★★★★★T.K. JordanSent 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 Muzyczekaccompanied 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!
