★★★★★Tanner SherlockIt came out here to do a church service. It is absolutely gorgeous out here. If you get a chance to attend church on Sunday morning at 8:00 a.m., do it. Well worth it.
★★★★★Philip PerkinsI visited Camp Norwesca to see how my church would like it to possibly send the youth out for a week of adventure, spiritual healing , and bonding ! I was thoroughly impressed by jacci and her patience with me as I had many questions about the camp and she answered every one of them. The landscape is beautiful and don’t get me started on the outdoor chapel! Looking forward to sending many kids there to enjoy this wonderful camp
★★★★★Jennifer GalbraithThe Saddle Up and Ride 2023 fundraiser was so much fun! Great food, fellowship and prizes! Thank you Brandi and Jacci!
★Christy CMy kids had a horrible experience. There were wasps hiding in their cabin and their counselor wouldn’t do anything about it. There was no fun activities and my kids hated gaga ball. The website looks nothing like the actual camp. There was no other kids at the camp, and they felt lonely and sad. Worse 5 days of their lives. Don’t recommend.
★Emma Musquiz JenkinsThis place was so lonely when my daughter went. Never going back. When she went, there were 4 other kids in her age group. All they did was play gaga ball. There were also wasps everywhere. Camp counselors odd.
