★★★★★DougAttended here for 2 summers in the 80s. Great place. Funny how things have changed as back then the counselors would take us up a trail, just off the camp property and have the campers fight each other. They called it "Organized Fighting." Nancy and the staff had no idea.
★Ella CrockerIt was very bad and I do not recommend. They barely fed us and violated multiple health codes. Do not send your kids there.
