Testimonials
It felt a bit like a homecoming. I sure did appreciate the kindness, the welcome from others, the remembrance worship service, the light-hearted morning program, and the wonderful connecting conversations.Returning camper
Just an awesome camp. It's a very special place. Tons of options to choose from. It's cool how people bring their own passions to camp -- that's what makes each Eliot unique.August Camper
The Musical talent among the campers always amazes me -- I really enjoyed hearing the individuals and groups who performed throughout the week.Camper
I most appreciated getting to know people in a light-hearted way through dancing, games, collaborative art, etc. That led to some deep conversations.Camper

I really appreciated the fun, active content of the program that built upon the camp'sthemes of community, joy, retreat, appreciation of nature, and deep human and spiritual connection.Camper
I loved that there were a range of activities that my son and I could choose from, based on how we felt and what we needed (i.e. the energy of a pickleball match or the calm and quiet of reading on the beach). I rarely get the opportunity to be so responsive and flexible in my daily activities, so I relished the opportunity to do so at camp!First Time Camper
This was absolutely my favorite speaker out of all my years at camp. I really appreciated how relevant and timely the topic was, how it was so intricately tied to our shared faith/beliefs, and was so actionable.Long-time Camper
For a newcomer, it was simply an amazingly positive adult experience. All of the programming was interesting, thoroughly engaging, and the campers were the most welcoming and open group I’ve ever encountered. I will definitely be coming back.First Time Camper
What a loving UU community! Really liked seeing so many youth being a real part of the whole community and almost everyone mostly "unplugged"!First Time Camper from Washington.
Eliot is magical. Caring people, love, music, intimacy, children and adults together. What more could anybody want?Longtime Elioteer from Oregon
Had an amazing week in the Young Adult Program! It tied in really well with the theme of the speaker, while also being quite unique. The coordinators were so great and kept things very fun! We had tons of variety in the activities we did each day. That was great!!!Young Adult from British Columbia

==> So much fun, I appreciated the children's program and the variety of events for campers. I especially appreciated the opportunities for making and sharing music, and the existence of a central gathering place for Happy Hour.
