★★★★★CMy granddaughter looks forward to this camp every year. She has a blast and everyone I’ve met there are wonderful!
★★★★★Rey8th year here including the hiatus due to covid. Truly an amazing place to go for a few weeks to have fun, make friends, and its nice being able to manage my diabetes without to much hassle, unlike basically everywhere else in the world.
★★★★★Mark HawkinsFun place to go plenty to do wall climbing zip line swimming tennis volleyball nice Camp all the way around ball field and Target practice area good area for family fun
★★★★★Richard WheelerTruly a hidden gem! I was absolutely blown away by the solitude and serenity of this camp. It really is a little slice of secluded heaven. I believe it's primarily a camp for diabetic children but they did inform me that they will rent the camp ground out. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great place to host an outdoor event, or large group camp out. They have multiple cabins, showers, toilets and even a mess hall. I did some plumbing work here with the company I work for. The camp was unoccupied at the time but there were a few staff members around. All of whom were very friendly and full of info about the place. If 10 out of 5 stars was an option I'd click it until the button stopped working😁
★★★★★Jason ConnellThe best wedding I've been to besides my own was here it only lasted 5 min and the rest was reception.
