★★★★★Ireland DowdI attended this camp back in 2016, I believe. Now at 18 years old looking back, this was an amazing experience filled with wonderful and awe. I was one of the youngest so with that came some difficulties. I remember we did dorm checks and whoever had the neatest bunk would earn a prize and back that what happened seemed big but now it's so small... I spent so much time cleaning and organizing my area and one of the fellow dorm mates went and poured raisins on my bed. At that time the staff was different so I ended up getting in trouble for it, but that didn't mean it wasn't worth it. At camp there is pothole, which is essentially an early morning polar plunge where you would go jump in a lake and if you did it for a week you got a leather badge. I completed 2 weeks. My favorite part about the camp had to be the horseback riding and archery. This camp is worth it and if I were younger I would still attend.
★★★★★Carolynn St. JohnThis camp was a wonderful experience for my grandson. He had a blast!
★★★★★Kyle JohnsonI sent my 12 year old there last summer and she told me that it was the best camp ever! she wanted to go back there again for 3 weeks instead of 2
★★★★★Mitch KannierThis is truly an amazing camp. The owners/staff are amazing people that work their butts off for these kids. The facility’s are extremely well kept and in an amazing location. We just picked our 8 year old daughter up and she had the time of her life. We are without a doubt sending both our kids every year.
