★Mixed up Outdoor AdventuresIf you want your kids to learn important Christian values like respect, common courtesy, thoughtfulness and keeping their word do not send them to this camp. These people don't seem to know what any of those characteristics are.

★★★★★Bri Snyder (Brianna)This camp is a wonderful place to host anything from a birthday party to a wedding to a church retreat with an on-site industrial kitchen, 55ft climbing tower, pool, zip line, gym, and game room. It is beautifully nestled in the mountains with multiple large willow trees in campus. The staff is friendly and eager to meet any needs customers have. The camp also host it's own summer camp during the month of July with 2 weeks of teen camp (ages 13-17) and 2 divided weeks of junior camp. Campers have the opportunity to worship and learn about Christ, go on adventures (tubing, canoeing, crafts, climbing), and fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ.
