★★★★★Kristen HamiltonMy kido had a great week! It was her first time. 3 weeks later she’s still chatting my ear off about Camp “Dakota”
★★★★★Allan StanfordSafe, trustworthy, and special. My kids love this place as much as I did when I was a kid. Very thankful for it.
★★★★★Jessy WhiteThis is an awesome camp! Great people and a wonderful bible based camp. If you are trying to get in sign up the day it opens. Kids have gone 2 years now and beg to go back every year. They love it. There are people who are generational that go to this camp. Then they serve at it. Highly encourage it.
★★★★★Chris MohlkeThis was the best vacation ever! We are planning to come back every summer until Jesus returns. Very affordable. And the family that lives on the property were extremely kind and helpful. They made us all feel welcome and like we were family of their own. Highly recommend.
★★★★★Daniel EvansI don’t have kids to send to camp here. But as far as natural beauty goes, the valley that this camp sits in would be hard to beat. The pine trees are so tall and beautiful. There is a tennis court that needs some attention. There is a swimming hole with a pretty scary rope swing. Do a retreat here with your friends if you’re okay with no alcohol, no tobacco rules. Book the Pines for a high-class lodge stay for your family.
