Memories and Reflections of Camp Carysbrook
âThis summer that Iâve spent working at Camp Carysbrook has easily been the best summer of my life so far. Itâs a truly incredible experience as you watch young girls be themselves in a place where no one judges, gossips or argues.â
Claire CarlinStaff, 2015
âOur daughter has gone to Carysbrook for 3 summers now and each year my wife and I come away more impressed with all that the camp has to offer. She has built great friendships that persist throughout the year while camp is out.â
Jeremy HellmanParent
âCarysbrook brings out the very best in my daughter. She feels loved, and she feels confident to take all kinds of risks.â
Ellen CarverParent
âThis past summer I spent at Camp Carysbrook was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Deciding to apply for this job was the best decision I have ever made, I had the absolute best summer of my life. I canât wait until next year.â
Lucy MullerStaff, 2014
âI just spent 8 weeks of my summer in the most magical place in the world. Nights are spent cuddled around a fire with campers and friends alike, and girls are challenged to grow and find themselves, while always being accepted for who they are. Here, life is simpler and makes more sense.â
Abby Worth-JonesStaff 2014
âI went to Carysbrook over 50 years ago! The Prestons ran the camp then. It was a transformative time for me, and I have loved the mountains ever sinceâŠwhat a magical time it was!â
Bridget Ritter
âCamp Carysbrook is a safe place to try new things without fear of failure. Every summer left me with a fortified sense of confidence.â
Frannie McCorkleFormer Camper and Counselor
âThere is a place at Carysbrook for all girls â bold, shy, athletic, musical and those who canât carry a tune. Camp Carysbrook encourages campers to believe and trust in themselves and discover their unique abilities.â
Toni M. Baughman
âOver the years as a parent of campers, it has become increasingly clear how the Carysbrook experience influences the empowerment of girls and the paths they choose.â
Jean SchlichterParent
âI met my most cherished friends at camp, had experiences that I would have never experienced outside of Carysbrook (riflery, archery, rappelling, cavingâŠ.) and had an opportunity to be independent in a safe setting.â
Brooks Garris LivelyFormer Camper and Parent
