Comments from Former Staff

"Bishopswood is one of the happiest places I know and the enthusiasm and fun people have every second of camp draws me back year after year. Everyone is welcomed and accepted at camp and that makes Bishopswood a very easy place to want to return to each summer."

"At Bishopswood however, everything we do, from eating meals, to community kapers, to taking showers, is done with respect for the environment and one another. I have never been in a place that has a healthier more respectful view towards the people and places that we need, and spending two months in an environment like that, and sharing the passion that I have with other people for the same things, has a powerful draw for me that I have only recently been able to consciously identify and appreciate."

"I love the traditions of camp that never get old and all of the old and new friends that I see and meet. I love spending my summer in a beautiful place with delicious food and wonderful people."

"I love being there to witness and help campers grow into great people. I can’t wait to come back and see my little Anselm girls representing Laud proudly."

"There’s something about the way camp works that makes me want to come back every year. Maybe it’s the slogan… it really is so simple to have a great time and be doing something you love with lots of people you love. Some things in particular—camp outs with my cabin, the art barn, the sound of everyone in the dining hall, the view from chapel rocks, shoveling compost with teenage girls, the Christmas pageant, filling out cook-out forms with a co-counselor… the list goes on."
