Camp Review
“This is the best summer camp ever. This is my second home, the place where I feel the safest, happiest, best. I have been coming to Camp Jewell for 4 years and loved it more each year I went back. The counselors are AMAZING and the people you will meet will stay with you your entire life. I would recommend this camp to anyone.”
Camp Review
My daughter had some personal challenges during the academic year. She really needed to have a good summer plan. After her first summer at Camp Jewell, she was able to overcome challenges better and developed life skills and personal values that will help her life long. Now, every year she looks forward to another summer at camp.
Camp Review
Camp Jewell is simply the most magical place on earth. The staff are all just phenomenal. The programming is amazing. There’s really nothing better! I honestly feel that every child, and family, should attend any and all programs they have the opportunity to participate in. I promise you will all love it as much as my family does
Camp Review
I simply cannot say enough about Camp Jewell. My daughters attended summer camp for the first time and fell in love. They were encouraged to be kids, have fun, make friends and love the outdoors all while being in the most positive environment you can imagine. The experience has changed my children for the better. They are begging to go back next summer. It truly is magical!

The Cartnicks: They Meet, They Marry at Camp Jewell
The summer of 2001 was definitely a life changer for me. I came to Camp Jewell on a whim because I happened to see a table set up at the student union center at Denison University. After a brief interview on the spot, I decided I was up for an adventure. I left the familiarity of my typical Ohio summers to try something new—camp. I knew no one and had no idea what I was getting myself into. I had never attended camp and had no idea what it was all about.

You don’t realize it at the time.
Climbing this wall, crossing this lake, and cleaning this cabin will change you. Cooking dinner over this fire and under these stars will be remembered decades later. The friends you made around that fire will be with you still. This is Camp Jewell.
