CAMPERS SPEAK:
"DO NOT EVEN HeSITATE TO GO TO CAMP ONIDAH!
IT WAS SO AWESOME! I WISH I COULD GO BACK SOONER! WE LEARNED SWORDMANSHIP, BLACKSMITHING, AND LIFE SKILLS THAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING AND THE FRIENDS THAT I MADE AND THE EXPERIENCE THAT I HAD WAS UNFORGETTABLE!"


“I’ve been obsessed with Forged in Fire for the past year, so blacksmithing was a dream. But to learn how to apply the DPAR technique into every part of my life has actually been life changing."
“I was supposed to go to EFY this summer, but it didn’t work with my summer schedule. Then I heard about Camp Onidah and it ended up being just as powerful. Sword training, blacksmithing, and real spiritual growth—I didn’t feel like I missed out at all.”

PARENT PERSPECTIVES:
"I highly recommend Camp Onidah for any young man!
My son went last year, and it was truly a phenomenal experience for him! He met other young men that he now considers his brothers, and he had a blast! He learned so many valuable lessons and skills! My favorite, as a mom, is the leadership skills that the young men gain at Camp Onidah!"
-Christena R.


"He was very hesitant to go to Camp Onidah...He didn’t know other participants and thought it was sure to be awkward at the very least.
Well, he was amazed and the fast friendships, empowering conversations, and engaging activities. He still wears his camp Onidah wristband to this day, and says he’s totally in for the next camp!"
-BJ H.
"Truly, I believe that being in the mountains, doing “boy” stuff with other boys in person with NO access to electronics is exactly what he needed and has been such a blessing as we’ve continued with other activities this summer."
-Julianne H.
