Great summer camp. A/C, spacious, beautiful views, amazing activities you will not find at the standard camp, well kept and beautiful buildings and grounds. The kids learn a great deal, and have fun doing it. My children were able to take equestrian lessons daily. They host an impressive visiting day, with high talent performances, it was such fun. The counselors were lovely and engaging with the children. They were superb models for high level social skills. The kids are allowed access to their phones at night, which I loved. My children felt safe, well fed, and entertained. I will send them next year, without hesitation, if they like. Fair warning...I did not think they were entirely up front with their fees. After the base price, there were required fees for medication management, a t-shirt, a movie trip that was supposed to be optional and was not. They also strongly suggest accounts for the kids for an on site store, which has little for practical use, and lets the kids buy sweatshirts and candy that have no marked prices. The store has no basics like shampoo, deodorant, etc.. I would hesitate to fund that account again. They will also expect you to leave cash for the kids, which mine spent on beverages that were up to near $5 a piece, and to tip the counselors a specific fee for each session.

My daughter loved this place so much! The staff, counselors, and campers were all amazing. Where else can do two types of dance, musical theatre AND flying trapeze? Her bunkmates sobbed when I took her away.

Nigel and the team at FWSA are all wonderful, and run a fantastic program! We send students from our nonprofit program to French Woods Sports and Arts each summer and they all return home with rave reviews and can not wait to go back to camp the next summer. This is a great program for teens as it pulls all the best elements from traditional summer camp but modernizes the experience as well, so campers can grow within the program. The programming, staff, facilities and atmosphere make French Woods Sports and Arts such a special experience. Thank you Nigel & everyone at Sports and Arts!
