I FREAKING LOVED IT HERE!!!!!!!!!!!! I really love how all of the counselors and kids are very kind and understanding, I got along with everybody. Don't even get me started on how awesome the OLYMPICS are, even though my team lost by 19 points I STILL had an awesome time! Once my two weeks were over I just wished I could stay for another 2 weeks.100 out of 10 would recommend going here (or sending your child here), I'm REALLY looking forward to going back this summer!!! this place is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This place is awesome! From summer camp for the kids to family camp weekends, they offer a great way to unwind and have fun in nature. Highly recommend looking into it if you're looking for a place to send the kids or find your own adventure.

Both my kids went to Camp Hazen (my youngest is there now) and loved it. Life changing experiences for them. Life long friends and memories. Cannot recommend a summer camp more than Camp Hazen. ❤️

Signed up and paid in full in May for a session that starts on 8/8/21 Called us on 8/3/21 to inform us that our reservation was cancelled(our reservation, not the whole camp) The person who called was cold and obviously did not care that my daughters heart would be broken. Speechless. They offered no help and no alternatives.

We love Camp Hazen. We’ve been going to family camp on Labor Day and Memorial Day weekends for 12 years. Those weekends together have bonded us as a family. The wholesome atmosphere is refreshing and there are so many different activities we love coming back! Our 15 year old son has gone to the resident camp for 6 years. The counselors are great role models and Our son will apply to the Leadership Program next summer. We have only wonderful things to say about this very special camp!!!

My son just returned from the two week sleepaway camp and he absolutely loved it. The counselors are amazing and the camp really takes a vested interest in making sure your child has a good time.

This is my favorite place in the world! I've been 5 years, i would've loved for it to be 6, but I'm hoping this coming year i can become a LEA! Camp Hazen is the only place where I've really been able to be myself, and i'll forever hold it in my heart as an important and special part of my life. -S.K.T.

Camp Hazen is a family tradition. I went there from ages 9-15. My brother started at age 9 and went on to be a counselor and even sports director. My daughter has been going since she was 12. She just finished the LEA program and is currently doing the lifeguard training. We all have the best time there. So many memories!!!!

I've been a camper at Hazen for 6 years! Each summer was a blast! I make new friends and reconnect with old ones! They don't allow phones, which is great because you can enjoy the beauty of camp! The counselors are really nice and they are always willing to help you with anything! People from around the world come to Hazen! It's a great opportunity to learn about different cultures. It's such an accepting community! You can go around with paint on your face and you can wear the dumbest outfit, and nobody judges you for it! It's a place where you can be yourself! It also helps you develop better
