★Lydia B👎🏼 They don’t care about your safety or communicating dangerous things with a child’s parents. They are non responsive and mean. They tried to make us sign a NDA. It took them 2 months two apologize like it was fake. They don’t meet deadlines or do promised resolutions. They director is inexperienced. And was open about her relationship with a counselor. They let you be in danger and say it was a choice when you change activities to stay safe. I was 11 at this camp and was put in an incredibly dangerous situation with older boys. I am okay, but that was just lucky and not because they manage safety at all well. This used to be a good camp. Now it’s not even safe and I’m not only kid. .
★★★★★Brooklyn KringsAmazing! This was our 7 year Olds first camp experience. We did the mini and when we picked her up she said why didn't I get to stay the whole week!?! We will be back.

★★★★★Francis ButruilleI attended the camp fire programs for a long time an this place is the perfect example of what summer camps should run like. They really provide a wide variety of different camps that fit lots of different kids and age groups. And I've always been so impressed with how well their staff takes care of campers who are differently abled.
