"It was awesome!  I wish we had come years earlier!  The instructors were great. The food was great!  The grounds are breathtaking. We will be back. Thank you." – T. Heister

“I was very impressed with how friendly everyone at COA was.  The kitchen staff was the bomb - always great with the kids and VERY friendly!” – Y. Johnson

“After 20 years you have it just about perfect.” – C. Darkangelo

“This was our second trip, and it was even better than the first.  We love the area, and we love the camp.  I feel like I learn more during the camp week than I ever would have if we traveled to the area on our own, and it is fun.” – B. Barth

 “Even though we've been to Family Camp 17 times, we do not tire of the program.  Each year, there is something different to experience. Many lasting friendships have been developed at COA.  Our trip to Maine is a highlight of each year.” – The Gumpert Family

"NOT TO BE MISSED: Family Nature Camp and its leaders and organizers are unbelievable! If you have ever been thinking of attending, don't wait—do it now! A great deal, too, and great food, people, location, etc. Remember the Maine slogan... the way life should be." – M. Vaughn 

"The whole week exceeded expectations. It is a comfortable and beautiful setting, and the program was excellent."  – M. Fisher

"I wish there were more of these programs around the world. I think COA should be a model for other colleges! This was a great way for me to bring my three kids on vacation alone and get professional development points." – K. Scibelli

"After our fourth consecutive summer here, our expectations and experiences have not diminished. They only grow. We have formed friendships and this year planned our trip with 2 other families we met last summer during Family Week." – N. Katzenbach

"It was great for family time and for learning. We are homeschoolers and this week was a year's worth of science! Our children are motivated to learn more about what they studied and that makes my job delightful!" – L. Pinkham

"Family Nature Camp is fun! Excellent! You'll never want to leave." – Shiloh (age 6)
