What our guests say!

"Thank you for the excellent experience that you gave me. The food was great! I have to say I felt like I was in a hotel when I was in Knoll. Everything in Knoll was spotless. Thank you for letting us play capture the flag. That was the most fun I've ever had playing that game. I also appreciate the free time that we got every now and then. Thanks, Meg"

"Dear Camp Howell Staff", Thank you so much for everything you did for us. I enjoyed camp sooooo much! I can't wait until I can bring my family to camp! I will remember it for my whole life, I guarantee it! I had never been on a high ropes course before, and I thought that was really cool! I had so much fun canoeing, doing archery, predator prey, Native American drumming, the rock wall, fire shelter, hay ride, the Global Village, the ropes course and especially lunch! I also think that it is really cool that you take in animals that can not live in the wild anymore and you create a safe home for them to live in! I had a very fun time at camp and can't wait to come back. Thanks to everyone at CAMP HOWELL!

"Dear Staff,
I can't thank you enough for letting us stay at the Howell Nature Center. I really enjoyed my stay there. Thank you kitchen staff, the food was awesome! I could tell that the staff really did know how to run a camp. The s'mores were awesome. I loved all the activities that you held. That was my first year on the zip line. I am so glad that I am so sad that I am here at school instead of at camp. All the fourth graders can't wait to go to camp. I hope I can visit soon. I have been to many camps and this is one of my favorite camps. I can't thank you enough!  Sincerely, Katie"
