★★★★★Maria Patricia EscobedoStunning views on a 5-acre property featuring multiple campsites. This hidden gem offers a tranquil environment for relaxation and a connection with nature
★★★★★PhotogenicI just went to this place this past Friday and I will tell you this, they had different zones of activities you can go too and a lot of them seem very scary because they are 30 Feet in the Air!!! But I can assure you that the equipment Campfire USA provided us with felt very safe and secure!!! My group leaders from Campfire USA, Mika Tim and a few other leaders were also helpful. They honestly made my experience as well as the group I went with experiences that much better! Even though it did sprinkle a little before we got there, their equipment held up just fine and everyone felt secure! All the group leaders and the nice equipment really made me feel safe overall doing things I never thought I would try before!! Overall, being that we were 30 feet above ground most of my time there, I feel as though my team and I had a 5/5 experience and I hope more people learn about it this place 🙂
★★★★★Dominique WFirst time going&I enjoyed myself. I was there on a field trip with the female&male leadership(middle school). Basically the kids learned about team bonding and what can they take with that experience &put it into their daily lives. Wish they were around when I was growing up.
★★★★★Shelly WLovely 3 acre wooded lot with fire rings, high and low ropes course, and wheelchair accessibility. Hosts before & after school programs, day camps, and youth leadership and outdoor skills training.
★devinWent here around age 5-4, I’m 14 now. Mediocre summer camp experience, but the instance that stood out to me the most was the last day I was there. It was the birthday of a counselor, and many games and activities were set up for the celebration. However, for seemingly no reason, the staff refused to let me enjoy any of the activities available. Whenever I inquired why, the staff simply replied, “You can’t participate in the party.” I proceeded to sit at a bench and cry for the rest of the day, all the while tortured by the cries of joy of the surrounding children. It is horrible, unethical, and honestly disgusting for “mature adults” to treat children this way. I urge all parents considering putting their children in this program to reconsider, as nothing good can come from investing your money in corrupt organizations such as these.
