Camp Chrysalis

My kid attended programs there from the age of 7 until they left for college. At every session and absolutely loved it - and so did we. Lee Tempkin's philosophy is to promote independence and support the kids in challenging themselves to do more than they believed they can do. Staff members are fantastic, and really do pay attention to who each camper is as a human being. During the years our kid was a Chrysalis camper they were also well-priced relative to other camps. My only caution is that you should cover the interior of your car with sheets and/or tarps before picking your kid up. I honestly did not know it was possible to get that filthy! However, scrape away the dirt and you will find a happy, exhausted, confident young person who had a tremendous time.

My kids have been going to Camp Chrysalis for 5 years and both loved it! Great outdoor experience and great way to get away from electronics. This year we've invited a new friend to come and he loved it and wanted to go back too! Can't wait for the next camp!
