Powered by GoogleLast year my daughter had an amazing time I wish I could say that for this year. Been drama in the cabins, 8 days into the Camp season and I've gotten a total of two pictures meanwhile I have about a thousand pictures of the camp counselors. Definitely will be looking for a different camp for next summer way too much money for way too little.
Fantastic experience for kids of any age, and even young adults and adults willing to come in and work. The many years I've spent there have shaped me into the man I am today. I've personally attended 7 years in a row, and plan to do so for many more. The lot it sits in is beautiful, and perfectly unique. The lake is a perfect balance of calm to the crazy of life. Great weather, even when it rains. Highly recommended.
Kids had a blast at NW and PVC. Thanks so much for the memories they will surely cherish for years to come.
