Camp Farley — Local services in Mashpee

I came here as my first camp experience, and I have both good and bad stories to tell. I think that this camp could be fun for younger kids, but most evening activities are completely out of control and unorganized to the point that older kids would ask to use the bathroom just to get a break even the counselors would get really mad and exhausted from these activity's. The transition periods are very unorganized and you have to sit on these benches for 10-15 minutes between each activity. There was a staff member that was pretty mean to a girl in my cabin. A girl in my cabin had a really bad fear of throwing up, and someone in my cabin went outside because they felt sick. She began to have a panic attack, so her sister went to get someone to help her calm down. The girl in my cabin was violently sobbing and hyperventilating and we got the response of "oh ok go to bed I cant help you" in a very flat and condescending tone. It was the middle of the night, and we just had to sit there and try our best to calm her down. On top of this, the waterfront is not at all this the overviews or pictures. Many accepts of what is advertised needs to be updated. The waterfront was good, however it was incredibly unsanitary. The water trampoline and floating dock was COVERED in bird poop, to the point where when someone would step on it, the water around the doc would turn white from the bird poop. I understand that its hard to control that, but a hose down or two after swim is easy to do. Many of the activities felt as tho they just needed a filler because it was really random. For example, there was "whale party", which was a makeshift last minute thing. The showers and bathrooms where very unsanitary and gross. All of girls side would have to shower in three showers, and no matter how hard you tried to keep your clean clothes clean, you would put them on a bench and just like that your clothes would have MUD on them. However, despite all of this, great counselors, some activities are really fun, and they have really good food. I have a lot of memories from those five days, that will never forget, but looking back it wasn't the summer I was looking for. Despite my opinion, this doesn't mean that your younger kids wont have a fun time at this camp. I would just beware because many of these really good reviews are either written by kids that have been going their whole life, or by family of...

I recently had the privilege of attending Camp Farley, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! The camp's picturesque location, well-planned activities, and above all, the exceptional counselors, Owen and Theo, made my time there absolutely amazing.

From the moment I arrived, it was evident that Owen and Theo were passionate about their roles as camp counselors. They greeted each camper with warm smiles and genuine enthusiasm, instantly creating a welcoming and inclusive environment. Their ability to connect with campers of all ages was remarkable, making everyone feel valued and included.

Throughout my stay at Camp Farley, Owen and Theo demonstrated incredible dedication and professionalism. They were always prepared, organized, and ready to guide us through a wide range of exciting activities. They managed to strike the perfect balance between fun and safety, ensuring everyone had a memorable experience while keeping us well-supervised.

What set Owen and Theo apart was their exceptional ability to inspire and motivate. They had an uncanny talent for recognizing each camper's strengths and helping them overcome their challenges. With their unwavering support and encouragement, I witnessed personal growth and self-confidence blossom among the campers, including myself. Their positive attitude and belief in our abilities were...

Camp Farley or Camp stay away at all costs? Better one. Camp Farley or Survival of the fittest. Does your little angel want to experience natural selection? Welcome to camp Farley! Where on your way to the bathroom you have a chaperone of a 100 different spices of dangerous bugs and the buddy rule? Remember when you had to change your little angels diapers? Imagine that. It’s 4 am, you spent 3 hours trying to fall asleep and you get woken up because of the rule that you can’t leave the cabin without a buddy. Like to shower? I do too. Too bad the shower line is longer than one at a homeless shelter in New York. You can shower (but 30 minutes after you even get in line.) and the shower is DIRTY. Am I cleaning myself or cleaning the shower? Aristotle couldn’t answer that one. But at least you have the counclers! Oh no.. A 20 year old councler spouting outrageous words about my 9 year old? Bullying in rawest form. The counclers are hardly trained. A few of them are nice. Have no fear, even more bullies are here. The camp director almost never pays attention the ACTUAL bullying. Please I BEG. do not even even consider stepping foot in this hell. Stay away at all costs. The only good councler was georgia! LOVE...
