What our Mortal Guardians are Saying About Camp
“As I mentioned to you before we signed up, I really wasn’t sure if it was going to be the right fit for [my son]. Now, on the final day of his three weeks with you, I am very proud to report, it is (and he can’t wait to return next year). We have watched him mature in amazing ways these three intense and magical weeks. I give a ton of credit to [his counselors]. They have ignited his imagination while recognizing his unique spirit and character. I am truly amazed by the energy and care they bring to their performances. These days are, in my mind, live-action, improvisational theater. And these two, along with many others you have recruited, give their all from the first moment 'til beyond the last. They have made a huge impression on
my son.”
“My kid has been to many camps and is now firmly in the sleepaway camp life, but he talks reverently about CHB. Even the location just a couple blocks from our home, he says, felt like being in an entirely different world. This is the best camp in NYC.”
"My son adored it and wanted to go back again and again. He loved all the counselors, felt seen and cared for. Even when he and his bestie got into it with some big feelings Week One, ALL counselors were empathetic and cool. I think he matured throughout the month he was there. I think the experience checked all the boxes for us -- creative, active, fun, and also had educational components that were emergent. I would say that this is the best camp experience he's had and it's the kind of camp I wish was available when I was growing up…”
“We could not love Camp Half-Blood more. In 2020, we moved out to Westchester and now we drive in for the week to attend this camp. That is how much we love it.”
"My son had an incredible experience. He loved every minute. I was so happy that he was having fun outside, COVID-safe, enjoying nature, [getting] imaginary play, learning about mythology, and socializing.”
"My daughter loves mythology so this was the perfect camp for her. She came home with wonderful stories every day! She learned so much and made so many new friends. Especially consider this camp if your kid is a little shy. The counselors are so nice. This camp was definitely our favorite!"
“We’ve sent our boys to a lot of cool camps, and this is their all-time favorite.... [Camp Half-Blood] seems to hit the sweet spot of enacting their epic fantasies, being creative, and running around like sword-wielding maniacs. Mom loves it because it’s literary. Every day after camp they jam their heads into the Riordan books and D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths. We’ve done it two years in a row (one week each), with plenty of related reading in the off-season, and by now they know their mythology inside and out. Five stars.”
Mortal Guardian
“[Camp Half-Blood] is a truly magical place, where counselors and campers showed my son a path towards new and wonderful friendships. And, with trivia, and stealth, and roles like ammunition gatherers, even those who typically run from physical contact find themselves very much at home at CHB. In short, thank you! See you next summer.”
Mortal Guardian
“It is not often I am able to give my daughter exactly the experience she wants and craves, a home that is just right for her. School certainly doesn’t always work out that way. I hoped this would be that perfect fit and this experience surpassed even my most hopeful dreams.”
