Powered by GoogleThis was my daughters first camp experience. It was church based which she was unsure of, she said it was a little hot and they didnt swim enough but that she wants to go back next year and go to more camps, if possible.
New dining hall looks great!! Now getting the kitchen completed and set up
I stayed here for our church ladies retreat and we were treated with such hospitality! The staff were incredibly warm, welcoming and has servants hearts. They killed it in the kitchen. Better than the restaurants I've come across in Salem! They worked together like a well oiled machine, with smiles on their face and joy in their hearts. The cabins were clean and air temp controlled! The toiletries were stocked. I didn't feel like I needed to wear sandles in their super clean showers. Such a wonderful place to retreat and relax in if you ever get so lucky♥️
My kids have gone almost every year and they love it. They always meet new friends and look forward to going every year. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. They love learning God's word, worshiping, and hearing/sharing testimonies. They love swimming, playing games, and trying new things!
My girls attended this camp last year and fell in love with it! The staff was INCREDIBLE at making the girls (who came totally alone with no other churches or friends) feel welcomed and included. They can't wait to head back this year!
