Scarlett had the most thrilling, joy-filled, and truly formative experience at Camp Mataponi this summer.
She talks about the friends she’s made in her bunk as if they’ve been together for years, the thrill of jumping into the lake on hot afternoons, the laughter during theme dinners, and the pride she felt learning new skills at activities she’d never tried before. She’s grown more confident, independent, and adventurous, and she’s had so much fun every single step of the way!

You’ve created something truly extraordinary! A place where every child feels seen, celebrated, and encouraged to be their best self. The energy, love, and traditions that Mataponi has are felt in every detail, from the morning announcements to the campfire songs under the stars.
It’s clear that the community you’ve built shapes not just summers, but childhoods! We feel so grateful that Scarlett’s first sleepaway camp experience happened here. It’s been more than just a summer — it’s been a defining moment in her life, one she’ll carry with her forever. We can’t wait to have both of our girls at Mataponi next year.
