Loved it. Robert is great. We walked across the lake, and walked to a river. The lodge is super nice, and the cabins are nice and warm.

I went here as a child, now 20 yrs later upon picking my 12 yr old son up he exclaimed "this was the best week of my life Dad". I felt the same at his age. Huge thank you to all the staff for creating such a wonderful environment for all the campers!!!
