★★★★★David BellGreat camp! My kids have been here many times and love it
★★★★★Cousin SteveABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! The food is amazing, the people are great, and I seriously think there are no better camps then this one. My first time I went was in 2012 for mini camp and it was so fun, you don't waste a single second, and if your worried about missing your family, DON'T BE!! Time flies when you're there, and when I go this summer to awaken, I will see my old friends and we will have a great time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
★★★★★Melanie FenningsdorfMy son Noah and Abigail started going to Camp Gideon as preschoolers during day camp. They loved that. This will be their 3rd year of overnight camp. They love it. They beg to go back every year. We are not attending an Evangelical Friends church any longer and I wanted them to try our new church affiliations church camp and they didn't want to have any part of that All the kids are included and there seems to me NO exclusivity. My daughter Abi was very scared her first year and said she didn't want to go, we made her go and when the week was over she said "mom, I don't want to leave. I had such a great time. Can I come back next year" ? Keep up the good work. I am signing them both up this year for Sports/Drama camp and they are bringing their cousins with them.
