Allen - Being stuck far in the north woods with no reception or internet seems like the start of a Tom Hanks survival movie. Luckily, we were stuck with the Donahoes, a resourceful family of individuals who were able to provide food, water, shelter, and internet (sometimes), the four basic necessities of survival. As our time went on, more and more people kept coming. We were able to make due and kept having fun playing volleyball, going out on ATV's, and doing all sorts of water-sports. Kevin was even able to catch a lot of air on the tubes, and while he was exhausted for the rest of the trip, it was worth it (at least for the spectators). Our last night, an alarm went off and scared us all. The boys at the cabin were able to sleep through the whole event, but at the house everyone was suddenly awoken. Luckily, the ever-resourceful Donahoes were able to locate the faulty sensor with their sharp eyes and take it down. Fortunately, nothing went wrong and we all were able to get back to sleep quickly. Overall, another great fourth of July at Camp Donahoe! Thanks for inviting me up!

Eric M - What an absolute unit this week was. Everything we did was straight baller. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the boys, from hitting massive air on the tubes to bro trips to Lick-A-Dee_Splits and Jokin' Joes. I loved playing volleyball with everyone and smokin my serves. I can summarize this week with 4 words: Rollin Tubes and Rollin Scooters (Sorry abt that btw). My favorite part was when we were just vibing by the campfire, roastin' the mallows and the rents (jk lol). Catchin a walleye was pretty chill too. I also had my first experience as a true boater when I took the waverunners out for the first time. I loved whippin those around and flyin off the waves. I still need to work on docking them tho. I loved every moment of the week and I can't wait to run it back next time! Godspeef

Brendan - What a week. Rolled up to Camp Donahoe after a luxury ride in some farmer's Lincoln (s/o to that g) to play some classic Spikeball. As the weekend ended the fun accelerated faster than any wave runner I rode. I enjoyed waking up to hearing gunshots from the 'rents as well as Chadley on the ATV. Floofy dogs, check, 360 degree whips, check, pro volleyball, check, GIRLS, check. Me and the boys did plenty of exploring around our property and the other lakes, and Tommy and I explored the girls tube in the lake and took it around for a whip off the wave runner which was THE fastest I've ever been whipped. Also, 8 feet of air on the tubes was not a rarity this time around. I had some pasty white boy take over the back of my kneeboard as well. Me and the boys did some fantastic undercooking only to be swallowed by the Chad. One could say we overused this property, but I can say I never was not having fun. This trip is summed up by two eternal words: THE BOYS. Thank you so much to all the Donahoes for putting up with 9 energetic white boys. Also, we'll be handling all future dishes Grandma.


Kevin - The architecture reminds one of a quaint Tuscan beet farm, and the natural aroma of 9 sweaty boys drifts into the bedroom and makes you dream of simpler times. You will never want to leave your room. The informative lectures on the underground firework business will satisfy all your bomb building curiosity. The morning views of 10 foot tube jumps will tug at your heart strings. barrel rolling a tube never seemed so possible. 10 / 10 I really did enjoy my stay.


Zach S: Thanks for a fun weekend with da boys.


Talia - I had a blast doing all the fun activities like playing volleyball, tubing, and just hanging with everyone who was up throughout the week. This week was a perfect way to spend my vacation and get away for a little while. The Donahoes are truly my second family and I am blessed to be apart of such a great family. Thank you again for everything and including me in such a fun week up north.


Chase - After a 5 hour drive and a warning from a state trooper, I was delighted to be back at Camp Donahoe. Many new editions and upgrades to the camp enhanced my experience exponentially. The new Spikeball and Volleyball apparatus facilitated a more professional and competitive experience making possible tournament play feasible in the future. Tubing was painful but overall an adequate upper body workout. One discrepancy I encountered during my stay was the lack of competent internet access making snapchats and taking phone calls difficult. I also never arrived at the opportunity to cash in on my "dibs queue" spot to ride one of the scooters. Nevertheless, it was a very productive stay at Camp Donahoe and I look forward to schooling some more kids in Spikeball.


Ricky - It was a struggle to get to camp donahoe, but once I was there I had a great time tubing and playing volleyball when I was allowed out of the basement. I also had a lot of fun fishing and swimming. Overall, a great time hanging out with the boys.
Thank you for inviting me. I had a great time.

Eric B - 0.5 stars out of who gives a fart. This 4th of July weekend was a complete waste of time. First of all, I arrived to campdonahoe after driving for 5 miserable hours and I was absolutely starving. Then, they forced me to make my OWN sandwich... unbelievable. they didn't even have their own turkey. These were the first signs of a so-called "camp". After being whipped around on a deflated tube and peer pressured into doing flips all day I had numerous tube burns and then this small man even KICKED ME IN THE FACE while I was falling off of the tube, I think he was an intern. I tried to google "how to fix tube burn" but google kept saying that I have "connectivity issues"... even their version of google was incompetent. They played it off by saying "the internet wasn't working"... my ass.. I doubt those cheapskates couldn't even afford internet. That night was even worse. I had to sit through this horrible movie about sacrificial killer elves and gay singers. The next day was EVEN WORSE. The intern made cold sweaty pancakes for breakfast and then they made us sit around watching the beautiful weather for hours. When we finally went out on the boat it started pouring rain and I got soaked. Now I have to drive ALL the way back home wet. They built up my expectations by saying there would be "amazing fireworks" and "exciting water sports"... yeah right... In short, camp Donahoe blows.


Lukas - When arriving at camp donahoe I was very amazed by the beautiful scenery of the nature and the house. I truly have never been to such a great overall lake house, literally everything you can ask for to be at on a lake house you guys have, and everything is the best of the best so thankyou so much! But all in all I had a great few days and couple nights


Alex - My experience at campdonahoe was amazing! We went fishing, jet skiing, wake surfing, ATVing, and much more. Besides not having the greatest WiFi I enjoyed the time spent here. I am very thankful for the opportunity to say here. All in all I would give my experience a 4.5/5 stars. Its been real campdonahoe stay smooth.

Pierson - I had an amazing time here at Camp Donahoe, great place and great people! So many activities to do on and off the water. Loved it here! Would definitely visit again!!!!
