★★★★★Tammi PoffenbergerWe have a large group of ladies. We do a Scrapbook fundraiser at Camp Cilca 2 times per year. They have a big room, decent bedrooms with a bathroom. The kitchen is decent. They have someone cook for us. We love it! We go there to scrapbook in the Spring and in the fall.
★andrea prosperiniThe counselors are all great however my daughter overall did not have a good experience. When we pulled up to check in, the camp looked run down. The grass hadn't been mowed. The cabins "looked" clean when we got there. I didn't notice cobwebs, spiders, ect. When i picked her up after the 2 days, I find out she didn't sleep hardly at all because according to her counselor that was assigned to her cabin, her bed had the most bugs in it. When i asked my daughter more about it, she said there were roaches all over her bunk and wall where she slept. This infuriates me. I understand it's camp and there will be bugs however bugs should be outside. The cabins need sprayed and the mattresses needs picked up, cleaned under and sprayed.
★★★★Francisco SaraviaI liked the area. It was clean and full of fun activities. They have a sound system with a microphone and auxiliary cord. Only suggestion would be to improve the wifi.
