“For 49 weeks a year I wait for three. This camp holds my closest friends and fondest memories. This is camp with a capital “C”.”

Kristin Ettinger

6 year camper, 4 year counselor
“In the years that I have been part of Circle F the one word that comes to mind is family. For my first four years as I camper, I came with my brother and cousins. When I came back without them, I realized I was establishing a new camp family and this family was like no other. I am so glad I have been able to share such a simple, peaceful and powerful place with my family back at home while being part of an additional family here. Circle F means something special to every individual who shares in the fun, warmth and the traditions because the “F” in Circle F, in my opinion, stands for family.”

“At home, a lot of people act a certain way to fit in with their friends. At Circle F you can be yourself and people will like you for who you are. You can be the person you truly are and everybody accepts that.”

Nelson Tift

“I will always remember the people here at Circle F. I love meeting new people every year. The chance of meeting a new best friend keeps me coming back.”

Rachel Shpak

“This place is amazing to me. Every year I come here, I discover new things about myself. I know that I could not go one summer without Circle F. The memories bring me back each year, but most of all it’s the home I live in each summer and the family that comes with it.”

Afton Weiner

9 year camper

“There is no friend like a Circle F friend. When you pull up to that clay road, you don’t get all excited because you are about to spend three weeks in a cabin with nine other campers. You get excited because you know that those nine other campers are soon going to become your closest friends.”

“Circle F is the perfect comfort zone because when you are here you never feel alone.”

Alex Jadidian

6 year camper, 3 year counselor

“Circle F is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. The experiences I have are countless, and the lessons I have learned at camp completely surpass anything I’ve learned in a classroom.”

Claire Chevrier

8 year camper, 1 year counselor

“My first year I was known as the little girl who wouldn’t stop crying, but eight summers later I have grown to be one of the most camp-obsessed people ever. Whenever I leave the clay road all I can think of is something my cousin said years ago: ‘My house is just somewhere to go to wait until I go back home to Circle F.’”

Athena Masson

5 year camper

“Circle F is my home away from home with a big, loud, and crazy family waiting. It is a place where I can be free and have fun with my huge family. Circle F has helped me grow into who I am today.”
