Camper & Family Comments

Murray Camp was and still continues to be a treasured Nantucket experience
for my three children ages 20, 18 and 14. Our family has been coming to Nantucket since the 1920s. Over the past fifteen years, at least one of my children has attended or worked at the camp, each summer. Murray Camp has always been able to provide the best that Nantucket has to offer to children. It is a wonderfully balanced, safe
and fun place to be during a Nantucket summer.

My children attended and later worked at Murray Camp. My favorite memory is seeing how happy they were, getting off of the bus each day, excited to tell us about their fun filled day! It was so great!

Well, why do you think that the camp T-shirts say; "the best", "the coolest", "the most awesome"? Kids find out why when they come to Murray Camp.

Murray Camp is the most enriching environment that Nantucket has to offer to children. They provide a safe, nurturing experience to children, that I've yet to find in any educational setting or program that my children have encountered. The children are enriched through curriculum and activities that  have them enjoying the island's very best. There is more laughter and happy memories provided to children through their camp experience there, than I could ever state in words.

My favorite time of year is summer, because that's when I get to go back to
Nantucket and see all of my friends at Murray Camp.

I've been going to Murray camp since I was six years old. When I grow up, I'm going to work there!

Murray Camp is part of Nantucket's identity! It is the oldest children's summer camp on the island. Two of my children attended the camp through their childhood and both later worked at the camp. They loved it! They met many friends there that they have remained friends with, through today. My youngest is now 21. I can't say enough good things about this camp.

That's all my kids talk about. They have had such great summers at Murray Camp. We have been more than delighted!

What makes Murray Camp so special is that Mary has the ability to make every parent there, feel as though his or her child is the most important child in her world. It is truly amazing!

I'm impressed that Mary & Chuck are always there, pleasantly orchestrating the smooth, safe, operation of the camp. It makes a difference to me that which ever activity the children are participating in, that there are mature, responsible, educators, overseeing things.

We are huge fans of Murray Camp! Summers on Nantucket wouldn't be as wonderful as they are, without Murray Camp.

Our family chooses Murray Camp year after year for our children because of the thoughtful attention to detail Chuck and Mary put into hiring their staff. Each year we can count on our children spending the day with qualified, outgoing, loving, attentive, fair and FUN camp counselors, who have been fully screened and hand picked by the owners. Our children wish the camp day would go on until 6:00pm at night, so that they could spend more time with the counselors. In fact, many evenings our kids will join an evening program of Murray Camp, called "Kids Night Out" just so they can spend more time with the staff. Murray camp continues to be more than enriching for our children. They love it!
