Powered by GoogleI went to this summer camp several times in 70s and 80s. Loved all the activities there as a kid...And especially the Gospel message!
Beware if you are moving anywhere close to this camp. They put the waterlines in for the crystal bay area, and Handy water will cut your water off to accomodate their camp. Its a case of the salvation army saying " hey, we put the lines in. We did something good for you. But , we control your water whenever we want to." It's bull. Christian camp ? Yep hit the nail on the head with that. Religion is 100% about controling others and they sure do reflect that.
I went to their Teen Camp summer of 2017 & over the past summer i went for 5 weeks for a music and arts conservatory everyone is amazing and nice and the conservatory staff is amazing it helped me grow spiritually and musically in my talents.
I am a youth pastor in the Concord area. I took my group up there for a weekend retreat and it was an amazing experience! They have a ton of things to offer for us to do, and Lisa was great to work with. We will definitely make this an annual trip!
I have been going here for about 9 years it's my second home love it💓💓❤❤
