joined Camp Pocono Trails this summer. I was surprised to see such a great natural environment. They have really helpful fitness programs including a lot of fun activities. The yoga session was much needed and enjoyed by my son which surprised me. My son had a total blast there and made some great friends. It was a great experience. Good going, keep it up!
