Amazing staff and camp was perfect size for our school's 2 night field trip. Sara was so incredibly kind and patient with our school group and organized a fantastic program of study for our students!

Sent a camper...had a great experience. Outdoor adventures in a wooded area. This is an overnight camp. Everyone was pleasant friendly and attentive. Thank you for a great summer of camping on behalf of that camper.

★★★★★Stephani Muzyczek

accompanied a group of middle schoolers. the staff was amazing! the amount of energy and enthusiasm was great and they kept the kids engaged and active the whole time we were there. the activities are varied and fun and most have an obvious lesson on teamwork and respecting others and in general being a actual viable human being. the grounds are beautiful and the entire event was great!

CDW is an amazing camp! The people who run it and work there create a warm, peaceful, comfortable environment where even the shyest camper can thrive, feel loved and supported, and make friends to last a lifetime.
