★★★★The Lorax

Best place to spend a week of your summer but if something happens they don’t call home. My daughter not only broke her ankle but also got poison ivy and poison oak the nurse just gave her Tylenol and an ice pack. No electronics are allowed and kids have no way to contact you so my daughter was unable to even tell me what happened. But it’s still an awesome place and she had a great time so if you go, just be careful.

My grandson did the 3 day camp experience which was a moving experience, excellent director, staff members, guests experience the live performances...the shows were great... overall the Camp is a plus for producing and improving the students and young people outlook towards life....and such a beautiful property 👍👍👍💯

★★★★★Matthew Edison

ima be straight up with y’all. I’ve been going to this camp for 10 years and it is the highlight of my summer every year. The friends you make, the new activities you can play in whether you are at camp or not, and even the counselors are awesome! Plus I am a type 1 diabetic and this camp has nurses that are super helpful. Overall I 100% recommend sending your kids here or if you are a kid like me show your parents this review and make plans to go! See ya soon!

★★★★Katie Seitz

Started sending my daughter for daycamp last year, and it's been great! Tested it out for my son this year and he's liking it so far. Tons of outside activity and fun games the counselors coordinate. The rainy day activities can tend to be a little repetitive and boring according to them, but we've been lucky enough to not have had to many. Spots fill up very fast so make sure you know when registration opens!

★★★★★Gretchen Dust

I cannot say enough good things about this camp! Every experience we have had there has been incredible. My son his head nothing but the best time enjoying each and every outdoor activity imaginable! No electronics here just good old fashioned fun! The facility is always clean and well maintained. The owners and employees are active within the community. One of the most memorable things is the fact today make a camp city when your child has an overnight experience their. You get to see all the fun they have had on their own and it just makes your heart smile.
